It was after 7 pm on a Saturday and though we were guaranteed a rainless day, it had not stopped raining! Brian and me were seated there commenting on the weekend's sports, at the ready for the 6th telephone call that day to come in. Before long we received a call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had gone to the Esso filling station in Rothwell Haigh and put petrol in a diesel Citroen lease car by mistake. She was quite agitated it seemed, crying "I can't believe I've ruined the vehicle! I am just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car I had didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" I told her to calm down and not to be concerned, and that things like this regrettably often happen. She managed to move the car into a protected spot and, as it was only a few miles away from us, we could reach her without delay. The incorrect fuel was extracted so she could once again go back to the Travelodge she was living at. Even though we got really drenched, it was all worth the effort to see her drive off calm and less concerned. One more job in West Yorkshire done well in my mind!

AdBlue In Diesel

All over West Yorkshire we are identifying more and more instances of AdBlue contamination when somebody has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent a result of people not being totally sure the way to work with it (remember: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right next to each other on the vehicle.

Now, precisely what is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Also, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

Contact us if it turns out you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can easily take care of all kinds of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be an important situation to handle in a motor vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel tank will produce idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not dealt with correctly, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove when compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to handle both cases fairly expediently.

You should know however that if the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one is going to be thoroughly wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to a vehicle parking bay we can gain access to the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got an old fuel container placed at the rear of your premises full of old, useless or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several privately owned and business premises in West Yorkshire to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or possibly even numerous drums in a garage, as long as we can get to it, we are able to drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Rothwell Haigh (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a full West Yorkshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to fill up the car if you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at pump prices) and fill the car. They are also able to handle the usual issues that could go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or maybe flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Assist Rothwell Haigh - Rothwell Haigh Petrol in Diesel

A man called us from Rothwell Haigh to say he had pumped petrol in to his diesel Mazda. "Shocking! How could I put unleaded in my diesel car!" It took the technician about 50 minutes to fully drain the contaminated fuel out of the vehicle. He completely flushed the fuel system and after that put clean diesel in the car. The customer was thrilled and it didn't cost him dealer rates to have the work professionally performed.
