We can assist you with all these mis-fuel mistakes.

AdBlue Contamination

All around North Yorkshire we have identified a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent thanks to motorists being unsure of the way to work with it (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually right next to one another on the automobile.

Well, what is the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Since AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it asap. And definitely take care not to turn over the vehicle - not even to relocate it into a parking place. In the event that you did start the vehicle you may probably have to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is actually an important matter to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Water in your fuel tank will likely cause idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not sorted out fully, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both cases quite quickly.

Bear in mind though that in the event that the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will likely be totally wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to a vehicle parking bay we are able to gain access to the storage and remove the fuel. We've succesfully done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container laying in the rear of the garden with out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous privately owned and industrial properties in North Yorkshire to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a number of drums in a garage, as long as we are able to access it, we are able to empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Thorns (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a complete North Yorkshire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to refill your automobile in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at pump price) and refill your car. They will take care of any of the typical issues that may come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or maybe dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Thorns - Thorns Wrong Fuel

A couple weeks ago a man telephoned us soon after his Mazda broke down in the middle of a street in Thorns. He had by mistake put petrol in the diesel vehicle and drove so far as the street before needing to give up. It was actually in the early hours of the morning and our technical engineer, who lives nearby, was with him in less than ten minutes. We managed to drain the wrong fuel and put clean diesel once again into the vehicle. "Thank you for your fast response, especially at 4 a.m., I really appreciate it."
