Wrong Fuel in Car Greengates, West Yorkshire

Services Our Company Offers:

Below are the top services we provide to our customers.

AdBlue Contamination

In West Yorkshire we have encountered increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree a result of motorists not being aware of how to work with it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right near to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what is the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel car? As the product is predominantly deionised water, it is just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

If in case you put AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it asap. And certainly don't switch on the engine - not even to move it off the pump. Assuming you did start the vehicle you may most likely have to have the whole fuel system purged and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is without question a serious situation to deal with in a vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Water in your petrol or diesel will often bring about idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not dealt with effectively, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain compared to water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can resolve both cases quite easily.

Bear in mind that so long as the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one is going to be wholly wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we can access the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've performed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir sitting at the back of your garden full of old, useless or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several private and industrial properties in West Yorkshire to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even some drums in a storage shed, provided that we are able to access it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Greengates (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a full West Yorkshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to refill the car in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at pump prices) and fill your car. They are also able to take care of the typical troubles that may accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Greengates - Greengates Fuel Removal

A man had stopped off a street in Greengates. His MINI car had ceased running and he'd no idea what was faulty right up until he realised he put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle. He rang us to get a fuel drain and it was then when he told us: "I can't believe that I did not detect that I put the wrong fuel in my vehicle." He said that he had gotten very little sleep the evening before and that could have been the reason why.

Recent Fuel Drains in Greengates

Some of the typical things we get from many of our technicians in Greengates:

We did a wrong fuel retrieval job on the drive of a spectacular house in Greengates a few weeks ago. "I put unleaded in my diesel car and was able to more or less get home when my car broke down." Our specialist went out, despite the fact that it was rather late at night, and carried out a thorough fuel drain and purge on the Mercedes to everyone's satisfaction.

Wrong Fuel Greengates - Greengates Wrong Fuel Drain

A young lady working in Greengates contacted us after she tried to get her misfueled vehicle to her office. She had put the wrong fuel in her diesel MINI and, like many prior to her, believed that she would be able to basically fill her car with diesel and it'd run no problem. The vehicle was spluttering and then it stopped when she got to the entrance of her office. We quickly went to work on the fuel drain following her call and had it fixed inside 60 minutes whilst she was working. She came outside when we finished and thanked us stating, "I'm really relieved you repaired my car."
