It was after five pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were assured a rainless night, it hadn't stopped raining! Brian and me were relaxing discussing the weekend's rugby, waiting around for the 6th fuel drain that day to come in. Before long we received the call from a girl on a company excursion who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol garage in Lower Fagley and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Audi rental. She was quite agitated it seemed, stating "I just can't believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm so used to filling up my petrol car I had didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I just told her to calm down and not to worry, plus that things like this sadly often happen. She was able to move the car into a protected spot and, since it was no more than a short distance off from our van, we could get to the customer right away. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was living in. Despite the fact that we got very drenched, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive off calm and a lot less apprehensive. One more fuel drain in West Yorkshire well done in my opinion!

AdBlue Contamination

All over West Yorkshire we have discovered progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent a result of motorists not understanding the right way to use it (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly next to one another on the automobile.

So, what is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Because the product is mainly ionised water, it is actually like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Moreover, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And definitely be careful not to start up the engine - not even to maneuver it from the pump. In cases where you did start the car you would probably need to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely an important issue to deal with in a car - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel tank is going to contribute to idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied fully, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain compared to water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both cases fairly easily.

Take note though that as long as the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one is going to be wholly wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to a car parking spot we should be able to reach the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've performed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel reservoir at the rear of your garden full of aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several private and commercial premises in West Yorkshire to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a number of drums in an outbuilding, providing we can reach it, we can drain it.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Lower Fagley (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a full West Yorkshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will come to refill the car if you are stranded on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump price) to refill your car. They are also able to handle the normal issues that may go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or maybe dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
