Here's a list of the incorrect fuel services we provide.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In West Yorkshire we have seen a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when an individual has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly caused by drivers being unsure of the way to use it (take note: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly near to one another on the automobile.

So, exactly what is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

Give us a call if you are suffering with AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to attend to different types of AdBlue contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, can be a significant issue to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Water in your fuel will often lead to idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out effectively, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of compared to water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to take care of both cases pretty quickly.

Take note that so long as the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to a motor vehicle parking spot we are able to reach the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank laying in the rear of your premises with old, useless or degraded fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and industrial premises in West Yorkshire for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even some containers in a shed, provided that we can reach it, we are able to empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Horsforth (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a full West Yorkshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to refill your vehicle any time you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at your home.

Fuel Rescue Horsforth - Horsforth Wrong Fuel Assist

I had a terrific evening hiking during my holiday and was feeling delighted with myself the next working day as I was on the way to assist a new couple who were on holiday in Horsforth. They'd pulled over after filling petrol in their Renault, and the car was roughly half an hour's drive away. I showed up at their location and smiled to myself while I heard to the gal berating her partner for being so foolish. "How could you conceivably be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she told him. I attempted to tell her that this situation happens quite frequently in West Yorkshire and that it is nothing to be concerned about, and yet he still got an earful. Unlucky guy. At any rate, I drained out the wrong fuel, flushed the engine and filled it up with the appropriate fuel. While watching them drive off I mouthed farewell and thought about what her indoors would do to me if ever I made the very same mistake... I'd under no circumstances hear the end of it!
