It was after 10 pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry and fresh night, it had not given up on pouring down rain! Mark and I were sitting discussing the recent tennis results, waiting around for the 8th job to arrive. Inevitably we received a phone call from a woman on a company expedition who had arrived at the BP petrol garage in Clayton Heights and put petrol in a diesel Toyota hire car in error. She was pretty troubled apparently, crying "I cannot believe I have destroyed the car! I'm just so used to filling up my petrol car I had didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" We told her to take it easy and not to be concerned, plus that such things happen. She had managed to move the car into a secure space and, since it was just a few miles off from our van, we were able to reach the woman rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was drained so she was able to get back to the hotel she was lodging in. Although we got fairly wet, it was all worth it to see her drive off relaxed and much less apprehensive. One more fuel drain in West Yorkshire done well in my books!

Below are the top services we give to our customers.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In West Yorkshire we are finding an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree due to people not knowing the way to to make use of (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right next to one another on the automobile.

Now, precisely what is the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Since AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

Contact us if you are going through AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to attend to all kinds of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is generally a serious situation to handle in a motor vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Water in fuel tank is likely to result in idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not remedied properly, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove compared to water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to resolve both situations rather quickly.

Bear in mind that any time the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be installed as the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to a car parking bay we can gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've performed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Wrong Fuel in Car Clayton Heights, West Yorkshire

Petrol in Diesel Clayton Heights - Clayton Heights Wrong Fuel Assist

I'd had a terrific afternoon golfing during my off day and was feeling delighted the following working day as I was on the way to help a young couple on holiday in Clayton Heights. They had stopped after filling the wrong fuel into their Mazda, and were about half an hour's travel away. I arrived at their car and smirked while I heard to the lady telling off her man for turning out to be so silly. "How could you conceivably be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she asked him. I attempted to explain that this comes to pass on daily basis in West Yorkshire and that it is nothing to fret about, nonetheless he still had an ear bashing. Poor boy. In any case, I removed all of the polluted fuel, flushed the engine and gave them some proper fuel. While they drove away I mouthed hasta la vista and thought about what my missus would ask me if I made the very same blunder... I would never ever hear the end of it!
