We can help you with these mis-fuel problems.

AdBlue In Diesel

In West Yorkshire we have found a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent a result of people being unsure of the right way to work with it (be aware: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually right close to each other on the vehicle.

So, what exactly is the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? As the product is mostly deionised water, it's as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

In case you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And definitely don't switch on the motor - not even to move it off of the pump. In case you did start the car you would very likely need to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually a significant issue to address in an automobile - especially in current day common-rail engines. Having water in the petrol or diesel will often lead to idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of effectively, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both situations very easily.

Take note though that any time the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to a car parking spot we are able to gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We've undertaken numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

We've been called out to numerous privately owned and business premises in West Yorkshire to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or even a few containers in a shed, providing we can reach it, we can certainly drain it.

Out of fuel in Thornhill Lees (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a full West Yorkshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can come to refill your vehicle in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at home.
