It was before ten pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Paul and me were sitting discussing the rugby, waiting around for the next job for the day to arrive. Before long we received the call from a lady on a company excursion who had pulled into the Texaco petrol station in Byram and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Nissan hire car in error. The poor thing was rather affected it seemed, stating "I cannot believe that I've destroyed the car! I'm so accustomed to filling my petrol car I had did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just told her to settle back and not to worry, plus that these things unfortunately do happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle to a protected position and, seeing that it was just a short distance away from us, we could find the lady rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was extracted and she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was residing in.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout North Yorkshire we are discovering more and more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part due to drivers not knowing the way to to make use of (note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly next to each other on the vehicle.

Well, precisely what is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Because the product is mainly ionised water, it is actually just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Additionally, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

If you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it as quickly as possible. And most certainly be careful not to switch on the car - not even to relocate it into a parking area. If you did start the car you will in all probability need to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a significant condition to deal with in a car - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in diesel or petrol can easily contribute to idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed effectively, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove compared to water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we can take care of both circumstances very quickly.

Bear in mind though that so long as the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the previous one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to a vehicle parking spot we are able to gain access to the storage and drain out the fuel. We have succesfully done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have a fuel reservoir placed at the rear of your garden full of unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several domestic and industrial properties in North Yorkshire to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or even several containers in a garage, if we can reach it, we could certainly drain it.

Out of fuel in Byram (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a comprehensive North Yorkshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to fill up your automobile in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) and fill your car or truck.
