It was about eight pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry evening, it had not ceased raining! James and I were seated discussing the recent golf rankings, waiting for the seventh call to come in. Eventually we had a phone call from a girl on a company trip who had arrived at the Sainsburys petrol station in Scagglethorpe and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Dacia rental by mistake. She was rather agitated by the sounds of it, telling me "I simply cannot believe I have wrecked the car! I am just so familiar with filling up my petrol car I completely didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" We instructed her to take it easy and not to fret, and that things like this unfortunately can happen. She managed to move the vehicle into a safe spot and, since it was no more than a few minutes from the office, we were able to get to the customer fairly quickly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was staying in. Although we got really drenched, it was all worth the time seeing her drive home contented and not so anxious. Another fuel drain in North Yorkshire done well in my opinion!

Our Services:

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

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout North Yorkshire we have seen a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to some extent caused by people not knowing how to work with it (remember: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

So, what exactly is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it's just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And definitely never switch on the motor - not even to move it into a parking spot. If perhaps you did start the car you would likely need to have the whole fuel system purged and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a significant matter to take care of in a vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water in diesel or petrol may contribute to idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed properly, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to resolve both cases rather quickly.

Bear in mind though that any time the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we will be able to reach the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We have undertaken many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel reservoir sitting at the rear of your garden full of old, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to numerous domestic and business properties in North Yorkshire to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even some containers in a storage shed, provided that we can reach it, we can certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Scagglethorpe (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a comprehensive North Yorkshire Out of Fuel Service. We can come to re-fill your automobile any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) and fill up the car. They will deal with any of the most common problems which could go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or even dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Scagglethorpe - Scagglethorpe Wrong Fuel Doctor

I'd had a fantastic evening fishing during the weekend and was feeling satisfied the next morning as I set off to aid a new couple away in Scagglethorpe. They broken down after putting the wrong fuel into their Jaguar, and they were roughly half an hour's drive away. I emerged at their car and smiled to myself as I heard to the gal telling off her man for being so daft. "Exactly how could you actually find a way to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I attempted to tell her that this problem happens regularly in North Yorkshire and that it's actually absolutely nothing to get worried about, however he all the same had an ear bashing by his missus. Poor boy. Anyway, I extracted the contaminated fuel, flushed the motor and gave them some appropriate fuel. While watching them drive down the road I mouthed so long and wondered what my missus would ask me if I did the exact same thing... I'd never live it down!
