It was just before 7 pm on a Thursday and although we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it had not stopped pouring! Brian and I were resting there discussing the recent golf, ready for the sixth telephone call of the day to arrive. Inevitably we had a phone call from a girl on a business trip who had gone to the BP filling garage in Oakworth and put petrol in a diesel BMW hire car by mistake. The poor thing was fairly agitated it seemed, telling me "I can't believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle that I totally did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I told her to relax and not to fret, plus that these things sadly happen. She had managed to move the car to a safe space and, seeing that it was just a few miles from the office, we could reach the lady fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to return to the motel she was living in. Although we got very soaked, it was all worth the time seeing her drive away relaxed and a lot less stressed. Yet another job in West Yorkshire well done in my books!

We are ready to take the wrong fuel job.

AdBlue Contamination

How to handle it in the event that you may have poured Adblue in a Diesel fuel tank? Adblue is definitely disastrous to your vehicle's fuel system, particularly if you started the car with Adblue in your diesel fuel tank. Whenever the engine has been switched on the Adblue will be dragged into your fuel lines and will swiftly begin to crystalise, resulting in devastating and expensive damage to your car's fuel system.

If you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out immediately. And certainly never start the engine - not even to move it from the pump. In cases where you did start the vehicle you will most likely have to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is certainly a significant matter to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel tank can lead to idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with effectively, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove compared to water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to solve both cases pretty swiftly.

Bear in mind that if the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one is going to be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you have the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. As long as the boat is either on land, or situated near to an automobile parking spot we are able to gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've completed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir in the back of your garden containing aged, useless or degraded fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few private and industrial premises in West Yorkshire for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a number of drums in a garage, if we can get to it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Oakworth (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a comprehensive West Yorkshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to refill the car if you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at cost) and refill your car or truck. They can also deal with the common problems which could go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.
