It was close to 8 pm on a Thursday and although we were assured a rainless evening, it had not stopped raining! Paul and I were resting there discussing the weekend's footy rankings, at the ready for the 6th telephone call to arrive. Before long we received a call from a lady on a business trip who had gone to the Shell filling garage in Bridlington and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Land Rover rental car in error. She was pretty irritated apparently, stating "I can't believe that I've messed up the car! I am so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot I was using a diesel!" I just advised her to settle back and not to worry, and also that such things often happen. She managed to relocate the car into a protected spot and, seeing that it was no more than a short distance off from the office, we could get to her almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could get back to the Premier Inn she was staying in. Although we got pretty soaked, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive home relaxed and a lot less concerned. Another misfuel correction in East Riding of Yorkshire done well in my mind!

Do you or your employees frequently misfuel your vehicle? We can solve any associated problems.

AdBlue In Diesel

In East Riding of Yorkshire we are noticing a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is mainly caused by drivers not understanding how to work with it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly next to one another on the automobile.

So, what is the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? As AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Apart from this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

If you put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it drained as soon as possible. And most certainly never start the car - not even to maneuver it off of the pump. In the event that you did start the vehicle you will in all probability have to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious situation to address in a vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel will likely produce idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out properly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove as compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both cases very easily.

Take note however that any time the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the previous one will probably be totally water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you have the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to a car or truck parking bay we will be able to access the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We have carried out numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

We have been called out to numerous privately owned and industrial properties in East Riding of Yorkshire for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps some drums in a garage, if we can access it, we can drain it.
