It was around seven pm on a Saturday and even though we were assured a dry and fresh day, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ray and I were sitting going over the weekend's tennis rankings, prepared for the sixth job that day to come in. Before long we received a phone call from a lovely women on a business expedition who had gone to the Esso filling station in Stainforth and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Smart hire car in error. She was somewhat irritated it seemed, telling me "I simply cannot believe I've wrecked the car! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I just told her to take it easy and not to be concerned, also that these things sadly can happen. She was able to get the car to a protected position and, as it was just a few minutes away from our van, we were able to reach the lady right away. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was living at. Although we got really drenched, it was all rewarding to watch her drive away relaxed and a lot less apprehensive. A job in North Yorkshire done well in my mind!

Services We Offer:

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

AdBlue Contamination

All around North Yorkshire we are noticing progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination where an individual has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent due to motorists being unsure of the right way to work with it (please note: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right near to one another on the car.

So, what is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? As AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water will not blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

Call us if you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to fix all types of AdBlue contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a significant condition to address in a vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Water inside your petrol or diesel may cause idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of fully, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to handle both cases quite quickly.

Keep in mind that as long as the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will be completely wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Providing the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to a car parking spot we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir laying in the back of your premises containing aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many private and business properties in North Yorkshire for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a few drums in a shed, assuming that we can access it, we can drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Stainforth (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a comprehensive North Yorkshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to re-fill your vehicle in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump prices) to refill your car. They are also able to fix any of the normal problems which may go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or even flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue Stainforth - Stainforth Petrol in Diesel

A guy had stopped near a street in Stainforth. His Ford motor had stopped operating and he had no idea what was faulty until he noticed he had put petrol in his diesel vehicle. He rang us to request a fuel drain and that's when he informed us: "I can't believe that I didn't know that I had put the wrong fuel in my vehicle." He claimed that he had gotten zero rest the evening before and that must have been the key reason why.
