It was before seven pm on a Tuesday and even though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't ceased pouring! Mark and I were seated there commenting on the golf rankings, ready for the sixth fuel drain that day to arrive. In due time we received the phone call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling station in Hartshead Moor and put petrol in a diesel Mercedes rental car. She was rather agitated apparently, saying "I cannot believe I've messed up the car! I'm so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car that I had did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I told her to settle back and not to fret, and that things like this unfortunately often happen. She managed to get the car into a protected space and, seeing as it was only a short distance away from our van, we could get to the customer rather quickly. The wrong fuel was removed so she could go home to the Travelodge she was residing at. Despite the fact that we got really drenched, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive home contented and a lot less concerned. Yet another fuel drain in West Yorkshire well done in my mind!

Do you or your drivers frequently misfuel your car? We can fix any associated problems.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout West Yorkshire we are discovering a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination when somebody has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to a degree thanks to drivers not knowing the way to work with it (note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right adjacent to each other on the car.

So, what's the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Since AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Furthermore, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

If perhaps you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it right away. And definitely never start the car - not even to shift it to a parking area. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you would most likely have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant issue to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Having water in fuel tank can lead to idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with correctly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of than water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to take care of both circumstances quite expediently.

Keep in mind that so long as the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will probably be completely water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to a car or truck parking bay we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container placed in the rear of your premises full of aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many privately owned and industrial premises in West Yorkshire to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a few containers in a shed, provided that we are able to access it, we can drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Hartshead Moor (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a comprehensive West Yorkshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to re-fill your vehicle any time you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) and fill your vehicle. They are also able to handle any of the standard problems which might go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even dead batteries due to over-cranking.
