Our Areas of Experience :

Assisting you get back on the road is our primary goal.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout West Yorkshire we are noticing more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree as a consequence of motorists being unsure of the right way to to make use of (note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually right near to each other on the vehicle.

Well, exactly what is the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing that the product is predominantly deionised water, it is as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Furthermore, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

Call us if you are affected by AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and are able to fix different types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, can be a serious condition to handle in a car - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel will likely cause idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed effectively, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove than water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to take care of both cases rather quickly.

Keep in mind though that any time the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will be totally water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. Providing the boat is either on land, or moored close to parking spot we will be able to access the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Petrol in Diesel Ilkley - Ilkley Wrong Fuel Doctor

I'd had a perfect evening golfing on the weekend and was feeling pleased with myself the following morning as I set out to help a young couple who were holidaying in Ilkley. They had pulled over after filling diesel in their Suzuki, and they were about half an hour's travel away. I emerged at their car and smiled to myself while I heard to the wife telling her man off for turning out to be so foolish. "How could you conceivably find a way to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she said to him. I attempted to clarify that this kind of thing takes place everyday in West Yorkshire and that it's nothing at all to be anxious about, nonetheless he in spite of everything had his ear bent by his better half. I felt genuine sympathy for the boy. Anyway, I extracted the contaminated fuel, flushed the motor and filled it up with the appropriate fuel. Watching them drive down the road I shouted so long and wondered what my wife would say to me in the event that I did the exact same thing... I'd personally never ever live it down!
