It was just after 6 pm on a Saturday and even though we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it had not given up on raining! Ray and I were relaxing talking over the football results, ready for the seventh job of the day to come in. In due time we got the phone call from a girl on a company excursion who had arrived at the Shell petrol station in Snow Lea and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Renault hire car by mistake. The poor lady was quite affected by the sounds of it, saying "I simply can't believe I have wrecked the car! I am so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car I had didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" I just told her to calm down and not to be concerned, also that such things regrettably happen. She managed to get the vehicle into a safe area and, seeing as it was no more than a few minutes from where we were, we could reach the woman right away.

Services We Provide:

Below are our top services we deliver to our clients.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In West Yorkshire we have encountered increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree thanks to people not knowing the way to use it (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually right adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

Now, exactly what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Apart from this, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

Assuming you put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained as quickly as possible. And absolutely don't crank the car - not even to relocate it to a parking place. If you have started the vehicle you may probably need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is usually a serious issue to address in a vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel can lead to idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied properly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to solve both situations quite expediently.

You should know that so long as the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter to be installed as the old one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Providing the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to an automobile parking spot we can gain access to the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've carried out many fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel reservoir laying in the rear of your garden full of aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many private and industrial premises in West Yorkshire for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or possibly even a number of drums in an outbuilding, provided that we can access it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Snow Lea (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a full West Yorkshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to re-fill your car if you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at cost) and fill up your car or truck. They will be able to deal with the common problems that can accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to start, and even flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Snow Lea - Snow Lea Petrol in Diesel

A guy had broken down just off a road in Snow Lea. His Land Rover engine had ceased operating and he'd no idea what was awry till he noticed he put the wrong fuel in his diesel car. He phoned us to request a fuel drain and it was then when he explained to us: "I can not believe that I didn't detect that I had put the wrong fuel in my car." He said that he had got zero rest the night before and that must have been the reason.
