It was after 6 pm on a Monday and though we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Dan and I were relaxing there talking over the recent sports, prepared for the 6th job to arrive. Eventually we received a phone call from a lovely woman on a company excursion who had gone to the Tesco petrol garage in Stockton-on-Tees Durham and put petrol in a diesel Fiat rental car. She was pretty troubled by the sounds of it, telling me "I simply cannot believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling my petrol car I totally did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just advised her to calm down and not to be concerned, and that things like this regrettably do happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle into a safe space and, since it was no more than a few miles from our van, we could get to the customer without delay. The incorrect fuel was extracted and she was able to once again go back to the motel she was staying in. Although we got really wet, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive home contented and much less concerned. One more fuel drain in North Yorkshire well done in my opinion!

Services We Offer:

Do you or your employees often misfuel your car? We can solve any associated issues.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout North Yorkshire we have encountered increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is mostly caused by people not being totally sure how to work with it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally right adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Now, precisely what is the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Since AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained as soon as possible. And obviously do not start the car - not even to maneuver it to a parking spot. In the event that you did start the car you will almost certainly need to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is actually a significant matter to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Water in fuel will likely lead to idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed properly, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain in comparison with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both situations very quickly.

You should know however that whenever the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be installed because the previous one will undoubtedly be totally wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to an automobile parking bay we can reach the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We have completed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel container laying at the back of your garden with out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several domestic and business premises in North Yorkshire for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps several containers in a storage shed, provided that we are able to access it, we are able to empty it.
