It was just after 5 pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it had not stopped raining! James and I were resting there going over the tennis, prepared for the sixth job of the day to come in. Eventually we had a phone call from a young lady on a business trip who had arrived at the BP filling garage in Thirsk and put petrol in her diesel Renault hire car by mistake. She was very distressed it seemed, telling me "I simply can't believe that I've ruined the car! I'm so familiar with filling up my petrol car I had didn't remember I was running a diesel!" We asked her to take it easy and not to fret, and also that these things regrettably can happen. She had managed to get the vehicle into a protected space and, seeing that it was no more than a few miles away from us, we could reach her without delay. The wrong fuel was drained and she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was lodging at. Despite the fact we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive away relaxed and much less worried. Another misfuel correction in North Yorkshire well done in my mind!

AdBlue In your Fuel

How to handle it if you may have put Adblue into your Diesel tank? AdBlue is a liquid that is composed of a blend of high-purity deionized water and urea (32.5%).It can be harmful to your automobile's fuel system, specifically if you run the engine with Adblue in the tank. Whenever the engine has been started up the Adblue will undoubtedly be squirted into your fuel lines and will swiftly start to crystalise, triggering serious and costly problems to your vehicle's fuel system.

If you find you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it immediately. And certainly be careful not to crank the engine - not even to relocate it to a parking area. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you will in all likelihood have to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is usually a serious condition to deal with in a vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Water in your diesel or petrol can easily cause idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with fully, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can solve both circumstances rather easily.

Keep in mind though that any time the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be fitted as the previous one will probably be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to an automobile parking bay we can access the storage and remove the fuel. We have carried out quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container laying in the back of your garden containing aged, useless or degraded fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of private and commercial properties in North Yorkshire to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even several drums in a storage shed, if we can access it, we can drain it.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Thirsk (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a full North Yorkshire Out of Fuel Service. We can help to refill your automobile in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at pump prices) and refill your vehicle. They will fix the common problems that may go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to start, and even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Thirsk - Thirsk Wrong Fuel Doctor

A man contacted us from his place on a road in Thirsk. He exclaimed, "My car (a Land Rover) is not running and is making awful sounds when I turn the ignition." He confessed that he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle but then imagined he would fix the issue by putting further Diesel on top. We got there promptly, performed the fuel drain and filled him up once more with fresh Diesel. He told us that he'd be absolutely sure to tell people not to fill up on top of the wrong fuel but to get it cleaned out immediately.
