It was around eight pm on a Tuesday and although we were promised a dry and fresh day, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Dan and I were sitting commenting on the weekend's footy rankings, waiting for the next fuel drain that day to arrive. Eventually we had a phone call from a lady on a business excursion who had arrived at the Shell filling station in Monk End and filled petrol in her diesel Hyundai rental. She was pretty distressed it seemed, crying "I can not believe that I have wrecked the car! I'm so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I had forgot that I was operating a diesel!" I just advised her to relax and not to be concerned, and also that these things sadly happen. She was able to get the car into a secure position and, since it was only a short distance away from the office, we were able to get to the customer swiftly.

Here's a list of the incorrect fuel services we deliver.

AdBlue Contamination

All around North Yorkshire we have seen a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination when an individual has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to a degree due to motorists not being totally sure the way to work with it (remember: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right adjacent to each other on the car.

So, precisely what is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel car? As AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Additionally, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

In case you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained asap. And definitely take care not to start the motor - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. In cases where you did start the vehicle you will in all probability have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, tends to be a serious matter to deal with in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Having water in your diesel or petrol will often lead to idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with fully, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can resolve both circumstances quite easily.

Take note that so long as the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to an automobile parking bay we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've carried out many fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container placed in the back of the garden with unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of domestic and business properties in North Yorkshire for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or even a few drums in an outbuilding, provided that we are able to reach it, we are able to drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Monk End (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a complete North Yorkshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will help to fill up your vehicle in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump price) and fill your vehicle. They are also able to handle the typical problems that may come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.
