It was after eight pm on a Monday and while we were assured a dry day, it hadn't given up on pouring! Paul and I were resting there commenting on the sports results, waiting around for the sixth fuel drain of the day to arrive. Finally we got the phone call from a girl on a company trip who had gone to the Esso petrol garage in Sandford and filled petrol in her diesel Hyundai hire car by mistake. She was quite irritated apparently, saying "I cannot believe that I've wrecked the car! I am just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" I just instructed her to settle back and not to fret, also that things like this sadly can happen. She managed to maneuver the car to a secure position and, as it was just a few miles away from us, we were able to reach her almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was removed and she could get back to the Travelodge she was living at. Despite the fact we got thoroughly drenched, it was all rewarding seeing her drive away contented and less concerned. Yet another fuel drain in West Yorkshire done well in my opinion!

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout West Yorkshire we are identifying a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination where somebody has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part as a consequence of drivers not understanding the right way to use it (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly adjacent to one another on the car.

So, precisely what is the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Since the product is mainly ionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition to this, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

In the case you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it as quickly as possible. And definitely do not start up the engine - not even to relocate it off the pump. If you have started the car you may almost certainly have to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's petrol or diesel, can be a serious condition to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel tank can certainly contribute to idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with effectively, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out when compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to take care of both situations quite easily.

Be aware that as long as the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one is going to be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you have the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to a car parking spot we can reach the storage and remove the fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got a fuel tank lying in the back of your premises with unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several private and business properties in West Yorkshire for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even numerous drums in a garage, if we are able to reach it, we can certainly drain it.

Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Sandford (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a comprehensive West Yorkshire Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to re-fill the car in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at cost) and fill up your automobile. They will take care of any of the common troubles which could go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
