It was before 6 pm on a Saturday and even though we were promised a rainless day, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Brian and me were resting there commenting on the recent sports, waiting around for the next job that day to arrive. Before long we received a call from a lady on a business expedition who had gone to the Texaco filling garage in Dockroyd and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Hyundai lease car in error. The unfortunate lady was somewhat troubled it seemed, telling me "I still cannot believe I have messed up the car! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol car I had did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I just advised her to settle back and not to worry, also that these things sadly can happen. She was able to get the vehicle to a secure spot and, since it was just a short distance away from our van, we could arrive at the lady quickly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could return to the Premier Inn she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got pretty wet, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive home contented and less concerned. A job in West Yorkshire done well in my opinion!

AdBlue Contamination

All over West Yorkshire we have noticed increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination when someone has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly as a result of people being unsure of the way to work with it (please note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partly because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right near to one another on the vehicle.

Well, precisely what is the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing that the product is primarily deionised water, it is actually just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water will not blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

In case you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it at once. And definitely do not start up the motor - not even to shift it into a parking spot. In case you have started the car you will likely have to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is generally a serious matter to address in a vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel tank will often cause idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of effectively, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can solve both situations quite quickly.

Remember though that any time the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will be completely water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to a car parking bay we are able to access the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank placed at the back of your garden with out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and commercial premises in West Yorkshire to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even numerous containers in an outbuilding, providing we can access it, we can certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Dockroyd (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a comprehensive West Yorkshire Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to refill your vehicle any time you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at pump prices) to fill your automobile. They will be able to fix the most common problems that can accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.
