It was after seven pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry night, it hadn't stopped raining! Mark and me were resting talking about the weekend's sports results, waiting around for the next job that day to arrive. Before long we received a phone call from a woman on a business trip who had pulled into the Esso filling station in Skelmanthorpe and put petrol in a diesel Nissan rental. The poor lady was very affected by the sounds of it, saying "I still can't believe that I have ruined the car! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol car I totally forgot that I was using a diesel!" I told her to relax and not to be concerned, and that these things happen. She managed to get the car to a secure position and, as it was no more than a few miles from the office, we could arrive at the customer fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to get back to the hotel she was living in. Even though we got very soaked, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive off calm and less concerned. A fuel drain in West Yorkshire well done in my books!

We can assist you with these mis-fuel problems.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout West Yorkshire we are identifying a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when somebody has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly a result of people not knowing the way to to make use of (important: it's not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly close to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what exactly is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing that the product is mainly deionised water, it is actually just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Additionally, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

If in case you put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And obviously never turn over the motor - not even to maneuver it from the pump. In cases where you have started the vehicle you may very likely have to have the full fuel system purged and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly an important situation to address in an automobile - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel can result in idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not dealt with properly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out than water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both cases rather easily.

Remember however that as long as the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be installed since the previous one will probably be wholly water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to a motor vehicle parking spot we are able to access the tanks and drain out the fuel. We have done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have a fuel reservoir at the back of the garden with unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous privately owned and industrial properties in West Yorkshire to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a few drums in a storage shed, as long as we are able to access it, we can empty it.
