It was just after seven pm on a Monday and though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ray and I were relaxing there talking over the weekend's footy rankings, at the ready for the 8th call that day to arrive. Eventually we received the phone call from a lovely women on a company trip who had pulled into the Tesco petrol station in Altofts and put petrol in a diesel Renault rental car by mistake. She was somewhat troubled apparently, saying "I cannot believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol car I totally forgot I was running a diesel!" We asked her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and that such things unfortunately happen. She managed to relocate the car into a secure area and, because it was only a few minutes away from us, we could reach the lady without delay. The incorrect fuel was taken out and she could get back to the Travelodge she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got very drenched, it was all worth the time to watch her drive off contented and not so concerned. A fuel drain in West Yorkshire well done in my mind!

Assisting you get back on the road is our primary goal.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around West Yorkshire we are noticing progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination where a person has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent thanks to drivers not being aware of the way to work with it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right next to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing that the product is mostly deionised water, it is like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Additionally, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

Phone us if you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and are able to fix all kinds of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is certainly a serious situation to address in an automobile - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water in your petrol or diesel will trigger idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not dealt with fully, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain when compared with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both circumstances pretty easily.

Keep in mind though that any time the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked close to a vehicle parking spot we should be able to access the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got an old fuel reservoir sitting at the back of your garden full of out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many privately owned and commercial premises in West Yorkshire to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or possibly even some containers in an outbuilding, providing we can access it, we are able to empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Altofts (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a full West Yorkshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to re-fill your car if you are stranded on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at cost) to fill up the car. They will take care of the common problems which can go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as dead batteries due to over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Altofts - Altofts Fuel Rescue

A gentleman phoned us from his house on a road in Altofts. He pronounced, "My car (a Hyundai) is not running and is producing very bad sounds when I turn the key." He confessed that he put petrol in his diesel car but then thought he would resolve the problem by putting more Diesel on top. We got there promptly, did the drain and filled him up once again with fresh Diesel. He said he'd be sure to advise people not to fill up on top of the wrong fuel but to get it cleaned out immediately.
