It was about 7 pm on a Friday and although we were assured a dry night, it had not given up on raining! Paul and me were resting commenting on the weekend's rugby, ready for the 6th call for the day to arrive. Finally we received a phone call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had arrived at the Sainsburys petrol garage in Newton Mulgrave and filled petrol in a diesel Skoda lease car in error. She was fairly troubled by the sounds of it, stating "I cannot believe I have wrecked the car! I am just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I had did not remember I was using a diesel!" We instructed her to settle back and not to fret, and also that these things do happen. She had managed to move the vehicle into a secure space and, since it was just a few minutes away from the office, we were able to find the woman without delay. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was lodging at. Although we got extremely soaked, it was all worth it seeing her drive off satisfied and less concerned. A job in North Yorkshire well done in my mind!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around North Yorkshire we have found an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination where somebody has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part a result of motorists not understanding the right way to work with it (take note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly adjacent to one another on the automobile.

So, what exactly is the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Also, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

If you put AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it asap. And obviously take care not to switch on the engine - not even to move it to a parking place. In the event that you have started the car you may almost certainly need to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is actually a significant matter to take care of in an automobile - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Water in your petrol or diesel can potentially bring about idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not remedied effectively, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain compared to water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both situations rather easily.

Remember though that so long as the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will likely be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to a car parking bay we will be able to access the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

We've been called out to several privately owned and industrial properties in North Yorkshire to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even numerous containers in a shed, providing we are able to reach it, we are able to drain it for you.

Wrong Fuel Newton Mulgrave - Newton Mulgrave Fuel Drain

Last week a man phoned us when his Land Rover cut out along a street in Newton Mulgrave. He had by mistake put unleaded in his diesel vehicle and was only able to get to the street before needing to pull up. It was still early in the morning and our technical engineer, who lives nearby, got to him in less than a quarter hour. We managed to drain the wrong fuel and put fresh diesel back into the car. "Thank you for your immediate response, especially at 3 a.m., I really am grateful for it."
