It was about 7 pm on a Tuesday and though we were assured a rainless afternoon, it had not ceased pouring! James and I were relaxing there talking over the recent sports results, waiting for the next telephone call of the day to come in. Before long we got a call from a lady on a business excursion who had pulled into the Esso petrol station in Kirby Misperton and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel BMW rental car. The poor thing was somewhat agitated it seemed, telling me "I simply cannot believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I am so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot I was operating a diesel!" I just instructed her to take it easy and not to fret, plus that such things unfortunately do happen. She managed to get the vehicle to a safe space and, as it was no more than a short distance away from our van, we were able to arrive at the woman fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was removed and she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was living at. Even though we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth it to see her drive away relaxed and a lot less anxious. One more misfuel correction in North Yorkshire done well in my mind!

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout North Yorkshire we have discovered more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially stemming from motorists being unsure of the right way to to make use of (important: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly close to one another on the automobile.

Now, what exactly is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition to this, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And most definitely do not turn over the vehicle - not even to move it into a parking spot. Assuming you have started the vehicle you will likely need to have the complete fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's petrol or diesel, is without question a significant issue to take care of in a vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Having water in your petrol or diesel can potentially result in idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied correctly, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can deal with both cases quite quickly.

Take note though that if ever the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will be completely water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. As long as the boat is either on land, or moored close to a car parking spot we can reach the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have carried out numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Got a fuel container sitting at the back of your garden containing out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous privately owned and commercial properties in North Yorkshire to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a few containers in a storage shed, if we are able to reach it, we are able to drain it for you.
