Services We Offer:

Below are the top services we deliver to our customers.

AdBlue Contamination

In North Yorkshire we are encountering increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination where someone has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly due to drivers not understanding how to use it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and partly because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually right next to each other on the vehicle.

Now, precisely what is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Because AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Also, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it at the earliest opportunity. And of course don't start the vehicle - not even to relocate it into a parking bay. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you will very likely need to have the whole fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly a significant situation to address in a motor vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Water inside your diesel or petrol will trigger idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not taken care of fully, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out than water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to take care of both cases fairly simply.

Be aware that so long as the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one will undoubtedly be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to an automobile parking spot we should be able to reach the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We've done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container sitting at the back of your garden with unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several private and industrial properties in North Yorkshire for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even some drums in a garage, providing we are able to get to it, we can drain it.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Little Heck (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a full North Yorkshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to refill your car any time you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump price) to fill up your car. They are also able to deal with any of the most common issues that can go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
