It was close to 5 pm on a Tuesday and though we were promised a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring! Paul and I were relaxing there talking over the rugby results, prepared for the 6th fuel drain that day to arrive. Inevitably we had the phone call from a young lady on a business expedition who had arrived at the BP filling station in Oatlands and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Toyota lease car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was quite troubled apparently, crying "I still can't believe that I have ruined the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I totally forgot that I was operating a diesel!" I just advised her to take it easy and not to worry, also that such things do happen. She was able to relocate the car into a protected area and, since it was only a few minutes from us, we could reach her right away. The wrong fuel was drained and she was able to get back to the motel she was residing in. Despite the fact we got really soaked, it was all worthwhile to see her drive off contented and much less stressed. Another fuel drain in North Yorkshire done well in my mind!

Our Areas of Expertise :

Here are the top services we provide to our customers.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around North Yorkshire we are noticing increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part stemming from motorists not understanding the way to to make use of (be aware: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right adjacent to one another on the automobile.

Now, what is the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? As the product is predominantly deionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Furthermore, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Give us a call if you are suffering from AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to attend to all kinds of AdBlue contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is certainly an important issue to address in a car - especially in current day common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel is likely to trigger idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed effectively, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain in comparison with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both cases rather simply.

You should know however that if ever the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will likely be totally wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to a car or truck parking spot we will be able to access the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank lying in the back of your premises with unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to numerous private and commercial properties in North Yorkshire to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even several drums in a storage shed, assuming that we can get to it, we are able to drain it.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Oatlands (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a complete North Yorkshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to re-fill your vehicle in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home.
