And we adhere to them meticulously. Irrespective of wherever you are in Picton or the UK we can come to you to drain your car.

It was about ten pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry evening, it had not given up on pouring! Ray and I were resting discussing the recent footy rankings, prepared for the next fuel drain of the day to arrive. Inevitably we received the call from a woman on a business trip who had gone to the BP filling garage in Picton and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Porsche hire car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was very affected by the sounds of it, telling me "I can't believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I'm so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car I completely did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I just told her to calm down and not to be concerned, and also that such things sadly often happen. She managed to move the vehicle to a safe position and, as it was only a short distance from where we were, we could get to the customer fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to return to the hotel she was living in. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth it to see her drive home relaxed and a lot less concerned. Another fuel drain in North Yorkshire done well in my books!

AdBlue Contamination

All over North Yorkshire we have identified a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is in part as a consequence of drivers not being totally sure how to to make use of (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right close to each other on the automobile.

Well, what is the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

In case you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it as soon as possible. And definitely take care not to crank the engine - not even to move it away from the pump. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you would almost certainly have to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a significant condition to address in a vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank can certainly lead to idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of properly, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out when compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both circumstances quite expediently.

You should know that as long as the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will undoubtedly be completely wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to an automobile parking bay we can access the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We have completed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel container sitting at the rear of your garden full of aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few private and commercial properties in North Yorkshire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even numerous drums in a storage shed, if we can access it, we are able to empty it.

Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Picton (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a complete North Yorkshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to re-fill your vehicle in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at cost) to fill the car. They can also deal with the most common problems that might go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Fuel Removal Picton - Picton Fuel Drain

A guy had broken down near a street in Picton. His Mercedes engine had ceased running and he had no idea what was the problem right up until he noticed he put petrol in his diesel vehicle. He phoned us to get a fuel drain and it was then when he explained to us: "I can't believe that I did not realise that I had put the incorrect fuel in my vehicle." He said that he had got virtually no sleep the evening before and that could have been why.
