It was after 6 pm on a Tuesday and although we were guaranteed a dry day, it hadn't ceased raining! Dan and I were resting there talking about the weekend's golf results, ready for the next job of the day to come in. Before long we received a phone call from a lady on a company excursion who had arrived at the Sainsburys petrol station in Mytholm and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Volvo hire car in error. She was pretty agitated apparently, saying "I just can't believe I've ruined the vehicle! I'm so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot I was using a diesel!" We told her to settle back and not to be concerned, and that such things often happen. She was able to get the car to a safe area and, since it was just a few miles away from where we were, we could reach the customer without delay. The wrong fuel was removed so she could once again go back to the Travelodge she was residing in. Even though we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive off relaxed and a lot less apprehensive. Yet another misfuel correction in West Yorkshire well done in my mind!

AdBlue In your Fuel

In West Yorkshire we are encountering a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially a result of people not knowing how to use it (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what exactly is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing as the product is primarily ionised water, it is just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Additionally, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

Assuming you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And of course don't start the vehicle - not even to relocate it into a parking area. If you have started the car you will probably have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a significant situation to handle in a car - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water inside your diesel or petrol is going to result in idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not sorted out effectively, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out as compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both cases quite easily.

Remember though that so long as the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we should be able to access the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel container placed in the back of the garden full of out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of private and business properties in West Yorkshire for the purpose of taking away 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 a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even several containers in a shed, providing we can get to it, we could certainly empty it.

Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Mytholm (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a comprehensive West Yorkshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to fill up the car in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at cost) and fill your car. They will take care of any of the usual problems which can go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or maybe dead batteries due to over-cranking.
