It was just before ten pm on a Friday and while we were promised a dry evening, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ryan and I were sitting commenting on the weekend's tennis rankings, ready for the sixth job for the day to come in. Before long we received a call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had gone to the Texaco petrol station in Grovehill and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Volkswagen hire car in error. She was rather irritated apparently, crying "I simply cannot believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I had forgot that I was using a diesel!" I just told her to calm down and not to fret, plus that these things sadly happen. She managed to maneuver the car into a protected spot and, as it was no more than a short distance off from the office, we were able to arrive at the lady right away. The bad fuel was extracted and she could go home to the Travelodge she was staying at. Despite the fact we got extremely wet, it was all worth the time to see her drive home satisfied and less concerned. One more fuel drain in East Riding of Yorkshire well done in my books!

AdBlue Contamination

All over East Riding of Yorkshire we are encountering a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partially due to people not being totally sure how to use it (take note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right close to each other on the car.

Well, what exactly is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Since AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

If you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out immediately. And certainly be careful not to switch on the motor - not even to maneuver it into a parking place. If you have started the vehicle you would in all likelihood have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious matter to take care of in a car - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Water in your fuel may produce idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied properly, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can take care of both situations fairly expediently.

Bear in mind though that as long as the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will undoubtedly be completely wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to parking spot we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel tank placed at the back of your premises containing old, useless or degraded fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and industrial properties in East Riding of Yorkshire to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even numerous drums in a garage, providing we can reach it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Grovehill (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a full East Riding of Yorkshire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to refill your vehicle if you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at pump price) and refill your car or truck. They can also fix any of the typical problems which may come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to start, as well as flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Grovehill - Grovehill Petrol in Diesel

A gentleman phoned us from Grovehill saying he had stupidly pumped the wrong fuel in his diesel Lexus. "I can't believe it! I can't believe I put petrol in my lovely diesel car!" It only took the fuel drainer roughly 50 minutes to completely drain the contaminated fuel out of the car. He meticulously flushed the fuel lines, filter and pumps and then put fresh fuel in the vehicle. The customer was very pleased and it hadn't cost him dealer prices to get the task properly done.
