AdBlue Contamination

In West Yorkshire we have identified progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part caused by people not being totally sure the right way to use it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly close to one another on the automobile.

So, exactly what is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? As the product is predominantly ionised water, it is as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Furthermore, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

If you find you put AdBlue in a fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And certainly take care not to turn over the engine - not even to relocate it to a parking spot. In the instance that you did start the car you may in all likelihood need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious situation to take care of in a vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel tank will often contribute to idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of correctly, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain as compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to solve both cases fairly simply.

Bear in mind that so long as the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will probably be wholly wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to a vehicle parking spot we can gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We have carried out quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel tank placed at the back of the garden containing unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and business premises in West Yorkshire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a number of containers in a garage, assuming that we are able to access it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Flockton (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a comprehensive West Yorkshire Out of Fuel Service. We can help to re-fill your automobile in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) and fill your vehicle. They can also handle the normal problems which can come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even dead batteries due to over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Flockton - Flockton Wrong Fuel Drain

I had a perfect evening fishing on my off day and was feeling pleased with myself the following day as I set off to help a young family vacationing in Flockton. They had stopped after putting petrol into their Audi, and were roughly an hour away. I showed up at their location and laughed to myself as I heard to the woman telling her man off for being so confused. "Just how could you conceivably find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she asked him. I tried to tell her that this goes on on a regular basis in West Yorkshire and that it's truly nothing at all to fret about, and yet he in spite of everything had an ear bashing. Unlucky boy. Anyhow, I removed all of the contaminated fuel, flushed the engine and filled it up with the appropriate fuel. Watching as they drove down the road I shouted hasta la vista and thought about what my wife would do to me in the event that I made the very same blunder... I'd under no circumstances hear the end of it!

What follows are feedback and illustrations of wrong fuel removal we've carried out in Flockton:

We got a telephone call from a individual whose Skoda had conked out on a road because he put the wrong fuel in it. "I got the pumps mixed up and put petrol instead of diesel in my vehicle in error. You guys arrived and fixed the issue when my vehicle quit." We drained the wrong fuel from the diesel tank and flushed the system completely afterwards and the motorist could then carry on with his sheduled delivery.

Fuel Removal Flockton - Flockton Wrong Fuel

This was exactly what is called an unsociable time to be awake. It was close to sunrise and almost noone was about. It had been pretty dead so far, and Ray and I were loafing about looking through some old papers. This was an unusual tranquil moment in West Yorkshire. Actually it was in fact that calm that when the phone rang I leaped with surprise! The person on the opposite end said: "I've completed my evening shift and foolishly poured the wrong fuel in my Kia in error". We got him to inform us where the car was and we headed out, ending up in Flockton not as much as half an hour later. The incorrect fuel was extracted from the vehicle and he said thanks a lot for arriving so quickly. As we were going back home we spotted two young ladies at the side of the road who appeared to have a flat. So we pulled up to change it, much to their delight.
