Our Areas of Competency :

Here are the top services we give to our customers.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout North Yorkshire we are finding a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to some extent as a consequence of people not being totally sure the way to work with it (important: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly near to one another on the car.

Well, precisely what is the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Additionally, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out at the earliest opportunity. And of course don't crank the vehicle - not even to maneuver it from the pump. If you did start the car you would probably need to have the complete fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a serious situation to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water inside your fuel can result in idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out effectively, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove in comparison with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. However we can handle both cases quite easily.

Be aware that whenever the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the old one will be totally water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. Providing the boat is either on land, or parked near to a motor vehicle parking spot we will be able to reach the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir in the back of your premises with unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous private and business properties in North Yorkshire to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps several drums in a shed, if we can access it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

We are able to come to refill your automobile in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home.
