It was around 7 pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry day, it hadn't given up on pouring! Ryan and I were relaxing talking about the weekend's tennis results, waiting for the next fuel drain to arrive. Before long we got the phone call from a lady on a business trip who had pulled into the Texaco petrol station in Thorp Arch and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Mitsubishi hire car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was pretty distressed by the sounds of it, saying "I cannot believe I've wrecked the car! I am just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car I completely did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just asked her to relax and not to fret, and that such things unfortunately can happen. She was able to move the car into a protected position and, since it was just a few minutes off from us, we were able to reach the woman rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got extremely wet, it was all worth the time to see her drive off calm and less apprehensive. Another job in West Yorkshire done well in my books!

Do you or your employees usually misfuel your vehicle? We can resolve any related problems.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout West Yorkshire we are identifying progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly as a consequence of drivers not understanding how to use it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly near to one another on the automobile.

Well, what is the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Since AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Apart from this, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

If in case you put AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And obviously never crank the motor - not even to move it to a parking spot. In the event that you have started the car you will most likely have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a significant situation to deal with in a vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water in the diesel or petrol will often cause idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied properly, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can solve both circumstances fairly quickly.

You should know that if the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one will undoubtedly be completely wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to parking spot we should be able to access the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've completed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel container sitting in the rear of your premises containing aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous privately owned and business properties in West Yorkshire for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps several drums in an outbuilding, assuming that we can reach it, we are able to empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Thorp Arch (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a comprehensive West Yorkshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to re-fill the car if you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) to fill up the car. They will be able to take care of the typical problems which can go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or even flat batteries due to over-cranking.
