It was about 5 pm on a Thursday and although we were promised a dry night, it hadn't given up on pouring! Brian and I were relaxing discussing the recent footy, waiting around for the 6th call of the day to come in. Eventually we got a phone call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had pulled into the Tesco petrol garage in Keelham and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Fiat hire car by mistake. The poor thing was rather irritated it seemed, saying "I simply cannot believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car that I completely forgot that I was using a diesel!" We asked her to take it easy and not to fret, and that these things unfortunately do happen. She managed to maneuver the car to a safe space and, since it was just a few minutes off from our van, we were able to reach the customer fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was drained so she could once again go back to the motel she was staying in. Although we got pretty soaked, it was all rewarding to watch her drive away calm and much less worried. Yet another job in West Yorkshire done well in my books!

AdBlue Contamination

All around West Yorkshire we are encountering a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination where a person has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent as a consequence of motorists not being totally sure the right way to to make use of (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly near to one another on the car.

Now, what exactly is the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Because AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

In the case you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it as quickly as possible. And of course never crank the motor - not even to relocate it into a parking bay. In cases where you did start the car you will in all probability have to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally an important condition to handle in a vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel tank will trigger idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed correctly, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove as compared to water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both situations quite expediently.

Be aware though that if ever the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will probably be totally water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to an automobile parking bay we are able to gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We've completed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank placed in the back of your premises full of unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many privately owned and commercial properties in West Yorkshire to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even numerous drums in a storage shed, assuming that we are able to reach it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Keelham (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a comprehensive West Yorkshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to refill your car in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at pump prices) to fill up your car. They will be able to take care of any of the normal issues that may go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
