It was after ten pm on a Thursday and even though we were promised a rainless afternoon, it had not stopped raining! Ryan and me were seated commenting on the sports rankings, prepared for the 6th job for the day to arrive. Finally we got a call from a lady on a company expedition who had arrived at the BP filling garage in Boulby and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Nissan hire car by mistake. She was very agitated apparently, saying "I still can't believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm so used to filling my petrol car I had forgot I was using a diesel!" I instructed her to take it easy and not to worry, and also that things like this sadly can happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle into a protected area and, because it was only a short distance from where we were, we were able to find the customer almost instantly. The bad fuel was extracted and she could go home to the Travelodge she was residing in. Despite the fact that we got extremely wet, it was all rewarding to see her drive home contented and much less stressed. A fuel drain in North Yorkshire done well in my mind!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over North Yorkshire we are encountering a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a driver has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part due to drivers being unsure of the way to use it (please note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly close to each other on the automobile.

Well, what's the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing that the product is mostly deionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Furthermore, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

If you find you put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it out at once. And certainly be careful not to start the motor - not even to shift it to a parking area. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you may almost certainly need to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is in many cases an important matter to take care of in an automobile - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Water in your diesel or petrol may result in idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of fully, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can solve both circumstances very easily.

Be aware however that if ever the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will likely be wholly wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to a car or truck parking bay we will be able to access the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Vehicle Misfuel Boulby - Boulby Fuel Removal

I had enjoyed a perfect afternoon fishing during the weekend and was feeling satisfied with myself the following day as I headed out to assist a young family who were vacationing in Boulby. They'd broken down after filling the wrong fuel in their Honda, and they were about an hour's drive away. I arrived at their car and smiled while I heard to the girl telling her partner off for being so silly. "Precisely how could you conceivably manage to fill the vehicle up by using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I wanted to tell her that this situation comes to pass quite frequently in North Yorkshire and that it's absolutely nothing to be anxious about, nonetheless he all the same had his ear bent by his wife. Unfortunate lad. At any rate, I extracted the contaminated fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave them some proper fuel. Watching as they drove away I shouted goodbye and wondered what my wife would tell me if perhaps I made the same mistake... I would never ever live it down!
