It was around 5 pm on a Wednesday and although we were guaranteed a rainless day, it hadn't ceased pouring! Paul and me were sitting there discussing the recent tennis rankings, prepared for the 6th fuel drain to arrive. Finally we got a call from a lovely women on a company expedition who had arrived at the Texaco filling station in South Otterington and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Volkswagen rental in error. She was fairly irritated it seemed, stating "I can not believe I've messed up the car! I'm so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I totally did not remember I was using a diesel!" We advised her to settle back and not to be concerned, plus that such things happen. She was able to relocate the car into a secure area and, because it was just a few minutes off from the office, we were able to reach the customer rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was staying at. Despite the fact we got extremely drenched, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive away calm and a lot less worried. One more fuel drain in North Yorkshire done well in my opinion!

Our Services:

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In your Fuel

What you can do in case you may have poured Adblue in your Diesel fuel tank? AdBlue is a liquid that?s composed of a blend of ionized water and urea (32.5%).Adblue can be damaging to your automobile's fuel system, specifically any time you run the engine with Adblue in your tank. Once the engine has been switched on the Adblue will be injected into the fuel lines and will quickly begin to crystalise, resulting in serious and expensive damage to your vehicle's fuel system.

If you find you put AdBlue in your fuel tank remove it as quickly as possible. And most certainly be careful not to start up the vehicle - not even to relocate it into a parking spot. Assuming you have started the vehicle you may almost certainly need to have the full fuel system purged and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, can be a significant matter to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel can produce idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with correctly, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out compared to water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to deal with both circumstances quite swiftly.

Keep in mind though that if the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to a vehicle parking bay we will be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Got a fuel container laying in the rear of your premises containing unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to numerous domestic and business properties in North Yorkshire to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even some drums in a storage shed, providing we can reach it, we can drain it for you.

Out of fuel in South Otterington (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a complete North Yorkshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to fill up your vehicle any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at home.
