It was around eight pm on a Saturday and while we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it hadn't given up on raining! Dan and I were resting there talking over the weekend's football rankings, at the ready for the next telephone call for the day to come in. Before long we got a phone call from a woman on a business trip who had pulled into the Texaco petrol garage in Sandygate and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Peugeot rental in error. The unfortunate thing was quite agitated by the sounds of it, crying "I can't believe I have ruined the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I had forgot that I was using a diesel!" I told her to take it easy and not to fret, also that such things unfortunately often happen. She managed to get the vehicle into a protected position and, seeing that it was only a few miles away from our van, we were able to reach her rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was removed and she could get back to the motel she was living at. Even though we got extremely soaked, it was all worth the time to see her drive home calm and less concerned. A fuel drain in South Yorkshire done well in my opinion!

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout South Yorkshire we are noticing an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination where a person has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part caused by drivers not being totally sure the right way to to make use of (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right close to one another on the car.

Well, what's the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Since AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it's almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Moreover, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And absolutely never crank the vehicle - not even to move it to a parking spot. Assuming you have started the car you may probably need to have the whole fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, is actually an important issue to deal with in a car - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Water in fuel tank may well produce idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out effectively, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain as compared with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to solve both situations fairly quickly.

Be aware though that in the event that the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one will likely be totally water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to an automobile parking bay we are able to access the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have completed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

We have been called out to several privately owned and business premises in South Yorkshire for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages.

Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even several containers in an outbuilding, providing we are able to get to it, we are able to drain it for you.
