It was after five pm on a Tuesday and even though we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not stopped pouring! Brian and I were sitting there talking about the weekend's football results, ready for the seventh job of the day to arrive. In due time we got the phone call from a girl on a business expedition who had gone to the Shell filling station in Todmorden and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Skoda lease car in error. The poor thing was very irritated it seemed, telling me "I cannot believe that I've destroyed the car! I'm so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle that I totally did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" We told her to settle back and not to be concerned, also that such things happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle into a safe position and, because it was just a short distance away from the office, we could find the customer rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was extracted and she was able to return to the Travelodge she was living at. Despite the fact we got pretty drenched, it was all worth the effort to see her drive away satisfied and less concerned. A fuel drain in West Yorkshire done well in my opinion!

Listed here are the top services we provide to our clients.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In West Yorkshire we are discovering increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially thanks to motorists being unsure of the way to use it (note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right near to each other on the car.

Well, precisely what is the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Because the product is mostly ionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

In case you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it immediately. And most certainly don't switch on the motor - not even to relocate it away from the pump. In the event that you did start the car you may almost certainly need to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, can be a significant situation to handle in an automobile - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel can certainly trigger idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of properly, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to drain than water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to solve both circumstances fairly expediently.

Keep in mind though that as long as the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will be totally water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you have the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or situated close to a car parking bay we can reach the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have completed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel reservoir sitting in the back of your garden containing aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous privately owned and industrial premises in West Yorkshire to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even numerous drums in an outbuilding, providing we can reach it, we could certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Todmorden (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a complete West Yorkshire Out of Fuel Service. We can come to fill up your automobile in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) and refill your vehicle. They are also able to handle the most common issues that may accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Todmorden - Todmorden Petrol in Diesel

A couple weeks ago a motorist contacted us just after his Mitsubishi stopped along a street in Todmorden. He had unintentionally put petrol in his diesel motor and drove to the road before being forced to stop. It was really in the early hours of the morning and our engineer, who stays not far away, reached him in less than 20 minutes. We were able to take out the wrong fuel and put fresh diesel back in the vehicle. "Genuine kudos to you for your timely response, especially at 1 a.m., I am grateful for it."
