It was about 10 pm on a Saturday and though we were promised a rainless evening, it hadn't ceased raining! Ryan and I were resting there talking over the weekend's golf results, prepared for the 6th call of the day to arrive. In due time we got the call from a lady on a business trip who had gone to the Tesco petrol garage in Whitby and put petrol in a diesel Volvo lease car. The poor thing was pretty distressed it seemed, crying "I simply cannot believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I'm just so used to putting petrol in my petrol car that I totally forgot I was operating a diesel!" We told her to calm down and not to worry, and that things like this do happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle into a secure position and, since it was only a few miles away from where we were, we could reach her right away. The bad fuel was drained and she could go home to the hotel she was living at. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worthwhile to see her drive away satisfied and not so stressed. A fuel drain in North Yorkshire done well in my mind!

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout North Yorkshire we have found more and more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is in part due to drivers not being totally sure the way to to make use of (pay attention: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly next to one another on the vehicle.

Now, precisely what is the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing that the product is predominantly ionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Also, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

In case you put AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it asap. And definitely don't crank the motor - not even to move it off of the pump. In case you did start the car you would most likely have to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious issue to address in an automobile - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Water in the fuel is likely to bring about idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed fully, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out when compared with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both circumstances very quickly.

Keep in mind though that any time the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one will probably be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to an automobile parking bay we can reach the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel tank lying in the rear of the garden containing aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous private and business premises in North Yorkshire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even a number of drums in an outbuilding, providing we can access it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Whitby (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a complete North Yorkshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can help to fill up your car any time you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump price) to fill your car. They can also deal with the typical problems that might go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.
