It was before five pm on a Thursday and although we were guaranteed a dry night, it hadn't stopped raining! Brian and me were resting there discussing the tennis rankings, ready for the sixth telephone call for the day to arrive. Finally we received the call from a woman on a company excursion who had arrived at the Shell filling garage in Peas Acre and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Toyota hire car. The poor thing was pretty troubled it seemed, crying "I simply cannot believe I've destroyed the car! I am just so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle I completely didn't remember I was running a diesel!" I asked her to relax and not to worry, and that things like this sadly do happen. She was able to maneuver the car into a safe space and, since it was no more than a few minutes away from our van, we could get to the customer rather quickly. The wrong fuel was extracted so she could go home to the Premier Inn she was lodging in. Even though we got very wet, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive home contented and much less worried. Another fuel drain in West Yorkshire well done in my mind!

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout West Yorkshire we are noticing progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is in part a result of drivers not understanding how to work with it (pay attention: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right next to one another on the car.

So, exactly what is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition to this, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

In case you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it at once. And most definitely do not turn over the vehicle - not even to relocate it off of the pump. Assuming you have started the car you may very likely have to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, can be a significant matter to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water inside your fuel tank may contribute to idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of fully, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. However we are able to take care of both circumstances very simply.

Be aware that any time the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or situated near to a vehicle parking bay we can reach the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel reservoir laying in the back of the garden with old, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of private and commercial premises in West Yorkshire to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps a few containers in an outbuilding, provided that we can access it, we can empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Peas Acre (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a complete West Yorkshire Out of Fuel Service. We will help to refill your automobile in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at pump price) and fill the car. They are also able to handle the common problems which could go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
