It was close to ten pm on a Monday and even though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't ceased raining! Mark and me were seated talking over the weekend's sports, prepared for the next fuel drain of the day to come in. Before long we got a call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol station in Long Preston and put petrol in a diesel Lexus rental car in error. She was pretty distressed by the sounds of it, telling me "I cannot believe that I have messed up the car! I'm just so used to filling up my petrol car I completely forgot I was running a diesel!" I just asked her to relax and not to worry, also that such things regrettably do happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle to a safe space and, since it was only a short distance from our van, we could reach her rather quickly. The bad fuel was taken out so she could get back to the Premier Inn she was living in.

Services We Deliver:
Here is a list of the wrong fuel services we provide.
AdBlue In Diesel
In North Yorkshire we have seen a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent a result of motorists being unsure of the way to use it (please note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly near to one another on the vehicle.
Now, what's the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel car? As AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is actually just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Furthermore, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.
Contact us if you are suffering from AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can correct every type of AdBlue liquid contamination.
Fuel contaminated with water
Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, can be a serious condition to take care of in a vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Water in the fuel will likely bring about idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of fully, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of compared to water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both cases fairly expediently.
You should know though that any time the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted as the previous one is going to be wholly water-logged and useless.
Marine Fuel Drains
In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to an automobile parking bay we are able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have undertaken many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}
Waste Fuel Removal

We have been called out to numerous privately owned and business premises in North Yorkshire for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages.

Now I am not ever so enthusiastic about working Sundays, and a couple weeks ago was no different. I had only just come away from home filled with a superb dinner cooked by the wife, and I was on my way to sort out a fellow because he put the incorrect fuel in his Hyundai. He was situated in Long Preston thus it wasn't long before I arrived with him. Just as I arrived at the vehicle and got out he explained to me "Thank God! I had my concentration on stuff and didn't grasp that I've put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. I need to know if I brought on harm as a result of starting it?" I stated there shouldn't be harm and also that I would drain the contaminated fuel quickly. Obviously I removed the wrong fuel from the vehicle and put in some appropriate fuel, and so yet another happy client had the ability to continue on their journey without the need for hassle. The man could hardly stop thanking me, and that is what can make working on weekends in North Yorkshire a tiny bit easier for me!
