It was just after 8 pm on a Tuesday and though we were promised a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Brian and me were sitting there talking about the weekend's sports results, ready for the 8th call that day to come in. Before long we received the call from a lady on a company excursion who had arrived at the Esso petrol garage in Methley Junction and put the wrong fuel in a diesel MINI rental by mistake. She was rather agitated it seemed, crying "I just can't believe I have ruined the vehicle! I am just so used to filling up my petrol car that I completely didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" I just told her to take it easy and not to worry, and also that these things regrettably happen. She was able to maneuver the car to a safe spot and, as it was only a few miles away from the office, we could reach the lady rather quickly. The bad fuel was drained and she could go home to the motel she was staying at. Despite the fact we got pretty soaked, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive away calm and not so worried. Another misfuel correction in West Yorkshire well done in my opinion!

Our Areas of Competency :

Here is a list of the incorrect fuel services we offer.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout West Yorkshire we have encountered an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination when an individual has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is in part a result of motorists not knowing the way to use it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly next to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what's the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it's just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Also, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

In case you put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained immediately. And most definitely do not turn over the car - not even to move it from the pump. If perhaps you did start the car you will very likely have to have the full fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a significant matter to address in a car - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel tank is going to contribute to idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed properly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain as compared to water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can solve both cases very easily.

Remember though that whenever the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will probably be completely wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we are able to access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel container lying in the back of the garden containing out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of private and commercial properties in West Yorkshire to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a few containers in an outbuilding, assuming that we are able to access it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Methley Junction (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a complete West Yorkshire Out of Fuel Service. We can come to fill up your vehicle in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at cost) to fill your car. They can also handle any of the standard issues which might accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Methley Junction - Methley Junction Wrong Fuel Doctor

A person phoned us from his place on a road in Methley Junction. He explained, "My car (a Mazda) is not starting up and is making terrible sounds when I turn the key." He admitted that he had put unleaded in his diesel vehicle but then reckoned he would remedy the problem by putting extra Diesel on top. We got there quickly, performed the drain and filled it up once again with clean Diesel. He said after that he'd be certain to inform people not to fill up in addition to the wrong fuel but to have it drained promptly.
