It was close to 8 pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were assured a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring! Paul and I were sitting discussing the recent sports results, prepared for the 6th job that day to come in. Before long we had a phone call from a lovely women on a business trip who had arrived at the Texaco petrol garage in Prescot and put petrol in her diesel Renault hire car. She was very troubled it seemed, telling me "I still can't believe I've destroyed the car! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot I was running a diesel!" I just told her to calm down and not to be concerned, and also that such things sadly often happen. She managed to get the car to a safe area and, since it was just a short distance from our van, we were able to arrive at her rather quickly. The bad fuel was removed and she could once again go back to the hotel she was residing in. Despite the fact we got fairly drenched, it was all worth it seeing her drive home contented and a lot less stressed. One more fuel drain in West Yorkshire well done in my books!

Services We Offer:

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

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout West Yorkshire we have encountered more and more cases of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly due to drivers not knowing how to to make use of (note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly adjacent to each other on the car.

Well, what is the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Since AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Additionally, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

Contact us if you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and are able to handle every type of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant situation to address in a motor vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel will likely result in idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed effectively, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove when compared with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to handle both situations very simply.

You should know that whenever the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the previous one will probably be completely wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to a motor vehicle parking bay we should be able to gain access to the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel container lying in the rear of your premises full of aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and commercial properties in West Yorkshire for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps several containers in a storage shed, as long as we are able to access it, we are able to drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Prescot (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a comprehensive West Yorkshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to re-fill your vehicle if you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at cost) to refill your car. They can also take care of any of the normal troubles which could go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to start, and even dead batteries caused by over-cranking.
