Our crew of SPA certified mechanics are accessible 24 hours a day to help you at the roadside with the right gear to carry out a fuel drain on your vehicle rapidly.

It was close to eight pm on a Wednesday and although we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it had not given up on raining! Ray and me were resting talking about the weekend's sports rankings, prepared for the 8th fuel drain that day to come in. In due time we got a call from a girl on a business trip who had pulled into the BP filling garage in Walkerville and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Toyota lease car in error. She was quite agitated apparently, telling me "I still can't believe I've ruined the car! I am so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I totally forgot that I was operating a diesel!" We advised her to relax and not to worry, plus that such things sadly can happen. She managed to move the car into a protected space and, since it was no more than a few minutes from the office, we could get to the woman fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was extracted and she could once again go back to the motel she was living in. Despite the fact we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive off contented and not so apprehensive. One more fuel drain in North Yorkshire well done in my opinion!

Our Areas of Competency :

Below are our top services we give to our customers.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around North Yorkshire we are encountering progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mainly as a consequence of people not knowing the way to to make use of (important: it's not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right close to one another on the car.

So, what's the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Since AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And certainly never turn over the motor - not even to move it to a parking spot. In the instance that you have started the car you would most likely need to have the full fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is without question an important condition to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in your diesel or petrol can certainly result in idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of effectively, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of than water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both situations very quickly.

You should know though that if the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will likely be completely water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to parking spot we can access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have succesfully done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel container lying at the rear of the garden containing unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several privately owned and business premises in North Yorkshire for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a number of drums in a garage, assuming that we can get to it, we can drain it.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Walkerville (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a complete North Yorkshire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to fill up your vehicle in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at cost) to fill your car. They will be able to take care of the normal problems which may go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe flat batteries caused by over-cranking.
