It was before 10 pm on a Thursday and although we were assured a dry afternoon, it hadn't given up on raining! Paul and I were relaxing going over the recent football results, waiting for the sixth fuel drain to arrive. Inevitably we received the phone call from a young lady on a business trip who had arrived at the BP petrol garage in Burnsall and filled petrol in a diesel MINI hire car by mistake. She was very distressed apparently, crying "I can not believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I am so used to filling my petrol vehicle I totally forgot that I was operating a diesel!" We instructed her to calm down and not to be concerned, also that things like this can happen. She managed to get the car into a protected area and, since it was no more than a short distance from our van, we could reach the woman quickly. The incorrect fuel was removed and she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was living in. Despite the fact we got really soaked, it was all rewarding to watch her drive home satisfied and a lot less concerned. One more misfuel correction in North Yorkshire done well in my opinion!

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

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around North Yorkshire we are identifying a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is mostly caused by people not knowing how to use it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly close to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what exactly is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing as the product is predominantly ionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Additionally, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Give us a call if you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to attend to all types of AdBlue contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is definitely an important condition to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Water inside your diesel or petrol can easily result in idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with effectively, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove when compared with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both cases pretty quickly.

Take note that as long as the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the previous one will undoubtedly be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. Providing the boat is either on land, or secured near to a vehicle parking spot we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have carried out quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel container lying at the rear of your premises containing unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few domestic and commercial premises in North Yorkshire to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a number of containers in an outbuilding, assuming that we can access it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Burnsall (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a comprehensive North Yorkshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to re-fill your car if you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at cost) and fill up your automobile. They will fix any of the usual issues which might go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, and even flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Burnsall - Burnsall Wrong Fuel Drain

I'd had a great afternoon hiking during the weekend and was feeling delighted with myself the following day as I was en route to aid a new family on vacation in Burnsall. They'd stopped after putting the wrong fuel into their Citroen, and were approximately an hour's travel away. I got there at their location and smirked to myself while I listened to the lady berating her spouse for turning out to be so daft. "How could you even manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she said to him. I attempted to clarify that this occurs on a regular basis in North Yorkshire and that it's really nothing at all to be anxious about, and yet he in spite of everything had an ear bashing by his better half. Poor chap. At any rate, I removed the contaminated fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave it some correct fuel. As they drove down the road I shouted good-bye and pondered on what her indoors would tell me in the event that I did the very same thing... I would personally under no circumstances live it down!
