It was after 7 pm on a Tuesday and even though we were assured a dry evening, it hadn't ceased pouring! Ryan and I were relaxing there talking about the weekend's tennis results, prepared for the sixth fuel drain to come in. Finally we had a phone call from a lady on a business trip who had pulled into the Sainsburys filling station in Walton and put the wrong fuel in her diesel BMW hire car. The unfortunate thing was fairly distressed apparently, stating "I cannot believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember that I was using a diesel!" We told her to relax and not to fret, also that such things sadly happen. She managed to move the vehicle to a protected spot and, as it was only a few miles off from us, we were able to arrive at her rather quickly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could return to the Premier Inn she was residing in.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout West Yorkshire we are discovering an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to some extent thanks to people being unsure of how to to make use of (be aware: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly next to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what exactly is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Moreover, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If you put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And definitely be careful not to turn over the vehicle - not even to shift it from the pump. In cases where you have started the car you may almost certainly have to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, can be a significant matter to deal with in an automobile - especially in modern common-rail engines. Having water in your diesel or petrol will often bring about idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of fully, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out as compared with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can resolve both situations pretty quickly.

Take note though that as long as the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or secured close to a car or truck parking bay we are able to access the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel container sitting in the back of your premises full of unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of privately owned and commercial premises in West Yorkshire to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even numerous drums in an outbuilding, if we are able to reach it, we can certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Walton (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a comprehensive West Yorkshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to fill up your car in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at pump price) and fill your car. They will be able to deal with the usual troubles which may go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Walton - Walton Wrong Fuel

A week ago a motorist called us just after his Lexus cut out along a road in Walton. He had inadvertently put the incorrect fuel in the diesel motor and got so far as the street before needing to halt. It was still in the early hours of the morning and our fuel drainer, who stays not far away, got to him in approximately 20 minutes. We were able to remove the incorrect fuel and put clean diesel once again in the vehicle. "Sincere thanks to you for your immediate response, especially at 5 a.m., I genuinely am grateful for it."
