It was before eight pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't given up on raining! Dan and I were resting talking over the weekend's football, prepared for the 8th job of the day to arrive. Finally we received a phone call from a lady on a business trip who had arrived at the Texaco petrol garage in Knaresborough and put petrol in her diesel Hyundai lease car. She was rather agitated apparently, telling me "I cannot believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car that I had didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" We asked her to settle back and not to be concerned, and that such things unfortunately often happen. She managed to get the vehicle to a protected position and, as it was no more than a few miles off from us, we were able to find her fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was removed so she could return to the Premier Inn she was residing in. Even though we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive off calm and not so anxious. Yet another job in North Yorkshire well done in my mind!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over North Yorkshire we have identified increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent caused by drivers not knowing how to work with it (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly near to one another on the car.

Well, what exactly is the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Since the product is mostly deionised water, it is like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Additionally, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained asap. And certainly don't crank the vehicle - not even to relocate it off of the pump. In case you have started the vehicle you may in all likelihood have to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious condition to handle in a vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol is likely to cause idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not remedied properly, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to resolve both cases fairly simply.

Remember that if ever the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will be completely water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you have the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to parking spot we will be able to access the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel container placed at the rear of your garden containing aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of private and commercial properties in North Yorkshire to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a few containers in a storage shed, assuming that we can reach it, we can certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Knaresborough (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a full North Yorkshire Out of Fuel Service. We can help to re-fill your automobile if you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at cost) and fill up the car. They are also able to deal with the standard problems which might go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even dead batteries due to over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Assist Knaresborough - Knaresborough Wrong Fuel Doctor

A week ago a youngster called us right after his MG stopped working along a road in Knaresborough. He had mistakenly put the incorrect fuel in the diesel car and managed to get to the road before being forced to pull over. It was really early in the morning and our fuel drainer, who stays not far away, reached him in less than 20 minutes. We managed to take out the wrong fuel and put clean diesel once again into the car. "Thank you for your timely response, particularly at 2 a.m., I truly appreciate it."
