It was before six pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry and fresh day, it hadn't given up on raining! Mark and I were relaxing discussing the recent footy results, waiting for the 6th job that day to come in. In due time we got a phone call from a lady on a business trip who had pulled into the BP petrol garage in Wheatley and filled petrol in a diesel Mazda lease car by mistake. She was very agitated by the sounds of it, stating "I still cannot believe I've messed up the vehicle! I'm just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I completely didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" I advised her to settle back and not to be concerned, and that things like this unfortunately can happen. She managed to get the vehicle into a secure space and, seeing that it was just a few miles away from our van, we were able to find her right away. The wrong fuel was extracted and she could return to the motel she was staying in. Although we got extremely drenched, it was all worth the effort to see her drive home relaxed and a lot less anxious. Another job in West Yorkshire done well in my mind!

AdBlue In Diesel

All around West Yorkshire we are discovering increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to some extent stemming from motorists not being totally sure how to work with it (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

Now, precisely what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it's like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Moreover, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

Phone us if you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to handle all types of AdBlue contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious matter to handle in a car - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel tank is going to result in idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not addressed fully, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain as compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both situations rather swiftly.

Take note that if the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will be wholly wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Providing the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to a car or truck parking spot we will be able to access the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got an old fuel container laying at the rear of your premises with unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several privately owned and business premises in West Yorkshire for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a number of drums in a garage, if we can reach it, we can drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Wheatley (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a complete West Yorkshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to refill your vehicle if you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) and fill your car. They are also able to take care of the common issues which might come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, and even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.
