It was about 10 pm on a Thursday and while we were guaranteed a rainless night, it had not stopped raining! Brian and I were seated discussing the weekend's tennis results, ready for the next call for the day to arrive. Before long we had a call from a lady on a company expedition who had pulled into the Tesco filling station in Illingworth and filled petrol in her diesel Volkswagen lease car in error. The unfortunate lady was pretty distressed it seemed, saying "I cannot believe that I have messed up the car! I am just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I had forgot I was using a diesel!" I advised her to take it easy and not to fret, also that such things regrettably happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle into a secure space and, since it was no more than a few minutes off from us, we could arrive at her rather quickly. The bad fuel was removed and she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was living at. Although we got very drenched, it was all worth the time to see her drive home calm and much less concerned. One more job in West Yorkshire well done in my books!

Services Our Company Offers:

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

AdBlue In Diesel

All around West Yorkshire we are identifying increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is in part as a consequence of drivers not understanding how to use it (be aware: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right adjacent to each other on the car.

Now, what exactly is the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

If you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And most certainly be careful not to start the vehicle - not even to relocate it away from the pump. In the event that you have started the vehicle you would probably need to have the full fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is certainly an important situation to handle in a car - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Putting water in the diesel or petrol is going to contribute to idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed fully, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both cases quite quickly.

Take note that any time the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one is going to be completely water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to parking bay we are able to access the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've completed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel reservoir in the rear of your premises full of old, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few domestic and commercial premises in West Yorkshire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even some drums in a shed, if we are able to reach it, we can empty it.

We can come to refill your vehicle any time you are stranded on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home.
