It was around ten pm on a Friday and although we were assured a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not stopped raining! Dan and I were resting there going over the tennis results, waiting around for the next fuel drain to arrive. Eventually we got the phone call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling station in Park Gate and filled petrol in her diesel Nissan hire car by mistake. The poor thing was rather agitated it seemed, telling me "I can not believe I've destroyed the car! I'm so used to filling my petrol vehicle I totally didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" We instructed her to relax and not to be concerned, also that these things unfortunately often happen. She managed to maneuver the car into a secure area and, as it was just a short distance from our van, we could find the customer without delay. The incorrect fuel was removed and she could return to the hotel she was living at. Even though we got really drenched, it was all worthwhile to see her drive off relaxed and a lot less anxious. One more job in West Yorkshire well done in my opinion!

Here's a list of the incorrect fuel services we deliver.

AdBlue Contamination

All around West Yorkshire we are finding a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent a result of people not being aware of the right way to work with it (note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right close to each other on the automobile.

Well, what is the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Also, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And certainly do not crank the engine - not even to relocate it to a parking place. If you did start the vehicle you may probably need to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, tends to be a serious situation to handle in a vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water in the diesel or petrol can cause idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of properly, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out than water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can take care of both situations rather simply.

Take note that as long as the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the previous one will likely be wholly wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to an automobile parking bay we are able to access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got a fuel tank lying in the back of the garden with aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of domestic and business properties in West Yorkshire to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a few drums in an outbuilding, provided that we can reach it, we are able to drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Park Gate (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a full West Yorkshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to fill up your automobile any time you are stranded on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump price) to fill your car or truck. They are also able to fix the normal troubles which could go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or even flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Fuel Removal Park Gate - Park Gate Wrong Fuel Drain

A customer called us from his residence on a road in Park Gate. He explained, "My car (a Hyundai) is not running and is making dreadful noises when I flip the key." He confessed that he had put petrol in his diesel car but then imagined he would solve the issue by putting more Diesel on top. We got there quickly, performed the drain and filled him up once again with clean Diesel. He said after that he would be absolutely sure to educate people not to fill up over the wrong fuel but to get it cleaned out promptly.
