Wrong Fuel in Car York, North Yorkshire
Wrong Fuel Doctor York - York Fuel Drain
A relatively concerned driver called us from the Shell filling station at North Yorkshire to inform us that he put unleaded in to his diesel SEAT; he wasn't actually certain how he'd done it. We told him it was absolutely no worry and soon enough had our specialist with him to clear the wrong fuel from his vehicle. Having purged the bad fuel, he was soon back rolling again. He told us; "I can't believe I put petrol in my diesel car. And the chap who was sent to take care of the fuel drain was genuinely excellent - he did not make me look and feel like an idiot."
We have comprehensive Environment Agency licencing and Liability insurance intended for your own peace of mind. Moreover, our specialists are thoroughly proficient and skilled in handling the majority of vehicle models.

It was just after seven pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry day, it hadn't ceased pouring! Mark and me were seated there talking about the weekend's sports, prepared for the 8th fuel drain that day to arrive. Eventually we received a call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had arrived at the Shell petrol station in York and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Kia lease car. The poor thing was very agitated apparently, stating "I still can't believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I'm so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I had forgot I was running a diesel!" We asked her to relax and not to worry, also that things like this sadly often happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle into a safe position and, as it was only a few miles away from the office, we could reach the lady right away. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was staying at. Despite the fact we got extremely wet, it was all worth it to see her drive off satisfied and much less worried. One more job in North Yorkshire done well in my books!

AdBlue In Diesel
What to do if you?ve put Adblue into a Diesel tank? Adblue can be damaging to your automobile's fuel system, specifically in cases where you run the engine with Adblue in your diesel tank. The moment the engine has been started the Adblue will be pulled into the fuel lines and will immediately begin to crystalise, triggering serious and costly harm to your car's fuel system.
If you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it as soon as possible. And of course do not crank the motor - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. In case you did start the vehicle you will probably have to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.
Water contaminated fuel
Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important issue to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel may trigger idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not dealt with effectively, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain as compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both situations pretty quickly.
Keep in mind however that if ever the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one will likely be totally water-logged and ineffective.
Marine Fuel Drains
In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to a car or truck parking bay we should be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have carried out quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

We have been called out to a number of private and industrial premises in North Yorkshire to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even several containers in an outbuilding, providing we can get to it, we can drain it.

Run out of fuel in York (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a full North Yorkshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to fill up your automobile in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at pump prices) to refill your car or truck. They will deal with the common issues which can go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.
Fuel Removal York - York Vehicle Misfuel
A customer called us from his home on a close in York. He exclaimed, "My vehicle (a MINI) is not starting up and is creating awful sounds when I flip the ignition." He said that he had put unleaded in his diesel vehicle but then believed he would fix the issue by putting more Diesel on top. We were on scene promptly, performed the fuel drain and filled it up once more with clean Diesel. He told us after that he'd be certain to explain to people not to fill up in addition to the wrong fuel but to have it cleaned out right away.
With more than 100 years of total contaminated fuel removal knowledge you couldn't be in better hands. Our agents have witnessed it all and accomplished everything. They are properly trained on the most current types and hold all relevant certificates.

Recent Fuel Drains in York
Several of the routine details we get from many of our technicians in York:
We completed a wrong fuel retrieval exercise near a beautiful residence in York a few weeks ago. "I had put petrol in my diesel car and managed to almost get home when my car cut out." Our technician went out, despite the fact that it was fairly late at night, and did a thorough fuel drain and purge on the BMW .
Vehicle Misfuel York - York Petrol in Diesel
This was exactly the graveyard shift. It was close to 3 in the morning and noone was about. It had been fairly dead up to now, and me and John were loafing about reading a couple of old papers. This was a rare tranquil moment in North Yorkshire. Actually it was indeed that calm that the moment the phone eventually rang it made me jump! The motorist said: "I only just finished my evening shift and stupidly put petrol in a Peugeot". We asked him to tell us where the vehicle was and we set off, arriving in York no more than half an hour later. The incorrect fuel was removed from the engine and he thanked us for showing up so quickly. While we were going back to base we saw two women at the side of the road who appeared to have a puncture. Accordingly we pulled over to change it, to their delight.
Fuel Rescue York - York Fuel Drain
A man called us from York to state that he foolishly pumped petrol in to his diesel Porsche. "Unbelievable! I can't believe I put unleaded in my nice diesel car!" It only took the technician about 50 minutes to fully drain the incorrect fuel from the car. He completely purged the fuel lines, filter and pumps and put fresh diesel in the vehicle. The customer was thrilled and it hadn't cost him dealership prices to get the task professionally done.
