It was before eight pm on a Saturday and although we were promised a dry day, it had not stopped raining! Ray and me were sitting discussing the rugby, prepared for the next job of the day to arrive. Eventually we had a call from a lovely women on a business excursion who had gone to the BP filling garage in Lightcliffe and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Toyota lease car in error. She was rather distressed it seemed, stating "I simply can't believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I completely did not remember that I was running a diesel!" I advised her to take it easy and not to worry, and also that things like this regrettably can happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle to a secure space and, because it was no more than a few miles away from our van, we were able to get to the lady without delay. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could return to the hotel she was staying in. Although we got extremely wet, it was all worth it to see her drive away calm and much less anxious. One more job in West Yorkshire well done in my books!

We are willing to take the wrong fuel work.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around West Yorkshire we have seen progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where an individual has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to a degree as a result of people not being totally sure the way to use it (note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally right near to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what is the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? As AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it's just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Additionally, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

In case you get in this position don?t fret or panic! Call us, the UK?s Number one fuel contamination company. Our experts have got the practical competence and working experience to have you back on the road rapidly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually a significant situation to take care of in a motor vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water in your petrol or diesel can potentially produce idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed correctly, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out compared to water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to solve both circumstances very quickly.

Remember however that so long as the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one will be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to an automobile parking bay we can reach the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container lying at the back of your garden with aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous privately owned and industrial premises in West Yorkshire to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or even several containers in a shed, assuming that we are able to access it, we are able to empty it.

Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Lightcliffe (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a complete West Yorkshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can come to fill up your automobile in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) to fill your car or truck. They are also able to fix any of the normal problems that could go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, and even flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Lightcliffe - Lightcliffe Vehicle Misfuel

A guy had conked out near a street in Lightcliffe. His Porsche car had stopped functioning and he'd no clue what was awry till he noticed he put unleaded in his diesel car. He phoned us to request a fuel drain and that's when he informed us: "I can't believe that I didn't comprehend that I put the wrong fuel in my car." He stated that he had got no sleep the day before and that must have been the key reason why.
