It was just after seven pm on a Tuesday and although we were promised a dry and fresh day, it hadn't ceased pouring! Dan and I were relaxing going over the recent golf, waiting for the seventh telephone call for the day to arrive. In due time we had the phone call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had pulled into the Esso petrol garage in Overton and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Mitsubishi rental. The unfortunate lady was somewhat distressed it seemed, stating "I simply can't believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I had did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" We advised her to settle back and not to fret, and that things like this happen. She was able to get the car into a safe position and, seeing as it was no more than a few miles away from our van, we could reach the lady rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could return to the motel she was residing in. Even though we got really wet, it was all worth it to watch her drive off calm and not so concerned. One more job in North Yorkshire well done in my books!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout North Yorkshire we are finding progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is in part thanks to people being unsure of the way to work with it (note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right near to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what's the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Since AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Apart from this, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

Assuming you put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained immediately. And certainly do not switch on the vehicle - not even to move it off of the pump. In the event that you did start the vehicle you would probably need to have the complete fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a significant issue to address in an automobile - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your fuel tank will likely lead to idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of fully, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove when compared with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to solve both circumstances pretty quickly.

Take note however that any time the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be installed because the previous one will undoubtedly be totally wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to a vehicle parking bay we can access the storage and drain out the fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel reservoir placed at the back of your garden with out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and commercial premises in North Yorkshire for the purpose of taking away 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. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or possibly even several containers in a garage, assuming that we can get to it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Overton (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a full North Yorkshire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to re-fill your car any time you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at cost) and fill up your car. They will handle the most common issues which could come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or maybe dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Overton - Overton Fuel Drain

Yesterday a driver called us soon after his Kia died along a road in Overton. He had unintentionally put petrol in the diesel vehicle and got so far as the road before needing to stop. It was actually early in the day and our technician, who lives locally, arrived with him in approximately 20 minutes. We managed to take out the incorrect fuel and put fresh diesel back in to the car. "Sincere thanks to you for your immediate response, especially at 6 a.m., I genuinely am grateful for it."
