It was around 5 pm on a Saturday and even though we were guaranteed a dry night, it hadn't ceased raining! Ray and I were seated there talking over the recent golf rankings, waiting for the next call of the day to arrive. Before long we got the call from a young lady on a business expedition who had pulled into the Texaco filling station in Coniston Cold and put the wrong fuel in a diesel BMW rental car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was somewhat agitated it seemed, saying "I simply can't believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I completely did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" We instructed her to calm down and not to be concerned, and that these things can happen. She was able to relocate the car to a protected spot and, as it was no more than a few miles from where we were, we could find the customer without delay. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could return to the hotel she was residing at. Despite the fact we got pretty drenched, it was all worth the effort to see her drive off satisfied and much less anxious. Yet another job in North Yorkshire done well in my books!

Here are the top services we deliver to our clients.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over North Yorkshire we are encountering more and more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly as a result of drivers not being totally sure the right way to to make use of (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly adjacent to one another on the automobile.

Well, precisely what is the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition to this, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

If you find you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And certainly don't switch on the engine - not even to shift it to a parking spot. If you did start the vehicle you would almost certainly need to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is certainly an important condition to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines. Putting water in fuel tank may well trigger idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed fully, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both cases pretty swiftly.

Take note though that so long as the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will probably be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to a vehicle parking spot we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

We've been called out to a number of privately owned and business properties in North Yorkshire for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally.
