It was before 5 pm on a Saturday and although we were promised a dry evening, it had not ceased raining! Ray and I were resting there talking about the recent footy results, prepared for the next job to arrive. Finally we got the phone call from a woman on a company excursion who had gone to the BP filling station in Helm and filled petrol in a diesel Vauxhall lease car in error. The unfortunate thing was quite distressed it seemed, stating "I simply cannot believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling up my petrol car I completely forgot I was driving a diesel!" I asked her to relax and not to worry, and also that things like this regrettably often happen. She managed to get the car into a protected space and, since it was just a few miles off from where we were, we were able to find the lady without delay. The incorrect fuel was taken out and she could return to the motel she was living in. Despite the fact that we got really drenched, it was all rewarding seeing her drive home contented and a lot less concerned. One more misfuel correction in North Yorkshire done well in my opinion!

Our Areas of Competence :

This is exactly what we do best.

AdBlue In Diesel

All around North Yorkshire we are encountering an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination where somebody has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part thanks to drivers not being totally sure the way to work with it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly next to one another on the automobile.

Now, what exactly is the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel car? As AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Also, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it as soon as possible. And definitely be careful not to start up the motor - not even to relocate it to a parking place. Assuming you did start the vehicle you may almost certainly need to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly an important issue to deal with in a vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Water in your petrol or diesel is likely to trigger idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed fully, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain when compared with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can handle both circumstances very easily.

Be aware that so long as the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will be completely water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked near to parking spot we are able to access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank laying at the rear of the garden full of old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of private and industrial properties in North Yorkshire to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a few containers in a storage shed, if we can get to it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Helm (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a full North Yorkshire Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to fill up your automobile in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at cost) and refill the car. They will be able to deal with any of the most common problems which can go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
