It was about 7 pm on a Friday and while we were assured a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! James and me were relaxing discussing the recent tennis rankings, at the ready for the 8th job to arrive. In due time we got a phone call from a lovely women on a business expedition who had gone to the Esso filling garage in Bramhope and filled petrol in her diesel MINI hire car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was fairly irritated by the sounds of it, telling me "I simply can't believe that I have ruined the car! I am just so used to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot I was running a diesel!" We asked her to settle back and not to fret, plus that these things sadly can happen. She was able to maneuver the car to a secure spot and, seeing as it was just a short distance off from us, we could find the woman right away. The contaminated fuel was drained so she could return to the Premier Inn she was living in. Even though we got really wet, it was all rewarding to watch her drive away relaxed and less concerned. Yet another fuel drain in West Yorkshire well done in my mind!

Our Services:

Here's a list of the wrong fuel services we give.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout West Yorkshire we have seen more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is mainly as a result of people not being totally sure the way to work with it (remember: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly near to one another on the car.

Well, what is the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Because the product is predominantly deionised water, it is actually just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

Contact us in the event that you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to fix all types of AdBlue contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is actually a significant situation to deal with in an automobile - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel can certainly produce idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied correctly, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove as compared to water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to handle both circumstances fairly easily.

Bear in mind however that if the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one is going to be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to parking bay we are able to reach the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've completed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got an old fuel container sitting in the back of your premises full of out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many domestic and commercial premises in West Yorkshire to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a few drums in a garage, assuming that we are able to reach it, we are able to empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Bramhope (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a comprehensive West Yorkshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can come to re-fill the car in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump price) to refill your vehicle. They will be able to take care of any of the common troubles which might accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or even dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.
