Local Call-Out and Roadside Wrong Fuel Repair in Yearby

Petrol in your diesel car in Yearby? You've come to the right place. We are here to aid you in this time of need and get you moving once again with our professional fuel removal service.

It was close to six pm on a Thursday and while we were assured a rainless evening, it hadn't given up on raining! James and I were relaxing going over the golf results, waiting for the sixth call of the day to come in. Eventually we had a call from a young lady on a company expedition who had gone to the Tesco filling station in Yearby and filled petrol in a diesel Hyundai rental car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was quite agitated apparently, crying "I can't believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just told her to settle back and not to fret, plus that such things regrettably do happen. She had managed to get the car to a secure position and, seeing as it was no more than a short distance off from where we were, we were able to arrive at the customer quickly. The incorrect fuel was removed so she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was living at. Although we got pretty wet, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive away contented and a lot less anxious. A misfuel correction in North Yorkshire well done in my books!

If you've put the incorrect fuel in a vehicle and somehow succeeded to get where you were going or have come to a stop on the road - we can certainly help. Our service is totally mobile and we can come out irrespective of where you are and have the car drained, flushed and running again very quickly - and for an acceptable price!

Do you or your drivers usually misfuel your vehicle? We can solve any connected problems.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In North Yorkshire we have seen more and more cases of AdBlue contamination where someone has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent as a consequence of drivers not understanding the way to use it (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right near to one another on the automobile.

Well, what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

If perhaps you put AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And obviously don't switch on the car - not even to relocate it into a parking spot. In the instance that you have started the car you would in all likelihood have to have the entire fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's petrol or diesel, is actually a serious situation to address in a vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water in fuel can certainly trigger idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with fully, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove compared to water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can take care of both circumstances quite swiftly.

Remember however that whenever the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will probably be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to a car or truck parking spot we should be able to access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've carried out many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel container placed in the back of the garden with unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to 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 taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or even some containers in a garage, if we are able to access it, we are able to empty it.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Yearby (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a full North Yorkshire Out of Fuel Service. We can help to fill up your automobile in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) and fill your car. They will be able to deal with any of the typical problems that could accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.
