It was about 10 pm on a Friday and though we were promised a rainless night, it had not stopped raining! Paul and I were sitting there going over the weekend's football rankings, at the ready for the 6th telephone call for the day to arrive. Before long we received the call from a woman on a company excursion who had arrived at the Texaco filling station in Crofton and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Toyota hire car by mistake. The poor lady was quite affected it seemed, saying "I still can't believe that I've destroyed the car! I am just so used to putting petrol in my petrol car that I totally did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I just advised her to take it easy and not to worry, plus that such things often happen. She had managed to move the car into a secure spot and, since it was only a few minutes away from us, we were able to get to the customer without delay. The wrong fuel was taken out and she could return to the motel she was staying at. Even though we got extremely drenched, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive away contented and a lot less worried. Yet another fuel drain in West Yorkshire well done in my mind!

AdBlue Contamination

All over West Yorkshire we have encountered a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination where somebody has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly a result of motorists not being aware of the way to work with it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually right close to one another on the automobile.

Now, exactly what is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it's just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Additionally, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you find yourself in this predicament do not panic! Contact us, the UK?s Premium fuel contamination company. Our engineers have the practical skills and working experience to have you back on the road swiftly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is actually a significant issue to deal with in a car - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Water in fuel tank will often result in idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with properly, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain than water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to take care of both circumstances pretty quickly.

Remember though that whenever the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the old one is going to be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to parking bay we are able to reach the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've performed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}
