It was about six pm on a Monday and while we were assured a dry evening, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Mark and me were resting going over the weekend's tennis rankings, prepared for the seventh job for the day to arrive. Inevitably we had the call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had gone to the Shell filling garage in Airton and filled petrol in her diesel Lexus lease car by mistake. The poor lady was rather agitated it seemed, crying "I simply cannot believe I've messed up the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling my petrol car I completely forgot I was driving a diesel!" We asked her to take it easy and not to worry, plus that these things regrettably happen. She was able to maneuver the car to a safe position and, seeing that it was just a few minutes from our van, we were able to find the customer rather quickly. The bad fuel was removed and she was able to return to the Travelodge she was lodging at. Even though we got fairly wet, it was all rewarding to watch her drive home relaxed and not so anxious. Yet another job in North Yorkshire well done in my opinion!

Our Fields of Expertise:

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

AdBlue In your Fuel

How to proceed if you?ve poured Adblue in a Diesel fuel tank? AdBlue is a chemical that?s made from a mix of deionized water (67.5%) and urea.It tends to be damaging to your vehicle's fuel system, specifically any time you have had the engine running with Adblue in the diesel tank. Once the engine has been started up the Adblue will undoubtedly be injected into your fuel lines and will swiftly begin to crystalise, resulting in catastrophic and costly harm to your car's fuel system.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's petrol or diesel, is usually a serious situation to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Water in your diesel or petrol is going to bring about idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not sorted out properly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both cases rather simply.

Bear in mind that if ever the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will likely be completely water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to a car parking bay we should be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Have a fuel container at the back of your premises with unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few private and commercial premises in North Yorkshire to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a few drums in a garage, assuming that we can access it, we are able to empty it for you.

Out of fuel in Airton (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a comprehensive North Yorkshire Out of Fuel Service. We will help to fill up your vehicle in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at your home.

They are also able to handle any of the normal problems which could accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to start, and even flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Airton - Airton Petrol in Diesel

The other day a customer phoned us just after his Kia broke down along a street in Airton. He had inadvertently put petrol in the diesel car and drove as far as the street before being forced to pull over. It was actually in the early hours of the day and our technician, who resides nearby, was with him in less than a quarter hour. We were able to remove the wrong fuel and put clean diesel once again in the vehicle. "Thank you for your fast response, and in particular at 6 a.m., I really am grateful for it."
