It was around 6 pm on a Friday and though we were assured a dry and fresh night, it hadn't stopped raining! Ray and I were sitting there talking over the golf, waiting around for the seventh job to come in. Inevitably we got the phone call from a woman on a business excursion who had pulled into the Texaco petrol station in Norby and put petrol in a diesel Fiat rental by mistake. She was quite troubled apparently, crying "I can't believe I've messed up the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I had did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" We asked her to settle back and not to fret, and also that such things unfortunately often happen. She managed to move the car into a safe position and, as it was just a short distance away from our van, we were able to find the woman fairly quickly.

Our Areas of Expertise :

Below are the top services we give to our customers.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over North Yorkshire we have found a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination where somebody has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree due to people being unsure of how to to make use of (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually right next to each other on the car.

Well, what's the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing that the product is predominantly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition to this, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Give us a call if it turns out you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can correct every type of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important condition to take care of in a car - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Having water in fuel can certainly result in idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not sorted out effectively, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain in comparison with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both situations fairly easily.

Keep in mind however that in the event that the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter to be fitted as the previous one will undoubtedly be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to a car parking bay we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've performed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel tank in the rear of the garden full of out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few private and industrial properties in North Yorkshire for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or even numerous containers in a shed, provided that we can access it, we can empty it.

Out of fuel in Norby (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a full North Yorkshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to re-fill the car in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at home.

Wrong Fuel in Car Norby - Norby Wrong Fuel

Last week a customer phoned us right after his Dacia broke down in the middle of a street in Norby. He had mistakenly put petrol in his diesel vehicle and drove to the street before being forced to stop. It was actually in the early hours of the morning and our fuel drainer, who lives close by, reached him in about fifteen minutes. We managed to get rid of the incorrect fuel and put clean diesel yet again in the vehicle. "Many thanks to you for your timely response, particularly at 5 a.m., I genuinely am grateful for it."
