It was about 7 pm on a Friday and though we were promised a rainless afternoon, it hadn't given up on raining! Ray and I were relaxing talking over the weekend's football results, prepared for the next fuel drain to arrive. Before long we had the phone call from a girl on a business trip who had arrived at the Shell petrol garage in Drub and put the wrong fuel in a diesel MINI rental in error. She was pretty troubled by the sounds of it, crying "I simply can't believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I totally forgot I was using a diesel!" We instructed her to settle back and not to worry, also that things like this unfortunately often happen. She was able to move the car into a secure area and, seeing that it was just a short distance from us, we were able to reach the lady fairly quickly. The bad fuel was drained so she could go home to the motel she was residing at. Although we got really soaked, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive home contented and a lot less stressed. A job in West Yorkshire well done in my books!

AdBlue In Diesel

In West Yorkshire we are finding a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination where somebody has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree caused by people being unsure of the way to work with it (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly near to one another on the automobile.

So, exactly what is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Also, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

If you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it immediately. And most definitely take care not to switch on the motor - not even to shift it off the pump. In the event that you have started the car you will very likely need to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious situation to take care of in an automobile - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel tank can easily lead to idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed effectively, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove than water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both situations pretty simply.

Remember that if ever the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will be wholly wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to a car or truck parking bay we should be able to access the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've succesfully done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container lying at the back of the garden containing old, useless or degraded fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to numerous domestic and industrial premises in West Yorkshire to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even some drums in a storage shed, if we are able to reach it, we can empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Drub (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a comprehensive West Yorkshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will help to re-fill your automobile any time you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at pump prices) to fill up your car or truck. They will fix the normal problems which might go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or maybe dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drub - Drub Wrong Fuel

A week ago a motorist called us right after his MG stopped working in the middle of a street in Drub. He had by mistake put petrol in his diesel motor and managed to drive to the road before having to give up. It was actually early in the morning and our technical engineer, who resides locally, arrived with him in approximately ten minutes. We managed to get rid of the wrong fuel and put fresh diesel yet again in the car. "Sincere kudos to you for your fast response, especially at 1 a.m., I truly am grateful for it."
