It was just before 9 pm on a Friday and although we were assured a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Mark and I were resting talking over the recent tennis results, ready for the seventh call that day to arrive. Before long we had a phone call from a woman on a business trip who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol garage in Colton and filled petrol in a diesel MG hire car in error. She was fairly irritated apparently, saying "I just can't believe I've ruined the car! I am just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember I was using a diesel!" I just advised her to relax and not to worry, also that things like this unfortunately can happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle into a protected space and, as it was no more than a few minutes off from where we were, we could reach her without delay. The bad fuel was taken out so she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth the time seeing her drive away calm and a lot less worried. One more job in West Yorkshire well done in my books!

Services We Give:

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around West Yorkshire we are noticing a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent a result of motorists not being totally sure the way to to make use of (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly next to one another on the vehicle.

So, exactly what is the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is actually like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Additionally, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Contact us if you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to attend to all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, tends to be a significant situation to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Water inside your petrol or diesel is likely to contribute to idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with fully, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to handle both situations very easily.

You should know that as long as the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to a car parking spot we should be able to access the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel tank sitting in the rear of your garden with aged, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several domestic and commercial premises in West Yorkshire to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even several containers in a storage shed, as long as we are able to get to it, we can empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Colton (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a complete West Yorkshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to fill up your car if you are stranded on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at cost) and fill up your automobile. They will be able to deal with any of the common issues that could go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Colton - Colton Fuel Drain

A customer had broken down just off a street in Colton. His Porsche motor had ceased running and he'd no clue what was awry until he noticed he put unleaded in his diesel vehicle. He contacted us to get a fuel drain and that's when he told us: "I can not believe that I did not detect that I put the wrong fuel in my vehicle." He claimed that he had got zero rest the day before and that could have been precisely why.
