It was around 5 pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a rainless night, it hadn't stopped raining! Paul and I were sitting there discussing the recent sports, ready for the sixth job to come in. Inevitably we had a call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had arrived at the Tesco petrol station in Burton Pidsea and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Nissan hire car by mistake. She was pretty distressed it seemed, crying "I just can't believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling my petrol car that I completely did not remember I was running a diesel!" I just instructed her to calm down and not to fret, plus that things like this regrettably often happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle to a protected position and, since it was no more than a short distance from our van, we could find the woman swiftly. The wrong fuel was taken out and she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was living in. Despite the fact that we got very soaked, it was all worth it to watch her drive home relaxed and a lot less concerned. Yet another fuel drain in East Riding of Yorkshire well done in my books!

Our Fields of Expertise:

Listed below are our top services we deliver to our clients.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout East Riding of Yorkshire we are finding an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly as a result of drivers not being totally sure how to use it (please note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right adjacent to one another on the car.

Well, what exactly is the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Since AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Moreover, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

If you find you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained immediately. And certainly don't turn over the motor - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you would most likely have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is actually a significant issue to take care of in a vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Having water in the diesel or petrol can certainly result in idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not dealt with effectively, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both cases quite easily.

Bear in mind however that so long as the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter to be installed since the old one will likely be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to a car or truck parking bay we should be able to gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have carried out quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel container sitting at the back of your garden full of unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several private and business premises in East Riding of Yorkshire to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps numerous drums in a garage, if we are able to access it, we could certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Burton Pidsea (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a complete East Riding of Yorkshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to re-fill your car any time you are stranded on the 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 fuel (purchased at cost) and fill your car. They will be able to fix the normal problems which can accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or maybe flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Fuel Removal Burton Pidsea - Burton Pidsea Wrong Fuel Doctor

A gentleman contacted us from his residence on a street in Burton Pidsea. He pronounced, "My vehicle (a MG) is not starting up and is creating awful noises when I flip the ignition." He said that he put unleaded in his diesel vehicle but then thought he would resolve the problem by putting additional Diesel on top. We got there promptly, carried out the drain and filled him up once more with untainted Diesel. He said he'd be sure to inform people not to fill up in addition to the wrong fuel but to get it cleaned out promptly.
