It was around ten pm on a Wednesday and while we were assured a rainless night, it had not stopped pouring! Brian and me were relaxing talking over the weekend's golf results, waiting for the 8th job to come in. Finally we had a phone call from a woman on a company trip who had gone to the BP petrol garage in East Carlton and filled petrol in her diesel Peugeot rental car. The unfortunate thing was very agitated by the sounds of it, telling me "I simply can't believe that I have wrecked the car! I'm so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember I was running a diesel!" I just advised her to relax and not to be concerned, and also that such things regrettably can happen.

Our Areas of Expertise :

This is exactly what we do best.

AdBlue Contamination

All over West Yorkshire we have noticed a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination when an individual has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to a degree as a result of people not being totally sure the way to work with it (be aware: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right close to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what exactly is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing as the product is predominantly deionised water, it is almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Also, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

If perhaps you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained at once. And definitely be careful not to crank the engine - not even to relocate it off the pump. In case you did start the vehicle you would most likely need to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is certainly an important situation to address in a car - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Water in fuel will often result in idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not sorted out correctly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain in comparison with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can resolve both situations rather simply.

Bear in mind however that whenever the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or situated near to a car parking bay we can access the tanks and drain out the fuel. We have performed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Have an old fuel tank laying in the back of the garden with unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to numerous private and industrial properties in West Yorkshire to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or even numerous drums in a storage shed, providing we are able to get to it, we are able to empty it.

Run out of fuel in East Carlton (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a complete West Yorkshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to re-fill your car if you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home.
