It was close to 9 pm on a Saturday and while we were assured a dry night, it had not stopped raining! Ryan and me were relaxing there commenting on the recent sports results, waiting for the sixth call that day to come in. Eventually we received a phone call from a lady on a business trip who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol garage in Barcroft and put petrol in her diesel MG rental car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was rather irritated it seemed, saying "I still can't believe that I've destroyed the car! I'm so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I had did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I just asked her to take it easy and not to fret, also that such things sadly can happen. She had managed to maneuver the car to a secure spot and, seeing that it was just a few minutes away from where we were, we could get to her fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was extracted so she was able to go home to the Premier Inn she was lodging in. Although we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive away contented and much less apprehensive. One more misfuel correction in West Yorkshire well done in my mind!

AdBlue Contamination

In West Yorkshire we are finding a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly as a result of drivers not being totally sure the way to to make use of (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually right close to each other on the automobile.

So, exactly what is the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Additionally, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And absolutely do not start the engine - not even to maneuver it from the pump. In cases where you have started the vehicle you may likely have to have the full fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is actually an important situation to deal with in a vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel may trigger idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed properly, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both circumstances fairly easily.

Keep in mind however that so long as the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the previous one will likely be totally wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to a car or truck parking spot we can gain access to the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have carried out numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Management of Waste Fuel

We have been called out to many domestic and business properties in West Yorkshire to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even several drums in a storage shed, if we are able to access it, we can empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Barcroft (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a comprehensive West Yorkshire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to refill your car any time you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at cost) to fill your vehicle. They will be able to handle any of the normal troubles that could accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to start, as well as flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

We were able to drain the incorrect fuel and put fresh diesel once again in to the car. "Many thanks to you for your timely response, particularly at 3 a.m., I am grateful for it."
