It was after 7 pm on a Saturday and while we were promised a dry afternoon, it had not stopped pouring! Mark and I were resting there commenting on the recent golf rankings, waiting for the seventh job that day to arrive. Finally we got a phone call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had pulled into the Esso petrol garage in Marfleet and filled petrol in her diesel Land Rover lease car. The poor lady was very distressed it seemed, saying "I still can't believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car I had forgot I was operating a diesel!" I asked her to take it easy and not to worry, and also that things like this sadly can happen. She had managed to relocate the car to a safe position and, because it was only a short distance from where we were, we were able to reach the lady rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to get back to the hotel she was staying in. Despite the fact we got fairly soaked, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive off calm and less anxious. A job in East Riding of Yorkshire done well in my mind!

Services We Give:

Here's a list of the wrong fuel services we offer.

AdBlue Contamination

All around East Riding of Yorkshire we are finding an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part thanks to motorists not understanding the way to use it (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly close to each other on the automobile.

So, what's the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing as AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it's like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out immediately. And of course don't crank the vehicle - not even to move it into a parking place. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you will likely need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious situation to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water in the diesel or petrol may well bring about idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed correctly, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to take care of both situations rather expediently.

Keep in mind however that in the event that the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one is going to be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty 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 parked near enough to a car or truck parking spot we can access the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel tank placed at the back of the garden full of unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous domestic and industrial premises in East Riding of Yorkshire to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or even a few drums in a shed, provided that we can get to it, we are able to empty it.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Marfleet (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a comprehensive East Riding of Yorkshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to refill your car in cases where you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at pump prices) and fill the car. They can also handle any of the most common issues that could come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Marfleet - Marfleet Wrong Fuel

I enjoyed a fantastic afternoon fishing during my off day and felt pleased the next working day as I headed out to aid a young family on holiday in Marfleet. They'd broken down after inserting diesel in their Smart, and the car was close to half an hour away. I turned up at their position and laughed to myself while I listened to the girl chastising her hubby for being so daft. "Exactly how could you even find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she demanded of him. I attempted to clarify that this problem occurs everyday in East Riding of Yorkshire and that it is nothing at all to get worried about, even so he still got an earful. Poor chap. In any case, I drained all of the wrong fuel, flushed the motor and gave them some appropriate fuel. Watching as they drove down the road I waved bon voyage and considered what my wife would tell me if ever I did the exact same thing... I would never live it down!
