It was about 8 pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Paul and I were seated talking about the tennis, at the ready for the sixth call for the day to arrive. In due time we had a phone call from a woman on a business excursion who had gone to the Sainsburys filling garage in Thorpe Underwood and put petrol in a diesel Audi hire car by mistake. The poor lady was very agitated it seemed, saying "I simply cannot believe that I have destroyed the car! I am just so used to filling my petrol vehicle I totally did not remember I was driving a diesel!" We instructed her to settle back and not to fret, and that things like this sadly often happen. She managed to get the vehicle into a safe area and, seeing as it was just a few minutes away from the office, we were able to reach the woman without delay. The contaminated fuel was extracted and she was able to return to the Travelodge she was residing in. Even though we got thoroughly wet, it was all rewarding to watch her drive off contented and a lot less stressed. Yet another job in North Yorkshire well done in my opinion!

Our Fields of Specialties: Services Our Company Offers:

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

AdBlue In Diesel

All around North Yorkshire we have identified progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a person has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree caused by motorists being unsure of the right way to work with it (note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually right near to each other on the car.

So, what's the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Because the product is mainly deionised water, it's just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

In case you put AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And certainly never switch on the vehicle - not even to maneuver it to a parking area. In cases where you have started the car you would in all likelihood need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly a significant condition to address in an automobile - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel can easily result in idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of properly, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out than water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both cases rather quickly.

Take note that if ever the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to parking bay we will be able to gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have succesfully done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir sitting in the back of your premises full of unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of privately owned and industrial premises in North Yorkshire for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps a few drums in an outbuilding, providing we are able to get to it, we can drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Thorpe Underwood (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a comprehensive North Yorkshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to fill up your vehicle if you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) to fill up your automobile. They are also able to deal with the standard issues which might go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to start, and even dead batteries because of over-cranking.
