It was after 9 pm on a Monday and even though we were guaranteed a dry day, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Brian and I were relaxing talking over the recent tennis, waiting around for the next call of the day to arrive. In due time we got the phone call from a young lady on a company excursion who had gone to the Tesco filling garage in Castleford and filled petrol in her diesel Dacia hire car by mistake. The poor lady was very troubled by the sounds of it, saying "I simply cannot believe that I have wrecked the car! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I had did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I asked her to settle back and not to fret, and that things like this unfortunately often happen. She was able to get the car into a protected spot and, seeing that it was no more than a few miles off from our van, we were able to find the customer rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to return to the motel she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got pretty drenched, it was all worth the time to see her drive off relaxed and not so stressed. One more fuel drain in West Yorkshire well done in my mind!

We can assist you with these mis-fuel problems.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In West Yorkshire we are finding an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination when someone has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to a degree stemming from drivers not knowing how to work with it (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly near to each other on the car.

Now, what's the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Since the product is mostly deionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Apart from this, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you put AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And definitely don't crank the car - not even to move it off of the pump. In cases where you have started the vehicle you would in all likelihood need to have the whole fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is definitely an important issue to take care of in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in your diesel or petrol may trigger idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with correctly, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can deal with both circumstances rather expediently.

Keep in mind that so long as the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter to be installed because the previous one will probably be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. So long as the boat is either on land, or moored near to a motor vehicle parking bay we should be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We've carried out many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container lying at the rear of your premises full of unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many privately owned and industrial properties in West Yorkshire for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even some drums in a shed, if we can get to it, we are able to drain it.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Castleford (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a comprehensive West Yorkshire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to fill up your automobile in cases where you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) and fill up the car. They will take care of the usual issues which might accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe flat batteries due to over-cranking.
