It was after five pm on a Thursday and though we were assured a rainless afternoon, it hadn't ceased pouring! Paul and I were seated there going over the weekend's footy, waiting for the sixth call that day to come in. Finally we had the phone call from a girl on a business trip who had arrived at the Tesco petrol garage in Ellerburn and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Nissan hire car. The poor lady was somewhat irritated apparently, saying "I can't believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling my petrol car I had didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" I told her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and also that things like this happen. She managed to relocate the car to a secure space and, since it was just a few minutes from our van, we could find the customer rather quickly. The bad fuel was drained and she could once again go back to the motel she was lodging at. Despite the fact we got pretty wet, it was all rewarding seeing her drive off contented and much less worried. A fuel drain in North Yorkshire well done in my mind!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around North Yorkshire we have found increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part due to people not knowing how to to make use of (take note: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly next to each other on the car.

Now, what is the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Because the product is mainly ionised water, it is just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Moreover, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

In case you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it right away. And absolutely do not crank the engine - not even to relocate it into a parking area. In case you have started the vehicle you would in all probability have to have the whole fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is without question an important matter to address in a vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel may well contribute to idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed fully, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove in comparison with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to handle both circumstances fairly quickly.

Remember that any time the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will probably be completely wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or secured near to a car or truck parking spot we can access the tanks and drain out the fuel. We've succesfully done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

We have been called out to a number of domestic and business premises in North Yorkshire to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages.

Vehicle Misfuel Ellerburn - Ellerburn Wrong Fuel in Car

A customer contacted us from his residence on a road in Ellerburn. He exclaimed, "My vehicle (a Vauxhall) is not running and is creating terrible sounds when I turn the ignition." He said that he had put unleaded in his diesel car but then believed he would fix the problem by putting additional Diesel on top. We arrived quickly, carried out the drain and filled him up once again with clean Diesel. He told us that he'd be sure to tell people not to fill up on top of the wrong fuel but to have it drained immediately.
