It was close to 6 pm on a Wednesday and while we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Paul and me were relaxing there discussing the weekend's golf rankings, waiting around for the 8th fuel drain of the day to arrive. Before long we got a call from a woman on a company trip who had gone to the Esso petrol garage in Old Town and put petrol in a diesel Land Rover hire car. She was somewhat distressed by the sounds of it, saying "I can not believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I totally didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" We asked her to take it easy and not to fret, and that such things unfortunately do happen. She was able to get the car into a protected position and, seeing that it was only a few minutes away from the office, we could find her without delay. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could go home to the hotel she was living in. Even though we got fairly drenched, it was all worth it seeing her drive away calm and less concerned. One more fuel drain in East Riding of Yorkshire well done in my mind!

This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout East Riding of Yorkshire we have identified a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent as a result of drivers not understanding the right way to to make use of (pay attention: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right close to each other on the car.

Now, what exactly is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Because the product is mainly deionised water, it's just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Also, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it at the earliest opportunity. And most definitely take care not to switch on the motor - not even to move it from the pump. In case you did start the car you would almost certainly need to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant condition to take care of in an automobile - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel can contribute to idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not dealt with effectively, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both situations very easily.

You should know though that whenever the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one will be completely wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to a car parking bay we can access the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel reservoir lying in the rear of your garden full of aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several private and commercial properties in East Riding of Yorkshire to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps some drums in an outbuilding, providing we are able to get to it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Old Town (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a comprehensive East Riding of Yorkshire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to refill your automobile if you are stranded on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at pump prices) and fill up your vehicle. They will be able to deal with the standard issues which can come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or even dead batteries due to over-cranking.

A customer had conked out just off a street in Old Town. His Volvo car had ceased functioning and he had no idea what was the problem right up until he realised he put petrol in his diesel vehicle.

He claimed that he had got absolutely no rest the evening before and that could have been precisely why.
