It was before ten pm on a Thursday and while we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it hadn't given up on raining! Mark and I were resting there talking about the weekend's football results, prepared for the next fuel drain that day to come in. Finally we got a call from a young lady on a company trip who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling station in Scampston and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Mercedes hire car in error. The unfortunate thing was rather distressed it seemed, saying "I simply cannot believe I have ruined the vehicle! I am so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I had did not remember that I was running a diesel!" We advised her to relax and not to worry, and also that these things sadly often happen. She managed to get the vehicle into a secure spot and, since it was only a few miles from us, we were able to find the customer almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was removed so she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was lodging in. Even though we got very soaked, it was all worth it to see her drive home calm and much less apprehensive. A job in North Yorkshire done well in my mind!

Services Our Company Offers:

Below are the top services we give to our customers.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout North Yorkshire we have identified progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination when an individual has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly due to motorists being unsure of the right way to use it (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly next to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? As the product is mostly ionised water, it is as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Also, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Phone us if it turns out you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can easily take care of all kinds of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a significant condition to deal with in a vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel is likely to trigger idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of fully, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we can resolve both situations fairly simply.

Be aware that as long as the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to an automobile parking spot we are able to access the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel reservoir lying at the back of your premises with unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of private and commercial premises in North Yorkshire to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even numerous drums in a garage, provided that we can access it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Scampston (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a full North Yorkshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to refill your car any time you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at pump prices) to fill up your car. They are also able to fix any of the most common troubles which may go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or even flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Scampston - Scampston Petrol in Diesel

I had appreciated a perfect day hiking during the weekend and felt contented the following day as I set out to aid a new couple away in Scampston. They conked out after adding diesel into their Volvo, and the car was approximately an hour away. I arrived at their car and laughed while I listened to the gal telling off her husband for being so stupid. "Precisely how could you even find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she demanded of him. I attempted to explain that this occurs constantly in North Yorkshire and that it's nothing to get worried about, however he still got his ear bent by his better half. Poor lad. Anyway, I extracted the contaminated fuel, flushed the motor and filled them up with the correct fuel. Watching them drive away I shouted bon voyage and considered what her indoors would say to me if ever I made the very same mistake... I'd personally never hear the end of it!
