It was just before six pm on a Saturday and even though we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Dan and I were relaxing there discussing the weekend's tennis rankings, waiting around for the next telephone call of the day to arrive. Eventually we received the call from a lovely women on a company trip who had pulled into the Shell filling garage in Dunnington and filled petrol in her diesel Peugeot rental car in error. She was very irritated apparently, telling me "I just can't believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember that I was running a diesel!" I told her to relax and not to worry, and also that these things sadly happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle to a protected space and, because it was only a few minutes off from the office, we could reach the customer swiftly. The contaminated fuel was taken out so she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was staying at. Even though we got extremely drenched, it was all worthwhile to see her drive away contented and less worried. Yet another job in North Yorkshire well done in my mind!

Our Areas of Specialties:

These are the fuel mistakes services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In Your Diesel

What you can do in the event that you?ve poured Adblue in a Diesel fuel tank? AdBlue is a chemical made of a mixture of ionized water and urea.Adblue can be harmful to your vehicle's fuel system, particularly if you started the car with Adblue in the diesel tank. The moment the engine has been switched on the Adblue will likely be pulled into your fuel lines and will immediately begin to crystalise, resulting in devastating and costly problems to your car's fuel system.

If in case you put AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it asap. And absolutely never switch on the motor - not even to maneuver it into a parking place. In cases where you did start the car you may likely need to have the complete fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant issue to handle in an automobile - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Water in the fuel is likely to contribute to idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied properly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of compared to water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both circumstances rather quickly.

Keep in mind however that whenever the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the previous one will be completely water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or situated near to a vehicle parking bay we can reach the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel reservoir sitting in the rear of the garden with aged, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of privately owned and commercial properties in North Yorkshire for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even some containers in an outbuilding, providing we are able to reach it, we could certainly drain it.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Dunnington (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a full North Yorkshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to re-fill your vehicle in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump price) to fill your car. They will be able to deal with the common issues that might accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to start, and even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue Dunnington - Dunnington Fuel Drain

I appreciated a perfect afternoon golfing on my off day and felt satisfied with myself the following morning as I set off to help a new family who were vacationing in Dunnington. They had pulled over after putting petrol into their MINI, and were around half an hour away. I showed up at their position and smirked while I heard to the girl telling her spouse off for turning out to be so confused. "Exactly how could you even be able to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I attempted to explain that this situation goes on quite frequently in North Yorkshire and that it is absolutely nothing to worry about, even so he all the same had his ear bent by his better half. Unlucky chap. Anyhow, I extracted the polluted fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled it up with the correct fuel. While watching them drive down the road I mouthed bon voyage and thought about what my wife would say to me if I made the same blunder... I would personally under no circumstances live it down!
