It was just before six pm on a Friday and while we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it had not ceased raining! James and I were sitting talking over the weekend's footy, waiting for the sixth fuel drain that day to arrive. In due time we got a phone call from a lady on a business expedition who had pulled into the Tesco filling garage in Wykeham and filled petrol in a diesel SEAT rental car in error. She was pretty affected it seemed, stating "I cannot believe I've destroyed the car! I am just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I had forgot that I was operating a diesel!" We advised her to relax and not to fret, and also that such things sadly do happen. She had managed to get the vehicle into a secure space and, seeing that it was only a few miles off from the office, we could reach the customer without delay. The incorrect fuel was taken out and she could once again go back to the motel she was residing in. Although we got fairly soaked, it was all rewarding seeing her drive home contented and much less apprehensive. A job in North Yorkshire done well in my mind!

Do you or your employees frequently misfuel your vehicle? We can fix any connected problems.

AdBlue Contamination

In North Yorkshire we have encountered more and more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is partly caused by people not understanding how to work with it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right next to each other on the car.

So, what's the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Because the product is mostly deionised water, it is almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

If perhaps you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it right away. And absolutely take care not to turn over the motor - not even to maneuver it to a parking spot. If perhaps you did start the car you would probably have to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's petrol or diesel, is generally a significant matter to deal with in an automobile - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel may well contribute to idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied properly, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. However we are able to handle both circumstances pretty simply.

Take note that if ever the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked near to a vehicle parking bay we are able to gain access to the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir at the back of your garden with unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several private and industrial 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 get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even several containers in a shed, provided that we are able to access it, we can drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Wykeham (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a comprehensive North Yorkshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will come to refill the car in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at pump price) and fill up your vehicle. They can also fix the normal troubles that could go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue Wykeham - Wykeham Fuel Removal

A gentleman rang us from his place on a close in Wykeham. He exclaimed, "My car (a Vauxhall) is not starting up and is creating dreadful sounds when I flip the ignition." He confessed that he put unleaded in his diesel vehicle however reckoned he would fix the issue by putting extra Diesel on top. We arrived promptly, carried out the drain and filled it up once again with fresh Diesel. He said after that he'd be certain to advise people not to fill up on top of the wrong fuel but to have it cleaned out promptly.
