Do you or your employees frequently misfuel your vehicle? We can solve any associated issues.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around West Yorkshire we have identified a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to a degree a result of drivers not knowing the right way to to make use of (note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right next to one another on the car.

Now, what is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Also, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

In case you put AdBlue in a fuel tank remove it right away. And absolutely do not start up the motor - not even to relocate it from the pump. In cases where you have started the vehicle you will probably have to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, is definitely an important situation to deal with in an automobile - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Having water in your diesel or petrol may trigger idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out effectively, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain as compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to resolve both situations pretty easily.

Keep in mind though that if the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one is going to be totally wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it.

We've performed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Wrong Fuel Doctor Thackley - Thackley Wrong Fuel

I appreciated a terrific day hiking on my off day and felt delighted with myself the following morning as I set off to assist a young family who were vacationing in Thackley. They had conked out after putting the wrong fuel in their Mercedes, and the car was close to an hour's travel away. I arrived at their car and laughed to myself while I heard to the lady telling her husband off for being so silly. "Just how could you even be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she asked him. I tried to explain that this kind of thing goes on all the time in West Yorkshire and that it's in reality nothing at all to stress about, however he all the same got his ear bent. Unlucky chap. In any case, I cleaned up and removed all of the contaminated fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave it some proper fuel. While they drove away I mouthed goodbye and wondered what her indoors would tell me in the event that I made the same error... I would never ever hear the end of it!
