Our Areas of Expertise:

This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over North Yorkshire we have encountered progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination when a driver has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent caused by motorists not understanding the right way to work with it (take note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right near to each other on the vehicle.

Now, exactly what is the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

If in case you put AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it immediately. And absolutely take care not to crank the motor - not even to maneuver it into a parking spot. If perhaps you have started the car you may probably have to have the full fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant issue to address in a vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Water inside your petrol or diesel is likely to bring about idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied effectively, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out when compared with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can handle both circumstances quite simply.

Remember however that whenever the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or secured near to an automobile parking bay we should be able to access the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have carried out numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel tank lying at the rear of your garden with aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of domestic and business premises in North Yorkshire for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or even several containers in an outbuilding, if we can reach it, we could certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Wintringham (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a comprehensive North Yorkshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to refill your vehicle any time you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) to fill your vehicle. They are also able to handle any of the common troubles which might go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, and even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
