It was just after 6 pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry evening, it had not stopped raining! Mark and I were seated there discussing the weekend's footy, at the ready for the next call that day to come in. In due time we got a phone call from a young lady on a company excursion who had arrived at the Texaco filling station in Earlsheaton and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Lexus rental by mistake. The unfortunate thing was rather irritated apparently, crying "I can not believe I've wrecked the car! I'm just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I totally forgot I was driving a diesel!" I told her to calm down and not to worry, plus that such things sadly do happen. She managed to maneuver the car into a protected area and, seeing as it was just a short distance from the office, we were able to arrive at her almost instantly. The wrong fuel was taken out so she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was lodging at. Despite the fact we got thoroughly wet, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive away satisfied and not so concerned. One more misfuel correction in West Yorkshire well done in my books!

AdBlue Contamination

All around West Yorkshire we are discovering a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination when an individual has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is in part due to motorists not being totally sure the way to use it (important: it is actually not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly near to each other on the automobile.

So, what is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? As AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it's just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Furthermore, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Contact us in the event that you are suffering with AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and have the ability to fix every type of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's petrol or diesel, is generally a serious situation to deal with in a car - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel may well result in idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of properly, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove than water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both cases rather quickly.

Be aware though that if ever the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one is going to be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to a car parking spot we should be able to gain access to the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container in the back of your garden with old, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several privately owned and commercial premises in West Yorkshire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even a number of containers in a garage, as long as we can get to it, we can certainly empty it.

Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Earlsheaton (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a full West Yorkshire Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to refill your automobile in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at cost) and fill your car or truck. They will be able to fix the most common troubles that could accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or maybe dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Earlsheaton - Earlsheaton Wrong Fuel Doctor

A motorist had stopped near a road in Earlsheaton. His Mitsubishi engine had ceased running and he'd no clue what was wrong until eventually he realised he put unleaded in his diesel car. He phoned us to request a fuel drain and it was then when he informed us: "I can not believe that I didn't comprehend that I had put the incorrect fuel in my car." He claimed that he had got no sleep the day before and that must have been the reason why.
