It was about six pm on a Tuesday and though we were assured a dry afternoon, it had not stopped raining! Brian and I were sitting commenting on the weekend's golf rankings, at the ready for the 8th job to arrive. In due time we had a call from a woman on a company expedition who had pulled into the BP petrol garage in Caldwell and filled petrol in a diesel Peugeot rental. She was quite irritated apparently, saying "I can't believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I had forgot I was driving a diesel!" We told her to relax and not to worry, also that things like this unfortunately do happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle to a secure spot and, since it was just a short distance off from where we were, we were able to get to the woman swiftly. The bad fuel was removed so she could get back to the hotel she was living in. Despite the fact we got fairly soaked, it was all worth the time to see her drive away contented and less apprehensive. A misfuel correction in North Yorkshire well done in my mind!

We are all set to take the wrong fuel work.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout North Yorkshire we are noticing a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination when a person has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partially stemming from motorists not understanding the right way to work with it (take note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right near to each other on the automobile.

Well, precisely what is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Since AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Additionally, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

If you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it as quickly as possible. And absolutely take care not to start the car - not even to move it off the pump. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you would most likely need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is actually a serious issue to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Water in your fuel tank is likely to result in idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not addressed properly, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove as compared with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both cases quite easily.

Remember however that so long as the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to an automobile parking spot we will be able to reach the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank sitting at the rear of your premises containing aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and industrial properties in North Yorkshire for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps several drums in a garage, if we can get to it, we can drain it.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Caldwell (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a comprehensive North Yorkshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to fill up your vehicle any time you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) to fill up your car. They will take care of any of the common problems which might come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as dead batteries due to over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Caldwell, North Yorkshire

Wrong Fuel Caldwell - Caldwell Vehicle Misfuel

A customer had broken down near a road in Caldwell. His Kia car had ceased operating and he had no clue what was wrong until eventually he realised he put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle. He rang us to request a fuel drain and it was then when he explained to us: "I can't believe that I did not know that I put the wrong fuel in my car." He claimed that he had got virtually no sleep the night before and that must have been precisely why.
