It was just before 10 pm on a Monday and even though we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Paul and me were relaxing there talking about the sports results, ready for the 8th job of the day to arrive. Finally we had a phone call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had arrived at the Esso filling garage in Howgill and put petrol in her diesel Mercedes rental car. She was pretty agitated by the sounds of it, stating "I still can't believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling up my petrol car that I completely forgot that I was using a diesel!" I just asked her to take it easy and not to worry, plus that these things do happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle to a safe spot and, seeing that it was just a few miles away from where we were, we were able to get to the lady right away. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to get back to the motel she was residing in. Although we got very drenched, it was all worthwhile to see her drive home calm and not so apprehensive. Yet another misfuel correction in North Yorkshire well done in my books!

Here are the top services we offer to our clients.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout North Yorkshire we are finding increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination where somebody has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is partially thanks to people not being totally sure the right way to use it (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually right adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

Now, precisely what is the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Because the product is predominantly ionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Additionally, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained as quickly as possible. And certainly don't start up the car - not even to shift it into a parking spot. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you may very likely have to have the whole fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly a significant situation to take care of in a motor vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water in petrol or diesel can easily cause idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not addressed fully, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to take care of both situations very easily.

Remember however that so long as the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we will 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.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container laying in the back of your garden full of old, useless or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of private and industrial premises in North Yorkshire to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even several drums in a storage shed, as long as we can get to it, we could certainly empty it.

Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Howgill (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a comprehensive North Yorkshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to fill up your vehicle if you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at pump price) and fill up your vehicle. They will handle the typical troubles which may go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, and even dead batteries caused by over-cranking.
