It was just after six pm on a Friday and although we were promised a rainless day, it hadn't given up on raining! Ray and I were sitting there commenting on the recent tennis, ready for the seventh fuel drain that day to come in. Inevitably we had a phone call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had gone to the Sainsburys filling garage in Old Bramhope and filled petrol in her diesel Mitsubishi rental in error. She was rather affected it seemed, stating "I still can't believe I've messed up the vehicle! I'm so used to filling up my petrol car that I had didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" I just told her to settle back and not to fret, and also that such things regrettably happen. She was able to get the vehicle into a secure area and, seeing as it was just a short distance away from us, we could find the lady without delay. The bad fuel was removed so she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was lodging at. Even though we got pretty wet, it was all rewarding to watch her drive away relaxed and a lot less worried. A job in West Yorkshire well done in my mind!

This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue Contamination

All around West Yorkshire we are finding progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is mainly due to motorists not understanding how to use it (important: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right next to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what is the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Since AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Additionally, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

Phone us in the event that you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can easily fix every type of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important condition to handle in a car - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel tank may well trigger idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with correctly, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both situations very simply.

Bear in mind that if the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one will undoubtedly be completely wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to a vehicle parking bay we should be able to reach the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel container placed in the rear of the garden containing old, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several privately owned and business premises in West Yorkshire to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or even a few containers in a shed, providing we are able to access it, we can empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Old Bramhope (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a complete West Yorkshire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to re-fill the car in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at cost) and fill up your car. They can also fix the usual issues that can come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or maybe flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

His Ford engine had ceased functioning and he had no idea what was faulty right up until he noticed he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel car.
