It was just before 5 pm on a Wednesday and although we were assured a rainless day, it hadn't ceased raining! Dan and I were relaxing there commenting on the weekend's sports rankings, waiting for the 8th telephone call that day to come in. In due time we had the call from a girl on a company trip who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling station in Wakefield and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Jaguar rental car by mistake. She was quite troubled it seemed, saying "I can't believe that I have ruined the car! I am so used to filling up my petrol car that I completely forgot I was running a diesel!" I just told her to relax and not to worry, and also that such things unfortunately do happen. She was able to move the vehicle to a secure space and, since it was only a short distance away from the office, we could arrive at the woman right away. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to get back to the motel she was lodging at.

Services We Offer:

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

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In West Yorkshire we are noticing more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is mainly caused by drivers not being aware of the right way to to make use of (pay attention: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right next to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what exactly is the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Since AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Additionally, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it at the earliest opportunity. And certainly take care not to switch on the motor - not even to maneuver it from the pump. In cases where you have started the car you may most likely have to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious situation to take care of in a vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Water inside your diesel or petrol will likely result in idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed effectively, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove compared to water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both circumstances pretty easily.

Take note however that as long as the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one will probably be wholly wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we can reach the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel tank placed at the back of the garden with out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous private and commercial premises in West Yorkshire to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a few containers in a garage, providing we are able to get to it, we can certainly drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Wakefield (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a full West Yorkshire Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to re-fill the car in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at pump price) to fill the car. They will be able to take care of the typical problems that may go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, and even dead batteries due to over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Wakefield - Wakefield Vehicle Misfuel

A customer had broken down just near a street in Wakefield. His Renault engine had ceased running and he had no idea what was faulty until eventually he realised he put the wrong fuel in his diesel car. He contacted us to request a fuel drain and that's when he told us: "I can't believe that I didn't realise that I put the incorrect fuel in my car." He claimed that he had got no sleep the day before and that must have been the key reason why.
