It was just before 5 pm on a Monday and while we were assured a dry and fresh night, it had not stopped pouring! Ray and I were resting going over the rugby results, ready for the 8th job to arrive. Finally we got a call from a girl on a business excursion who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol garage in Lower Dunsforth and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Ford lease car by mistake. She was somewhat troubled it seemed, telling me "I still can't believe that I've destroyed the car! I'm so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just advised her to calm down and not to be concerned, and also that such things often happen. She was able to relocate the car to a safe area and, seeing that it was just a few minutes away from us, we were able to reach the woman rather quickly. The bad fuel was removed and she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was living at. Even though we got pretty soaked, it was all worth the time to see her drive home calm and less worried. One more job in North Yorkshire well done in my opinion!

Services We Offer:

Here's a list of the incorrect fuel services we offer.

AdBlue Contamination

All over North Yorkshire we have encountered more and more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is partially as a result of drivers not being aware of the way to work with it (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and partly because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly close to one another on the automobile.

So, what exactly is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is actually just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Furthermore, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you put AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it immediately. And definitely don't switch on the car - not even to relocate it from the pump. In cases where you did start the car you may very likely need to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious matter to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Having water in petrol or diesel can contribute to idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed correctly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both circumstances very expediently.

Be aware though that any time the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will likely be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to a car or truck parking bay we should be able to reach the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel container in the rear of the garden containing unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and business properties in North Yorkshire to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or even some containers in a garage, as long as we can access it, we are able to drain it.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Lower Dunsforth (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a complete North Yorkshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to refill your car any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) and fill up your automobile. They will be able to handle the typical issues that may come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, and even flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Lower Dunsforth - Lower Dunsforth Fuel Removal

A customer contacted us from his residence on a road in Lower Dunsforth. He said, "My vehicle (a Citroen) is not starting and is creating awful sounds when I flip the key." He said that he put unleaded in his diesel car however thought he would resolve the issue by putting further Diesel on top. We arrived quickly, did the fuel drain and filled it up again with fresh Diesel. He told us after that he'd be sure to educate people not to fill up over the incorrect fuel but to have it drained promptly.
