AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around West Yorkshire we are noticing an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination where a person has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part as a consequence of motorists not being aware of the right way to work with it (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually right next to each other on the automobile.

Now, exactly what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing that AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it's almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Additionally, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

Contact us if you are suffering from AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can handle every type of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is generally a serious condition to take care of in an automobile - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Putting water inside your fuel will often cause idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not addressed properly, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove as compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to take care of both circumstances pretty quickly.

Keep in mind that if the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one will be completely wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to a car parking bay we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have carried out quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel reservoir laying at the back of your premises full of old, useless or degraded fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous domestic and business premises in West Yorkshire for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps several drums in an outbuilding, provided that we can access it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Ilkley (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a full West Yorkshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to fill up your automobile in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at pump price) to fill your automobile. They are also able to take care of any of the common troubles which might come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or even flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Ilkley - Ilkley Petrol in Diesel

I appreciated a great evening golfing on the weekend and was feeling pleased with myself the following morning as I was en route to aid a new family who were on holiday in Ilkley. They broken down after filling the wrong fuel in their Smart, and they were about half an hour away. I emerged at their location and laughed to myself while I listened to the lady berating her hubby for being so stupid. "Just how could you possibly manage to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I attempted to explain that this situation occurs on a regular basis in West Yorkshire and that it's in reality nothing to be concerned about, nevertheless he all the same got an ear bashing by his missus. Poor chap. Anyways, I drained out the contaminated fuel, flushed the motor and filled it up with the appropriate fuel. Watching as they drove down the road I shouted so long and thought about what her indoors would tell me if ever I made the very same error... I would under no circumstances live it down!
