It was just before 8 pm on a Tuesday and although we were promised a rainless night, it had not stopped raining! Brian and I were sitting there talking over the recent rugby rankings, ready for the seventh telephone call that day to arrive. Finally we received a call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had gone to the Tesco filling station in Green Side and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Lexus lease car in error. The unfortunate lady was pretty agitated it seemed, saying "I just can't believe that I have ruined the vehicle! I'm just so used to putting petrol in my petrol car that I totally did not remember I was using a diesel!" I just advised her to take it easy and not to fret, also that such things do happen. She managed to move the vehicle to a protected position and, as it was only a short distance away from us, we could reach her rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was removed and she was able to once again go back to the motel she was lodging at. Although we got extremely wet, it was all worth the time to watch her drive off contented and less stressed. Another misfuel correction in West Yorkshire well done in my mind!

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout West Yorkshire we have found a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination where someone has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent as a result of people not understanding the right way to work with it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually right close to one another on the vehicle.

So, what exactly is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel car? As the product is primarily deionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Apart from this, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And most certainly don't crank the engine - not even to shift it from the pump. In case you did start the car you would likely need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant matter to handle in an automobile - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Water in your fuel will produce idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied properly, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain compared to water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both cases very quickly.

Bear in mind though that if the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will probably be completely water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to a car or truck parking bay we can access the storage and drain out the fuel. We've succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got an old fuel reservoir lying at the back of your garden with aged, useless or degraded fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many privately owned and business premises in West Yorkshire for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or even some containers in a storage shed, provided that we can access it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Green Side (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a complete West Yorkshire Out of Fuel Service. We can help to refill your vehicle any time you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) and fill up the car. They will be able to take care of the typical issues which could go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, and even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.
