These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In your Fuel

In North Yorkshire we have seen a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination when a driver has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to some extent thanks to people not understanding the way to use it (take note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right adjacent to each other on the car.

Now, exactly what is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing that AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it's like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water will not mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Moreover, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

Assuming you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained at once. And most certainly take care not to switch on the motor - not even to move it off the pump. Assuming you have started the vehicle you will in all likelihood have to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is definitely an important issue to address in a motor vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Water inside your diesel or petrol will likely result in idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of effectively, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to take care of both cases very easily.

Remember however that so long as the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will likely be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or parked close to a vehicle parking spot we will be able to reach the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've performed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel reservoir sitting in the back of the garden containing unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many privately owned and commercial properties in North Yorkshire for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or even some drums in a storage shed, provided that we are able to get to it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Stockton-on-Tees Durham (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a complete North Yorkshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to refill your vehicle if you are stranded on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at your home.

They will handle any of the most common troubles that could accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to start, as well as flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Stockton-on-Tees Durham - Stockton-on-Tees Durham Wrong Fuel in Car

I had a fantastic evening cycling on my off day and felt satisfied the following morning as I set out to assist a young couple on vacation in Stockton-on-Tees Durham. They had stopped after inserting diesel in their Lexus, and the car was roughly half an hour's travel away. I showed up at their location and smiled to myself while I heard to the wife telling off her hubby for being so foolish. "How could you actually be able to fill the vehicle up with the wrong fuel?" she told him. I tried to clarify that this comes to pass on daily basis in North Yorkshire and that it is absolutely nothing to stress about, and yet he in spite of everything got an earful. Unlucky chap. Anyway, I cleaned up and removed all of the wrong fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave them some appropriate fuel. Watching them drive away I shouted hasta la vista and considered what my wife would say to me if I made the same blunder... I would under no circumstances live it down!
