It was before six pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry afternoon, it had not given up on pouring down rain! Mark and me were seated there going over the weekend's rugby, waiting around for the 8th telephone call that day to come in. Before long we got a phone call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had pulled into the Texaco filling station in Bramhope and filled petrol in a diesel Mitsubishi hire car. The poor lady was quite agitated by the sounds of it, telling me "I still cannot believe I've wrecked the car! I am so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I had forgot that I was operating a diesel!" We asked her to settle back and not to fret, and that such things regrettably happen. She was able to get the vehicle to a secure area and, seeing that it was just a short distance from us, we could get to the lady fairly quickly. The bad fuel was extracted and she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was living at. Despite the fact that we got fairly soaked, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive away relaxed and not so concerned. One more misfuel correction in West Yorkshire done well in my books!

Below are the top services we give to our customers.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout West Yorkshire we have identified more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly as a result of people not understanding the way to work with it (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right near to each other on the vehicle.

So, exactly what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing that the product is mainly ionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Moreover, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

If you find you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained as quickly as possible. And of course be careful not to switch on the engine - not even to shift it to a parking bay. In case you did start the car you would very likely have to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, is generally a serious matter to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel tank will likely contribute to idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied correctly, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both cases pretty swiftly.

Remember however that if the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will be totally water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to a car or truck parking bay we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We have succesfully done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir laying at the rear of your garden containing out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many domestic and industrial premises in West Yorkshire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a number of containers in a storage shed, assuming that we are able to reach it, we could certainly drain it.

Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Bramhope (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a comprehensive West Yorkshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to refill the car any time you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump price) and fill up your car. They can also handle any of the typical troubles that may go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, as well as dead batteries due to over-cranking.
