It was just after eight pm on a Thursday and even though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Brian and me were seated there talking over the golf rankings, at the ready for the 6th fuel drain of the day to arrive. In due time we got the call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had pulled into the Shell petrol station in Kettlesing and put petrol in a diesel Ford rental by mistake. The unfortunate lady was quite agitated apparently, crying "I can't believe that I have wrecked the car! I'm just so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car I totally forgot I was using a diesel!" I just asked her to take it easy and not to worry, and also that things like this unfortunately happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle to a secure spot and, as it was no more than a few miles off from the office, we were able to find the customer fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was removed and she could go home to the hotel she was residing at. Even though we got pretty soaked, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive off contented and not so concerned. A job in North Yorkshire done well in my opinion!

Offered Services:

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

AdBlue In Your Diesel

What to do in the event that you have poured Adblue into a Diesel tank? AdBlue is a chemical made from a blend of ionized water (67.5%) and urea (32.5%).Adblue is certainly devastating to your car's fuel system, particularly if you run the engine with Adblue in the fuel tank. As soon as the engine has been started the Adblue will be injected into your fuel lines and will swiftly start to crystalise, causing serious and costly damage to your car's fuel system.

In case you put AdBlue in your fuel tank remove it asap. And absolutely don't turn over the car - not even to relocate it from the pump. In cases where you did start the car you will most likely have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is without question a serious condition to handle in a vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel can bring about idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not remedied correctly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to handle both situations pretty expediently.

Take note though that any time the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one will be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to parking spot we will be able to access the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel container laying in the back of your garden containing old, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and industrial premises in North Yorkshire for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps a few containers in a garage, providing we are able to reach it, we could certainly drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Kettlesing (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a comprehensive North Yorkshire Out of Fuel Service. We will help to re-fill your car any time you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) and refill your automobile. They will be able to fix the normal problems which may accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or maybe dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Kettlesing - Kettlesing Fuel Drain

A customer had broken down just off a road in Kettlesing. His Citroen motor had ceased operating and he'd no idea what was the problem right up until he noticed he put petrol in his diesel vehicle. He rang us to request a fuel drain and that's when he explained to us: "I can not believe that I did not comprehend that I had put the incorrect fuel in my car." He stated that he had got absolutely no rest the evening before and that must have been precisely why.
