This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around West Yorkshire we have seen a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination where a driver has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly as a consequence of drivers not understanding the right way to use it (note: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly close to each other on the automobile.

So, what exactly is the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Since the product is predominantly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

If you find you put AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it as soon as possible. And certainly do not crank the engine - not even to shift it away from the pump. In the instance that you have started the car you would most likely have to have the full fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, can be an important situation to take care of in a car - especially in current day common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel is going to produce idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not taken care of fully, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out as compared with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both cases rather swiftly.

Take note however that whenever the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or secured near to a vehicle parking bay we can reach the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel container at the rear of your premises containing old, useless or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few domestic and industrial premises in West Yorkshire to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even several drums in a storage shed, if we can reach it, we can empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Lane Bottom (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a full West Yorkshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to re-fill the car in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at pump price) and fill up the car. They will take care of the usual problems that could go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or maybe flat batteries caused by over-cranking.
