It was close to seven pm on a Wednesday and even though we were assured a dry day, it had not ceased pouring down rain! Brian and I were relaxing talking over the footy results, waiting for the sixth fuel drain for the day to come in. Before long we received the call from a lovely women on a business expedition who had arrived at the Texaco petrol garage in Catterick Bridge and filled petrol in a diesel Porsche rental car by mistake. She was very irritated by the sounds of it, saying "I just can't believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I am so used to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I totally forgot I was driving a diesel!" I just advised her to relax and not to worry, also that such things regrettably can happen. She had managed to get the car into a safe spot and, seeing that it was just a short distance from our van, we could reach the customer quickly. The contaminated fuel was taken out so she was able to once again go back to the motel she was residing in.

Our Areas of Competency :

Do you or your employees often misfuel your car? We can solve any associated issues.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In North Yorkshire we are identifying progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is partially a result of people not being totally sure the right way to work with it (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right next to each other on the vehicle.

So, what exactly is the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing as the product is mostly deionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Also, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

Should you find yourself in this position don?t fret or panic! Contact us, the UK?s Number 1 fuel contamination service. Our engineers possess the practical expertise and experience to get you back on the road swiftly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a significant condition to take care of in a motor vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Water inside your diesel or petrol can result in idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not taken care of effectively, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both circumstances rather easily.

You should know though that as long as the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one will undoubtedly be completely wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to parking spot we can reach the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've completed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

We have been called out to many private and industrial properties in North Yorkshire for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages.
