It was just after five pm on a Tuesday and even though we were assured a dry afternoon, it had not given up on raining! Ray and me were resting going over the weekend's tennis, prepared for the 8th job of the day to come in. Inevitably we got the call from a lovely women on a company trip who had pulled into the Texaco filling garage in Whitby and filled petrol in her diesel Land Rover rental car. The poor thing was fairly troubled it seemed, telling me "I simply cannot believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I am just so used to putting petrol in my petrol car that I completely forgot that I was using a diesel!" I instructed her to calm down and not to worry, and also that things like this unfortunately often happen.

These are the fuel mistakes services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In Diesel

All around North Yorkshire we are discovering more and more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially stemming from motorists being unsure of how to to make use of (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly next to each other on the car.

So, precisely what is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Because the product is primarily deionised water, it's just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Moreover, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

In case you end up in this scenario don?t panic! Call us, the UK?s Best fuel contamination company. Our technicians possess the practical knowledge and working experience to get you back on the road quickly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly a significant condition to deal with in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Putting water inside your fuel can potentially produce idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed correctly, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out as compared with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both cases quite quickly.

Take note however that so long as the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one will likely be completely water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to a vehicle parking bay we will be able to reach the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've succesfully done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Got a fuel tank laying at the back of your garden containing aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few domestic and industrial premises in North Yorkshire to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even numerous drums in a shed, providing we are able to reach it, we can certainly drain it.
