It was around ten pm on a Saturday and while we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not stopped raining! Dan and me were seated there commenting on the weekend's sports, at the ready for the next call to arrive. Before long we received a phone call from a young lady on a business expedition who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling station in Langbaurgh and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel MG rental car in error. The unfortunate thing was somewhat irritated it seemed, stating "I simply cannot believe that I have messed up the car! I am just so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I had did not remember that I was running a diesel!" I told her to calm down and not to be concerned, and that these things regrettably often happen. She was able to maneuver the car into a secure space and, since it was just a short distance away from the office, we could get to her right away. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could get back to the hotel she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got pretty drenched, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive away relaxed and less stressed. Another fuel drain in North Yorkshire done well in my opinion!

Do you or your drivers often misfuel your vehicle? We can resolve any related problems.

AdBlue In Diesel

All around North Yorkshire we are finding progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when an individual has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is in part thanks to motorists not being totally sure the right way to work with it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right next to one another on the automobile.

Now, what is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing that the product is mostly ionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

If perhaps you put AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it right away. And certainly never switch on the engine - not even to relocate it off the pump. If perhaps you have started the car you would in all likelihood have to have the full fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually a serious issue to take care of in an automobile - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Water in your petrol or diesel can certainly cause idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not dealt with effectively, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain as compared to water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both cases very expediently.

Take note that if the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one will probably be totally wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Providing the boat is either on land, or parked close to parking spot we are able to gain access to the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container at the rear of your premises with unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many privately owned and business premises in North Yorkshire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a number of containers in a garage, assuming that we are able to get to it, we can drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Langbaurgh (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a complete North Yorkshire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to refill your car any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at pump prices) and fill your automobile. They are also able to take care of the usual problems that can accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, and even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.
