It was close to 10 pm on a Wednesday and while we were assured a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not ceased pouring! Dan and I were sitting discussing the sports rankings, at the ready for the sixth call to come in. In due time we got a phone call from a woman on a company excursion who had pulled into the Tesco petrol station in Crackenedge and filled petrol in a diesel Porsche hire car by mistake. She was somewhat affected it seemed, telling me "I can't believe I have destroyed the car! I am so used to putting petrol in my petrol car that I had forgot that I was operating a diesel!" I just advised her to settle back and not to fret, and that these things unfortunately happen. She managed to move the vehicle to a protected spot and, seeing as it was only a few miles from us, we could arrive at the lady almost instantly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could go home to the motel she was staying in. Even though we got very drenched, it was all worth the time to see her drive home calm and less anxious. Another job in West Yorkshire done well in my mind!

AdBlue In Diesel

All over West Yorkshire we are noticing increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is mainly a result of motorists not being totally sure the way to use it (please note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

So, what exactly is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Since AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Also, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

If in case you put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it drained right away. And most certainly do not start the motor - not even to maneuver it into a parking spot. In case you did start the car you will in all likelihood need to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a significant issue to deal with in an automobile - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel tank may well trigger idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed fully, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out as compared with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both situations quite simply.

You should know though that if the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one is going to be totally wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we will be able to access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've carried out numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir sitting at the rear of the garden with out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of privately owned and industrial premises in West Yorkshire to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a number of containers in a storage shed, as long as we are able to reach it, we could certainly drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Crackenedge (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a full West Yorkshire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to refill the car in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at pump prices) and fill up your car. They can also handle any of the usual troubles which can go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

A motorist had stopped near a street in Crackenedge. His Skoda car had ceased functioning and he'd no idea what was the problem till he noticed he had put unleaded in his diesel vehicle. He rang us to get a fuel drain and that is when he explained to us: "I can't believe that I did not know that I had put the incorrect fuel in my car." He stated that he had gotten virtually no sleep the evening before and that could have been precisely why.
