It was around five pm on a Tuesday and though we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Mark and I were sitting talking about the weekend's rugby, waiting for the 8th fuel drain to arrive. Eventually we had the call from a lady on a company expedition who had pulled into the Tesco filling garage in Glass Houghton and put the wrong fuel in a diesel BMW rental by mistake. The unfortunate lady was fairly irritated it seemed, saying "I simply cannot believe I have wrecked the car! I am so used to filling my petrol car I totally forgot I was running a diesel!" We told her to settle back and not to be concerned, also that things like this unfortunately can happen. She had managed to relocate the car to a protected position and, seeing that it was just a short distance from the office, we could find the woman quickly. The bad fuel was extracted so she was able to go home to the motel she was lodging in. Despite the fact we got fairly soaked, it was all worth it to watch her drive home satisfied and a lot less worried. One more job in West Yorkshire done well in my books!

Our Areas of Expertise :

Listed below are our top services we give to our customers.

AdBlue In Diesel

In West Yorkshire we are encountering more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to a degree caused by people not being totally sure the way to use it (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right close to each other on the car.

Well, what is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Since AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is actually just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

In case you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it asap. And most definitely never switch on the vehicle - not even to shift it to a parking place. Assuming you did start the vehicle you would very likely have to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is without question an important situation to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel is going to bring about idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not addressed effectively, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove as compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to solve both circumstances quite quickly.

Take note that as long as the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter to be installed because the previous one will be wholly wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to a motor vehicle parking bay we will be able to gain access to the tanks and remove the fuel. We've succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got an old fuel tank lying at the back of your premises with unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several private and business properties in West Yorkshire for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps several containers in a garage, as long as we are able to reach it, we can empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Glass Houghton (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a comprehensive West Yorkshire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to fill up your car in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) to fill up your car. They will be able to fix the standard problems that may accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, and even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
