It was just after eight pm on a Tuesday and though we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Ryan and me were sitting there discussing the recent sports results, ready for the 6th telephone call for the day to come in. In due time we received a phone call from a woman on a business excursion who had gone to the BP filling garage in Bilbrough and filled petrol in a diesel Ford hire car. She was fairly agitated by the sounds of it, telling me "I just can't believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I completely didn't remember I was running a diesel!" I just instructed her to calm down and not to be concerned, plus that these things sadly can happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle to a secure position and, since it was no more than a short distance from our van, we were able to arrive at her rather quickly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could return to the motel she was living at. Although we got extremely wet, it was all rewarding seeing her drive off relaxed and a lot less stressed. One more job in North Yorkshire well done in my books!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In North Yorkshire we are discovering more and more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partially a result of drivers not being aware of how to use it (note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly near to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what exactly is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing that AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water don't blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Furthermore, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it asap. And most definitely don't switch on the vehicle - not even to shift it to a parking bay. If perhaps you did start the car you may most likely need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, tends to be a significant condition to address in an automobile - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water in petrol or diesel may well bring about idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied effectively, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to drain when compared with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to resolve both cases quite quickly.

Keep in mind however that if the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. So long as the boat is either on land, or secured close to a car or truck parking spot we will be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've completed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir sitting in the back of your garden with out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous private and industrial premises in North Yorkshire to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or even a few containers in an outbuilding, if we are able to reach it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Bilbrough (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a complete North Yorkshire Out of Fuel Service. We can come to refill your car in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at pump price) and fill your vehicle. They can also handle any of the common problems which may go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or even flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Bilbrough - Bilbrough Vehicle Misfuel

I had appreciated a fantastic afternoon golfing during the weekend and felt satisfied the following day as I set off to help a young family away in Bilbrough. They'd pulled over after filling petrol in their Mercedes, and were around an hour away. I showed up at their location and smiled to myself while I listened to the wife telling her husband off for turning out to be so daft. "How could you even manage to fill the vehicle up using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I wanted to explain that this kind of thing occurs constantly in North Yorkshire and that it's truly nothing to be anxious about, even so he in spite of everything got an ear bashing by his wife. I felt genuine sympathy for the boy. Anyway, I cleaned up and removed all of the contaminated fuel, flushed the engine and gave them some appropriate fuel. Watching while they drove down the road I mouthed hasta la vista and thought about what my wife would ask me if perhaps I made the very same blunder... I would never live it down!
