It was around 7 pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't given up on raining! Brian and me were sitting there discussing the weekend's sports results, at the ready for the 6th telephone call for the day to come in. In due time we got the call from a young lady on a company excursion who had pulled into the Shell filling garage in Knapton and put petrol in a diesel Porsche rental car by mistake. She was somewhat affected apparently, telling me "I simply can't believe I've wrecked the car! I am just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I totally did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I just instructed her to relax and not to worry, plus that such things unfortunately happen. She managed to maneuver the car to a protected space and, since it was only a few miles away from the office, we were able to reach the lady almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was removed and she could return to the Travelodge she was residing in. Although we got really drenched, it was all worthwhile to see her drive off relaxed and not so worried. Yet another job in North Yorkshire done well in my opinion!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over North Yorkshire we are noticing progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination when a person has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is mostly a result of people being unsure of the way to to make use of (please note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right next to each other on the car.

Now, what is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? As the product is mostly ionised water, it is like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition to this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained asap. And definitely don't start up the car - not even to shift it off the pump. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you will probably have to have the complete fuel system purged and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, tends to be a significant situation to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Having water in fuel tank is going to result in idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of fully, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of compared to water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both situations quite expediently.

You should know however that whenever the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one will be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to a vehicle parking bay we should be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel container laying in the back of your premises containing unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several domestic and business premises in North Yorkshire to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a few containers in an outbuilding, as long as we are able to get to it, we could certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Knapton (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a comprehensive North Yorkshire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to fill up your car any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump price) and refill your automobile. They can also fix the common troubles which can come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Knapton - Knapton Petrol in Diesel

The other day a driver telephoned us right after his Volvo broke down on a road in Knapton. He had inadvertently put petrol in the diesel car and was only able to get so far as the road before having to stop. It was actually in the early hours of the day and our technician, who resides not far away, reached him in about ten minutes. We were able to get rid of the incorrect fuel and put fresh diesel back in to the car. "Many kudos to you for your fast response, especially at 2 a.m., I truly am grateful for it."
