We're only a call away.

It was just after eight pm on a Monday and although we were assured a rainless evening, it had not ceased raining! Paul and I were resting there talking over the rugby, waiting for the seventh call of the day to come in. Before long we had the call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had gone to the Esso filling station in Bracken Bank and filled petrol in a diesel Suzuki lease car in error. She was rather agitated by the sounds of it, stating "I can not believe I have ruined the car! I am just so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car I completely forgot I was driving a diesel!" I just asked her to settle back and not to worry, plus that things like this unfortunately happen. She managed to get the vehicle to a secure position and, because it was only a few minutes off from the office, we were able to reach the customer quickly. The contaminated fuel was removed so she could get back to the hotel she was staying at. Despite the fact we got extremely soaked, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive off calm and less concerned. Another misfuel correction in West Yorkshire well done in my books!

Our Areas of Expertise:

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout West Yorkshire we have identified a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree thanks to motorists not understanding the way to work with it (remember: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what exactly is the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Since the product is mostly ionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Apart from this, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

In case you put AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it right away. And definitely be careful not to crank the vehicle - not even to shift it away from the pump. In case you did start the vehicle you may in all likelihood have to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is certainly a significant condition to handle in an automobile - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Water in diesel or petrol can trigger idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of effectively, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can solve both circumstances rather quickly.

You should know though that in the event that the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one is going to be completely water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. Providing the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to an automobile parking bay we are able to gain access to the storage and remove the fuel. We have done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel container in the back of your premises with old, useless or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many private and industrial properties in West Yorkshire to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or even some containers in an outbuilding, assuming that we are able to access it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Bracken Bank (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a complete West Yorkshire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to refill your car in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at pump price) to refill your automobile. They can also handle any of the typical troubles that could accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, as well as dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Bracken Bank - Bracken Bank Vehicle Misfuel

A gentleman had conked out near a road in Bracken Bank. His BMW car had stopped running and he'd no idea what was faulty till he noticed he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel car. He phoned us to request a fuel drain and it was then when he said to us: "I can't believe that I did not realise that I put the incorrect fuel in my car." He claimed that he had gotten absolutely no rest the night before and that could have been the reason why.
