If you've put the incorrect fuel in your car in Ryecroft (petrol in diesel Ryecroft) we are the people you need to call. We assist the whole of the Ryecroft area and all surrounding counties.

It was around 10 pm on a Tuesday and while we were guaranteed a dry evening, it had not ceased raining! Brian and I were sitting discussing the sports rankings, at the ready for the seventh fuel drain to arrive. Inevitably we received a call from a young lady on a business excursion who had gone to the Texaco filling station in Ryecroft and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Mercedes rental in error. The unfortunate lady was pretty agitated by the sounds of it, saying "I can't believe that I have destroyed the car! I am just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I totally did not remember I was running a diesel!" I just instructed her to settle back and not to worry, also that such things unfortunately do happen. She had managed to get the vehicle to a secure area and, because it was just a few minutes from us, we could get to the customer rather quickly. The wrong fuel was removed so she could go home to the Premier Inn she was living in. Despite the fact that we got fairly soaked, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive away calm and much less worried. Another job in West Yorkshire well done in my mind!

Here are the top services we give to our clients.

AdBlue Contamination

All over West Yorkshire we have noticed an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination where a person has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to some extent stemming from people being unsure of how to to make use of (pay attention: it's actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right close to each other on the vehicle.

So, what exactly is the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is actually just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

In case you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank get it out asap. And certainly take care not to start up the engine - not even to maneuver it to a parking place. If you did start the vehicle you may very likely need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually an important issue to deal with in an automobile - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Water inside your petrol or diesel may well bring about idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with correctly, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain in comparison with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both situations pretty swiftly.

Be aware however that whenever the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to an automobile parking bay we are able to gain access to the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have carried out quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel reservoir placed in the back of your premises containing old, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and commercial properties in West Yorkshire for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a number of containers in a storage shed, providing we can reach it, we can empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Ryecroft (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a complete West Yorkshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to fill up your vehicle if you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) and fill your vehicle. They will handle the usual troubles which may go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Fuel Removal Ryecroft - Ryecroft Vehicle Misfuel

A motorist had broken down off a street in Ryecroft. His Mitsubishi motor had stopped running and he had no clue what was awry till he realised he put petrol in his diesel vehicle. He contacted us to request a fuel drain and that's when he explained to us: "I can't believe that I did not detect that I put the incorrect fuel in my vehicle." He claimed that he had got zero rest the evening before and that must have been the reason.
