It was about 10 pm on a Friday and while we were promised a dry day, it hadn't stopped raining! Mark and I were resting discussing the tennis results, ready for the 6th telephone call of the day to come in. Inevitably we got the phone call from a girl on a business trip who had pulled into the Shell filling garage in Lockwood and put petrol in a diesel Skoda rental car by mistake. She was fairly troubled apparently, crying "I can not believe that I have ruined the car! I am so familiar with filling my petrol car I completely forgot I was driving a diesel!" I instructed her to settle back and not to worry, also that these things can happen. She had managed to move the car into a safe spot and, as it was just a few minutes off from where we were, we were able to reach the woman almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was removed and she could get back to the Travelodge she was staying in. Even though we got fairly soaked, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive away relaxed and less concerned. A misfuel correction in West Yorkshire done well in my opinion!

Here are the top services we offer to our customers.
AdBlue In Diesel
All over West Yorkshire we are noticing more and more instances of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially caused by people not being aware of how to use it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right adjacent to one another on the automobile.
Well, what's the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? As the product is mainly deionised water, it is like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Moreover, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.
If perhaps you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it asap. And obviously be careful not to start the car - not even to move it from the pump. In cases where you have started the vehicle you would almost certainly need to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.
Fuel contaminated with water
Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant situation to deal with in a vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Having water in fuel can bring about idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of correctly, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we can resolve both cases quite simply.
Take note though that if the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will likely be thoroughly wet and ineffective.
Motorboat Fuel Drains
If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to parking spot we can gain access to the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have carried out quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}
Management of Waste Fuel
Have an old fuel container lying in the rear of your garden full of unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many privately owned and commercial premises in West Yorkshire to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even a number of drums in a storage shed, assuming that we can reach it, we can drain it.
Out of Fuel Service
Out of fuel in Lockwood (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a complete West Yorkshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to fill up your car any time you are stranded on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) and refill your car. They are also able to fix the typical problems which can go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or maybe flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

I had a great day fishing during my day off and felt pleased the following morning as I set off to help a young family on vacation in Lockwood. They'd broken down after filling diesel in their Audi, and they were around an hour's drive away. I turned up at their car and laughed to myself while I listened to the woman telling off her partner for being so stupid. "How could you even find a way to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she said to him. I attempted to tell her that this situation takes place on a regular basis in West Yorkshire and that it is nothing to be concerned about, and yet he still had an ear bashing. Poor boy. At any rate, I extracted all the wrong fuel, flushed the engine and gave them some right fuel. Watching them drive away I waved goodbye and pondered on what my missus would do to me if I did the exact same thing... I'd never ever hear the end of it!

Recent Fuel Drains in Lockwood
Some examples:
We received a call from a man who put the incorrect fuel in his BMW in Lockwood. He had come to a stand-still on the street. "After adding unleaded in my diesel car I didn't discover the dilemma before we broke down. You took the wrong fuel from my car and got it running once again. I was amazed due to both your speed and your price". It goes without saying that we were on-scene promptly and purged the engine after draining the petrol from the diesel tank. On arrival the engineer said the client was fuming, but was pretty happy when we finished.
Wrong Fuel in Car Lockwood - Lockwood Petrol in Diesel
This really was what is called the night shift. It was close to 3 in the morning and hardly anyone was stirring. It was pretty dead so far, and me and John were relaxing reading through some old articles. This was a rare peaceful hour in West Yorkshire. It was in fact so peaceful that the instant the phone ultimately rang it made me start! The motorist stated: "I have concluded my evening shift and stupidly poured the wrong fuel in a diesel Honda". I told him to let us know just where the vehicle was and we left, ending up in Lockwood not as much as 30 minutes later. The contaminated fuel was extracted from the motor. He thanked us profusely for getting there so fast. While we were returning home we saw two girls at the side of the road who seemed like they suffered a flat. Accordingly we pulled over to change it, to their elation.
