It was close to 10 pm on a Monday and though we were guaranteed a rainless night, it hadn't ceased raining! Mark and I were relaxing discussing the tennis results, waiting around for the seventh telephone call to come in. In due time we had a phone call from a lady on a business excursion who had gone to the Tesco filling garage in Stanningley and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Dacia rental car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was somewhat affected it seemed, stating "I just can't believe that I have messed up the car! I am just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car that I had did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just advised her to settle back and not to be concerned, plus that these things unfortunately often happen. She was able to maneuver the car to a safe area and, because it was just a few minutes away from the office, we were able to arrive at her almost instantly. The wrong fuel was removed so she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was staying in.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around West Yorkshire we are noticing a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is in part caused by drivers not being aware of the right way to work with it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly close to one another on the car.

So, what exactly is the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? As AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it's as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition to this, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

In case you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained immediately. And obviously take care not to crank the engine - not even to shift it to a parking place. If perhaps you did start the car you may in all likelihood have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded or diesel, tends to be a serious matter to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Water in your diesel or petrol can easily lead to idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not dealt with correctly, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can deal with both circumstances pretty swiftly.

You should know that if ever the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will likely be wholly wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. So long as the boat is either on land, or secured close to a car or truck parking spot we should be able to access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've succesfully done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

We have 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 enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even some drums in a garage, if we are able to access it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Stanningley (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a full West Yorkshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to fill up your vehicle in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at home.
