It was after seven pm on a Thursday and although we were assured a dry day, it had not stopped raining! Mark and me were sitting there talking over the weekend's tennis rankings, at the ready for the next job that day to come in. Finally we received the phone call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had pulled into the Esso petrol station in Whitecote and filled petrol in a diesel Land Rover rental car by mistake. She was pretty distressed by the sounds of it, stating "I simply can't believe that I've destroyed the car! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol car that I had did not remember I was running a diesel!" We told her to relax and not to be concerned, also that these things sadly can happen. She had managed to get the vehicle to a safe space and, seeing that it was only a few miles from the office, we were able to find the lady quickly.

Our Services:

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

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over West Yorkshire we have identified increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination where somebody has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent due to motorists not being totally sure the right way to use it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly close to each other on the automobile.

Well, what's the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

Phone us if it turns out you are going through AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will attend to different types of AdBlue contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is generally a serious situation to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel is going to trigger idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out effectively, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to take care of both situations pretty swiftly.

Be aware that in the event that the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. As long as the boat is either on land, or secured close to a vehicle parking bay we are able to gain access to the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel container laying at the back of your garden with out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of privately owned and business properties in West Yorkshire for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps numerous containers in a storage shed, provided that we can access it, we could certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Whitecote (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a comprehensive West Yorkshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to refill your vehicle in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at pump price) and fill the car. They will be able to handle any of the usual issues that could accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Whitecote - Whitecote Wrong Fuel

I appreciated a perfect afternoon hiking during the weekend and felt cheerful with myself the next working day as I set off to help a new couple vacationing in Whitecote. They'd stopped after filling the wrong fuel into their Skoda, and were about half an hour's travel away. I turned up at their location and smiled to myself while I heard to the gal berating her husband for actually being so confused. "Exactly how could you even manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she told him. I tried to clarify that this problem goes on regularly in West Yorkshire and that it's nothing at all to be concerned about, however he yet still had his ear bent by his wife. Poor guy. Anyhow, I drained all the contaminated fuel, flushed the motor and gave it some proper fuel. Watching them drive off I waved good bye and thought about what my wife would tell me if perhaps I made the very same error... I would under no circumstances live it down!
