It was after eight pm on a Tuesday and even though we were promised a dry night, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Mark and me were sitting there going over the weekend's rugby rankings, prepared for the seventh job for the day to arrive. In due time we got the call from a lady on a company excursion who had pulled into the Esso filling station in Bents Head and put petrol in her diesel Porsche rental car in error. She was quite affected it seemed, crying "I can not believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I am so used to filling up my petrol vehicle I had didn't remember I was running a diesel!" We advised her to settle back and not to fret, and also that things like this unfortunately often happen. She was able to get the vehicle to a secure area and, since it was no more than a short distance from us, we could get to the lady without delay. The incorrect fuel was extracted so she could go home to the hotel she was living at. Even though we got thoroughly wet, it was all rewarding to watch her drive off contented and not so concerned.

This is what we do best.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around West Yorkshire we have noticed increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination when somebody has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to a degree as a result of motorists being unsure of the right way to use it (be aware: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right close to one another on the automobile.

So, exactly what is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Since AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Moreover, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

If perhaps you put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out at the earliest opportunity. And most definitely do not start up the car - not even to relocate it to a parking area. Assuming you have started the vehicle you will in all probability have to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally an important condition to take care of in a car - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Water inside your petrol or diesel may well cause idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with properly, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both circumstances very expediently.

Bear in mind however that so long as the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the old one will probably be completely water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or parked close to a vehicle parking bay we can access the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We've succesfully done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container lying in the back of the garden with aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous private and business properties in West Yorkshire for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or possibly even numerous drums in a garage, providing we are able to access it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Bents Head (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a complete West Yorkshire Out of Fuel Service. We can help to fill up your car in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) and fill up the car. They are also able to handle any of the common troubles which could accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Bents Head - Bents Head Vehicle Misfuel

I had appreciated a wonderful day fishing on my off day and was feeling contented the next working day as I was on the way to help a young couple who were on holiday in Bents Head. They stopped after putting diesel in their Porsche, and they were approximately an hour away. I arrived at their car and smirked while I heard to the gal telling her hubby off for turning out to be so silly. "How could you actually find a way to fill the vehicle up with the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I attempted to explain that this kind of thing occurs everyday in West Yorkshire and that it's absolutely nothing to fret about, and yet he still had an ear bashing by his missus. Unfortunate boy. In any case, I cleaned up and removed all of the contaminated fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave them some proper fuel. Watching them drive down the road I mouthed farewell and considered what her indoors would say to me in the event that I did the very same thing... I would never ever live it down!
