Here's a list of the wrong fuel services we deliver.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In West Yorkshire we are encountering an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination where a driver has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent stemming from drivers being unsure of the right way to to make use of (note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right close to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what's the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Also, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out asap. And definitely don't turn over the vehicle - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. In case you have started the vehicle you may in all probability have to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is certainly a significant issue to handle in an automobile - especially in current day common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel will often produce idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out fully, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove compared to water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to resolve both cases very swiftly.

Be aware though that if the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. Providing the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to a car or truck parking spot we will be able to gain access to the storage and drain out the fuel. We have succesfully done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel tank laying at the back of your premises with unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many private and business properties in West Yorkshire for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or even a number of drums in an outbuilding, provided that we are able to reach it, we can drain it for you.

We can easily help to refill your car any time you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump price) to refill your car or truck.

Wrong Fuel Drain Thornbury - Thornbury Fuel Drain

A gentleman had broken down just off a street in Thornbury. His Volkswagen motor had ceased operating and he had no clue what was the problem until he realised he had put petrol in his diesel car. He rang us to request a fuel drain and that is when he said to us: "I can not believe that I didn't realise that I had put the incorrect fuel in my vehicle." He claimed that he had got absolutely no rest the evening before and that must have been why.
