Our Areas of Expertise :

This is what we do best.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over North Yorkshire we are noticing a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is mainly stemming from motorists being unsure of the right way to use it (note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Now, precisely what is the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing that AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it's as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Also, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it asap. And obviously be careful not to turn over the car - not even to move it to a parking place. In the event that you did start the car you would in all likelihood need to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is without question a serious situation to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel can certainly result in idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed properly, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of compared to water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both cases pretty swiftly.

Bear in mind though that if the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the previous one will probably be totally wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to an automobile parking bay we are able to reach the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel reservoir in the back of your premises containing old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several privately owned and industrial properties in North Yorkshire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even some drums in a shed, providing we are able to access it, we could certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Flaxby (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a comprehensive North Yorkshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to refill your car in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) to fill your car or truck. They are also able to handle the common problems that might come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, as well as flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.
