It was before 9 pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it had not stopped raining! Dan and I were resting there going over the weekend's rugby, waiting for the next call to arrive. Inevitably we received a phone call from a lovely women on a business excursion who had gone to the Shell petrol garage in Saltaire and put petrol in a diesel SEAT lease car in error. She was rather agitated it seemed, saying "I simply cannot believe that I've wrecked the car! I am just so used to filling my petrol vehicle I completely didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" We asked her to relax and not to fret, plus that these things often happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle into a secure space and, seeing that it was just a short distance away from us, we could arrive at the woman swiftly. The contaminated fuel was drained and she could return to the Travelodge she was living in. Despite the fact we got pretty soaked, it was all worth the effort to see her drive off calm and much less worried. A job in West Yorkshire well done in my opinion!

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

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around West Yorkshire we are noticing an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly caused by motorists not being totally sure the right way to work with it (pay attention: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly near to one another on the automobile.

Now, exactly what is the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it's as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water don't mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition to this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

In the case you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out immediately. And most definitely do not start up the vehicle - not even to move it off the pump. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you would almost certainly have to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is usually a significant matter to handle in a vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your fuel tank can potentially contribute to idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out correctly, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both situations very swiftly.

Remember though that in the event that the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the old one will be wholly water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to parking spot we are able to access the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got a fuel container laying in the rear of your garden full of out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to numerous privately owned and business premises in West Yorkshire to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a number of containers in an outbuilding, if we are able to reach it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Saltaire (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a comprehensive West Yorkshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to re-fill the car in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at cost) to fill your car. They will deal with any of the usual troubles that might go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to start, as well as flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Saltaire - Saltaire Wrong Fuel Doctor

I'd had a fantastic afternoon fishing on the weekend and was feeling satisfied the next morning as I was on the way to help a young couple away in Saltaire. They conked out after filling diesel into their Kia, and the car was close to half an hour away. I arrived at their location and smiled as I heard to the wife telling her partner off for actually being so foolish. "Exactly how could you conceivably find a way to fill the vehicle up by using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I tried to clarify that this takes place everyday in West Yorkshire and that it is nothing to stress about, however he yet still got an ear bashing. Unfortunate lad. In any case, I removed the contaminated fuel, flushed the motor and filled them up with the proper fuel. While watching them drive off I mouthed goodbye and pondered on what her indoors would say to me if I did the exact same thing... I'd under no circumstances hear the end of it!
