It was after ten pm on a Saturday and although we were assured a dry and fresh night, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Paul and me were sitting talking about the recent footy rankings, prepared for the sixth job that day to arrive. Inevitably we got a phone call from a girl on a business trip who had gone to the BP petrol station in Gipton and put petrol in a diesel Jaguar lease car. She was pretty irritated it seemed, telling me "I can not believe that I have ruined the car! I am just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I had forgot that I was using a diesel!" I instructed her to settle back and not to fret, plus that things like this unfortunately can happen. She was able to relocate the car to a protected position and, because it was no more than a short distance off from our van, we could reach her without delay. The bad fuel was drained so she could return to the Premier Inn she was living at. Even though we got pretty drenched, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive home calm and much less concerned. One more fuel drain in West Yorkshire done well in my books!

Our Services:

Here is a list of the wrong fuel services we provide.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In West Yorkshire we are finding increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is in part stemming from drivers not being totally sure the right way to work with it (note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right near to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what is the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? As the product is mainly deionised water, it is as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Additionally, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

Phone us if you are struggling with AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and have the ability to attend to all kinds of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a significant issue to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water in fuel can certainly cause idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied effectively, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove than water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both cases pretty quickly.

Be aware however that if the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the previous one is going to be totally wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Providing the boat is either on land, or parked close to a car parking bay we will be able to access the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel container placed at the rear of your garden containing aged, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and business premises in West Yorkshire to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps a few drums in a shed, as long as we can get to it, we could certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Gipton (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a comprehensive West Yorkshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to refill the car any time you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump price) and refill your car or truck. They will be able to fix any of the most common troubles which can accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or maybe dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
