It was after six pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were assured a rainless night, it hadn't stopped raining! Mark and I were relaxing talking over the tennis rankings, waiting for the 6th call to come in. In due time we had the phone call from a lady on a company trip who had gone to the Esso filling station in Richmond and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Land Rover hire car. She was very troubled by the sounds of it, stating "I can not believe that I've ruined the car! I am so used to filling up my petrol car that I completely forgot I was driving a diesel!" I advised her to take it easy and not to fret, plus that such things often happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle to a protected area and, as it was just a few miles from the office, we were able to reach the woman rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was taken out and she was able to go home to the hotel she was residing at. Even though we got extremely drenched, it was all worth the time to see her drive away calm and less stressed. Another misfuel correction in North Yorkshire done well in my books!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over North Yorkshire we have identified more and more instances of AdBlue contamination when a person has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent due to people being unsure of the way to use it (be aware: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly near to one another on the automobile.

Well, what exactly is the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Since AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Apart from this, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

In case you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it asap. And obviously do not turn over the car - not even to maneuver it into a parking spot. If perhaps you have started the car you may in all probability need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is certainly a serious situation to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel can result in idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied effectively, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of compared to water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both situations very simply.

Take note though that so long as the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one will probably be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to parking spot we are able to reach the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir lying at the back of the garden with aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many private and business properties in North Yorkshire for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or even a number of containers in a garage, providing we are able to get to it, we are able to empty it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Richmond (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a complete North Yorkshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to re-fill your vehicle in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at pump prices) and fill up your car or truck. They can also handle the typical problems which can go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or maybe dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Assist Richmond - Richmond Fuel Rescue

A motorist had stopped just off a street in Richmond. His Hyundai motor had stopped working and he'd no clue what was awry till he realised he put petrol in his diesel car. He rang us to get a fuel drain and it was then when he informed us: "I can't believe that I didn't detect that I had put the incorrect fuel in my vehicle." He said that he had gotten virtually no rest the evening before and that must have been the reason.
