It was close to five pm on a Tuesday and while we were assured a dry evening, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Dan and I were seated going over the recent rugby, waiting around for the sixth telephone call for the day to come in. In due time we got a call from a lady on a business trip who had arrived at the Sainsburys petrol garage in Monkhill and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Chevrolet rental. The unfortunate thing was quite troubled it seemed, saying "I simply can't believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol car I had didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I told her to relax and not to be concerned, and that these things sadly happen. She had managed to get the vehicle to a protected area and, because it was no more than a few minutes off from us, we could reach her right away. The contaminated fuel was extracted and she could get back to the motel she was staying at. Even though we got fairly soaked, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive home calm and not so anxious.

Our Areas of Expertise: Services Our Company Offers:

Here is a list of the incorrect fuel services we offer.

AdBlue Contamination

All around West Yorkshire we have noticed an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part as a result of people not knowing the right way to work with it (remember: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually right near to one another on the automobile.

Well, what is the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Because the product is predominantly ionised water, it's like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Apart from this, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

In the event that you put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained right away. And certainly do not switch on the car - not even to relocate it off the pump. In cases where you did start the car you would likely need to have the full fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is actually an important condition to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines. Putting water in the diesel or petrol will likely bring about idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied effectively, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can handle both situations very simply.

You should know however that so long as the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will be totally water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. So long as the boat is either on land, or moored near to a car or truck parking bay we will be able to gain access to the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container placed at the rear of the garden with out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many domestic and commercial properties in West Yorkshire to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a few containers in an outbuilding, as long as we can get to it, we are able to empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Monkhill (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a comprehensive West Yorkshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to re-fill your car in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) and fill your automobile. They will be able to deal with the typical problems that might accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Monkhill - Monkhill Wrong Fuel in Car

A gentleman called us from his house on a street in Monkhill. He said, "My car (a Kia) is not starting up and is producing terrible sounds when I turn the ignition." He said that he put petrol in his diesel car but then imagined he would solve the problem by putting more Diesel on top. We got there promptly, performed the fuel drain and filled it up again with clean Diesel. He told us after that he'd be sure to educate people not to fill up over the wrong fuel but to get it drained immediately.
