It was just before seven pm on a Wednesday and while we were promised a rainless afternoon, it had not ceased raining! Ryan and I were resting there commenting on the sports results, prepared for the 8th call to arrive. In due time we had a call from a young lady on a business expedition who had gone to the BP filling station in Portsmouth and filled petrol in her diesel Suzuki lease car by mistake. She was somewhat irritated by the sounds of it, stating "I cannot believe that I have ruined the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to filling my petrol car I had did not remember I was driving a diesel!" We asked her to take it easy and not to fret, plus that these things regrettably can happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle into a safe position and, as it was only a few minutes away from where we were, we were able to find the lady quickly. The bad fuel was drained so she could once again go back to the hotel she was residing at. Even though we got fairly wet, it was all rewarding to see her drive away relaxed and not so anxious.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around West Yorkshire we have discovered a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination where an individual has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to a degree caused by motorists not being totally sure how to use it (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly near to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what is the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Since the product is mostly ionised water, it is actually like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Apart from this, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

If in case you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out asap. And certainly do not switch on the engine - not even to maneuver it to a parking place. Assuming you have started the vehicle you would most likely need to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be an important matter to deal with in a car - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel will contribute to idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out properly, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to clean out compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to deal with both circumstances very simply.

Bear in mind that any time the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will likely be totally wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to parking bay we can gain access to the storage and remove the fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel reservoir lying in the back of your premises with unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many private and industrial properties in West Yorkshire for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or even a few drums in a garage, as long as we are able to access it, we are able to drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Portsmouth (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a complete West Yorkshire Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to fill up the car in cases where you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) to fill up your vehicle. They will be able to deal with any of the common troubles which might come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or maybe dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Portsmouth - Portsmouth Fuel Drain

A gentleman had broken down just near a road in Portsmouth. His Land Rover motor had stopped functioning and he had no clue what was awry until he realised he put unleaded in his diesel vehicle. He contacted us to get a fuel drain and that's when he said to us: "I can not believe that I didn't know that I had put the incorrect fuel in my car." He stated that he had gotten no rest the day before and that must have been precisely why.
