It was after 9 pm on a Monday and though we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it had not stopped raining! Ray and me were seated talking about the recent football, waiting for the next call to come in. Eventually we got the call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had gone to the Texaco filling garage in Richmond and put petrol in her diesel Fiat rental car in error. The poor lady was somewhat distressed by the sounds of it, telling me "I cannot believe I have destroyed the car! I'm so used to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I had forgot I was operating a diesel!" I told her to take it easy and not to worry, also that such things happen. She was able to get the vehicle to a secure space and, since it was just a few minutes away from where we were, we could arrive at the lady right away. The bad fuel was extracted and she was able to go home to the Premier Inn she was living in. Even though we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive off relaxed and a lot less apprehensive. Another misfuel correction in North Yorkshire done well in my books!

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

AdBlue Contamination

All over North Yorkshire we have identified progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination when somebody has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partially as a result of drivers not being totally sure the way to to make use of (important: it's not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually right adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Well, precisely what is the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Because AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it's just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you put AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And of course be careful not to turn over the car - not even to move it from the pump. Assuming you did start the vehicle you may probably have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a significant situation to deal with in a car - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Having water in fuel can bring about idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not sorted out fully, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out as compared with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both situations fairly swiftly.

You should know though that whenever the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will undoubtedly be wholly water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. So long as the boat is either on land, or situated near to a car parking bay we will be able to access the tanks and drain out the fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

We've been called out to many private and commercial properties in North Yorkshire to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages.

Wrong Fuel Assist Richmond - Richmond Petrol in Diesel

I appreciated a great afternoon hiking during my afternoon off and was feeling satisfied with myself the following working day as I headed out to assist a young family away in Richmond. They'd pulled over after filling diesel in their Suzuki, and were about half an hour away. I turned up at their location and smirked to myself while I listened to the lady berating her husband for turning out to be so daft. "Just how could you even be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she demanded of him. I tried to explain that this occurs frequently in North Yorkshire and that it is nothing to fret about, however he all the same had his ear bent. Poor guy. In any case, I removed all the polluted fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled them up with the right fuel. While watching them drive away I waved hasta la vista and thought about what my missus would do to me if I made the same mistake... I would never live it down!
