It was just before eight pm on a Monday and even though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not ceased pouring down rain! Brian and I were relaxing discussing the rugby rankings, ready for the sixth fuel drain that day to arrive. Before long we got the call from a girl on a business trip who had arrived at the BP petrol garage in Southburn and put petrol in a diesel Porsche rental car. She was rather irritated apparently, saying "I cannot believe that I've messed up the car! I'm so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot I was operating a diesel!" I just told her to take it easy and not to be concerned, also that things like this regrettably can happen. She had managed to maneuver the car to a secure space and, seeing as it was no more than a few minutes off from our van, we could get to the customer fairly quickly. The bad fuel was drained and she could go home to the hotel she was living in. Even though we got fairly soaked, it was all worth the effort to see her drive off contented and much less concerned. Another fuel drain in East Riding of Yorkshire well done in my opinion!

AdBlue In your Fuel
Throughout East Riding of Yorkshire we have discovered progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly due to motorists not knowing the right way to use it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right adjacent to one another on the vehicle.
So, what's the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? As the product is mostly deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Additionally, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.
If you find you put AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it at once. And definitely never switch on the car - not even to relocate it away from the pump. If you did start the car you may almost certainly need to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.
Water contaminated fuel
Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious issue to take care of in an automobile - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Having water inside your petrol or diesel may cause idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of fully, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can solve both circumstances rather expediently.
You should know though that if ever the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will likely be completely wet and unusable.
Boat Fuel Drains
If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to a motor vehicle parking bay we are able to access the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We've carried out numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}
Waste Fuel Disposal
Have a fuel tank lying at the rear of the garden full of unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many private and business properties in East Riding of Yorkshire to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a few containers in an outbuilding, as long as we can access it, we are able to drain it.

Fuel Drain Southburn - Southburn Vehicle Misfuel
A driver from Southburn with a full car of youngsters in her diesel Porsche had filled her car with £40 of petrol at the Shell petrol station. She phoned us crying and very worried as she had never wrong fuelled and did not know what would happen to her vehicle because of it. We reassured her that the vehicle should be ok and that she would be back on the road in no time at all. When we arrived she was visible distressed but as our fuel drainer started work on the fuel drain she calmed down since she saw that help was at hand and her car wasn't ruined. She quickly brightened up and was on the road again saying, "I really can't believe my bad luck putting the wrong fuel in my car! Particularly with the little ones on board."
