AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout North Yorkshire we have discovered more and more instances of AdBlue contamination when a person has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially as a consequence of drivers not knowing the way to use it (please note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly next to each other on the automobile.

Now, exactly what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Because the product is predominantly deionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Also, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

In the case you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out right away. And most definitely be careful not to crank the motor - not even to relocate it to a parking bay. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you would probably have to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious issue to address in a car - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel tank can cause idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of fully, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out as compared to water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to resolve both cases pretty simply.

Bear in mind however that so long as the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one is going to be wholly water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to parking spot we will be able to gain access to the tanks and remove the fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank in the rear of your garden containing old, useless or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many privately owned and commercial premises in North Yorkshire to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even some drums in a shed, if we are able to get to it, we are able to drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Thornton-in-Craven (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a complete North Yorkshire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to refill your vehicle in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump price) to fill your vehicle. They will be able to take care of any of the normal problems which may come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.


Wrong Fuel Doctor Thornton-in-Craven - Thornton-in-Craven Vehicle Misfuel

I appreciated a great evening golfing on my afternoon off and felt satisfied with myself the following morning as I headed out to aid a young couple holidaying in Thornton-in-Craven. They'd conked out after putting petrol into their Skoda, and they were close to an hour away. I turned up at their car and laughed to myself while I listened to the lady berating her man for being so daft. "Exactly how could you actually manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she demanded of him. I tried to clarify that this kind of thing comes to pass regularly in North Yorkshire and that it's absolutely nothing to fret about, but he all the same got an ear bashing by his better half. Unfortunate chap. Anyhow, I removed all the wrong fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave them some correct fuel. Watching as they drove off I waved good bye and pondered on what my wife would tell me if I made the very same error... I'd never hear the end of it!

We have technicians on call in the vicinity completely ready and waiting to turn up and drain your automobile of the wrong fuel or polluted fuel. We run 24/7 every day of the year. All of our experts are thoroughly competent and experienced in dealing with all kinds of motor vehicles.

We were contacted by a individual whose Mitsubishi had broken down on a road after a misfuel. "I got the pumps mixed up and put the wrong fuel in my car in error. You arrived and resolved the matter right after my vehicle stopped." We drained the wrong fuel from the diesel tank and flushed the fuel system meticulously afterwards and the driver could continue with his deliveries.

A driver who had unluckily put the wrong fuel in his diesel Jaguar contacted us for assistance at the Shell petrol filling station in Thornton-in-Craven. He decided to fill up before proceeding on to the nearby caravan park but had put the wrong fuel in his car. "I put petrol rather than diesel which wasn't a good start to our holiday break." It was definitely no challenge whatsoever for our engineer to go along and do the fuel drain. We hope they enjoyed their holiday.

Fuel Drain Thornton-in-Craven - Thornton-in-Craven Wrong Fuel Doctor

A customer had broken down near a road in Thornton-in-Craven. His Honda engine had ceased running and he had no clue what was awry till he noticed he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel car. He called us to request a fuel drain and that's when he told us: "I cannot believe that I did not know that I had put the incorrect fuel in my car." He claimed that he had got virtually no rest the day before and that must have been why.
