It was around 7 pm on a Saturday and even though we were promised a rainless afternoon, it hadn't given up on raining! Paul and me were seated there talking over the football results, waiting for the next telephone call that day to arrive. Eventually we received the call from a woman on a company expedition who had arrived at the Esso petrol station in Brackenhall and filled petrol in a diesel SEAT rental by mistake. The unfortunate lady was rather agitated by the sounds of it, saying "I simply cannot believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car I had forgot that I was driving a diesel!" We told her to relax and not to be concerned, plus that these things unfortunately can happen. She managed to move the car into a protected space and, as it was just a few minutes away from us, we were able to find the woman rather quickly. The wrong fuel was removed and she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was living at. Even though we got pretty soaked, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive away contented and much less apprehensive. One more fuel drain in West Yorkshire done well in my mind!

Wrong Fuel SoS' experienced technicians are available 24 hours a day. Just call our emergency number and someone will come to you, flush the contaminated fuel and get you quickly back on your way.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout West Yorkshire we have found a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination where somebody has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is in part thanks to motorists not being aware of the way to work with it (be aware: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly close to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what's the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing as AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Also, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it as quickly as possible. And most definitely don't crank the car - not even to move it to a parking spot. In cases where you have started the car you would probably need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant issue to address in a vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your fuel is going to bring about idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed properly, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove in comparison with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to handle both situations very expediently.

Bear in mind though that whenever the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to a car parking bay we are able to reach the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We've succesfully done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir in the back of your premises full of unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several private and business properties in West Yorkshire to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or even numerous containers in a shed, providing we can get to it, we can certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Brackenhall (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a comprehensive West Yorkshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can help to refill your automobile in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) to fill up your vehicle. They will fix the normal troubles that might accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Brackenhall - Brackenhall Vehicle Misfuel

I'd had a perfect day fishing on my off day and felt cheerful the following morning as I was on the way to aid a young family who were on holiday in Brackenhall. They conked out after inserting diesel into their Ford, and they were around half an hour away. I turned up at their location and smirked as I heard to the gal telling off her spouse for turning out to be so daft. "Precisely how could you possibly be able to fill the car up with the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I wanted to explain that this kind of thing comes to pass all the time in West Yorkshire and that it is nothing at all to get worried about, even so he in spite of everything had an earful by his better half. Unlucky boy. At any rate, I removed all of the polluted fuel, flushed the motor and filled them up with the right fuel. While watching them drive down the road I waved so long and thought about what her indoors would do to me in the event that I did the very same thing... I'd personally under no circumstances live it down!
