Services We Provide:

Do you or your drivers often misfuel your car? We can fix any associated issues.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over North Yorkshire we are identifying a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination when a driver has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to a degree as a result of motorists being unsure of the way to to make use of (remember: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right near to each other on the car.

Now, what is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Also, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out at once. And obviously take care not to crank the engine - not even to relocate it to a parking spot. In cases where you did start the car you will in all likelihood have to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious issue to deal with in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank will likely result in idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not taken care of properly, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove than water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to solve both cases fairly quickly.

Be aware however that as long as the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the old one will probably be completely water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to parking bay we can reach the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've undertaken numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel tank lying in the rear of your premises containing unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of private and industrial premises in North Yorkshire for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a number of drums in an outbuilding, providing we are able to get to it, we are able to empty it.

Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Thirsk (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a comprehensive North Yorkshire Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to fill up the car if you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) and refill the car. They will be able to fix any of the common issues that could go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or even dead batteries due to over-cranking.


Wrong Fuel Doctor Thirsk - Thirsk Vehicle Misfuel

I had a fantastic afternoon golfing on my holiday and was feeling satisfied with myself the next working day as I headed out to aid a young family who were on holiday in Thirsk. They had stopped after adding petrol into their MINI, and they were approximately half an hour away. I turned up at their location and smirked to myself as I heard to the gal telling her man off for turning out to be so stupid. "How could you possibly manage to fill the car up by using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I tried to clarify that this situation takes place continuously in North Yorkshire and that it's actually nothing to be concerned about, however he in spite of everything had an earful. Unfortunate boy. Anyhow, I removed all the polluted fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled it up with the proper fuel. While watching them drive down the road I waved good bye and pondered on what her indoors would tell me in the event that I made the exact same blunder... I'd personally under no circumstances live it down!

Recent Fuel Drains in Thirsk

A few reports:

We did a wrong fuel removal exercise near a beautiful house in Thirsk recently. "I put the wrong fuel in my diesel car and managed to nearly get home when my car stopped." Our specialist went out, despite the fact that it was rather late at night, and carried out a standard fuel drain and purge on the Toyota to everyone's satisfaction.

Wrong Fuel Drain Thirsk - Thirsk Fuel Rescue

A gentleman who had put the wrong fuel in his diesel Land Rover called us for help at the petrol filling station in Thirsk. He decided to fill up before continuing on to the local caravan park but had put the wrong fuel in his car. "I put unleaded instead of diesel which probably wasn't a good start to our holiday break." It was really no problem by any means for our technical engineer to go along and do the fuel drain. We hope everyone enjoyed their holiday break.

Wrong Fuel Drain Thirsk - Thirsk Vehicle Misfuel

A gentleman had broken down just off a street in Thirsk. His Lexus engine had ceased functioning and he had no idea what was awry right up until he realised he put unleaded in his diesel vehicle. He called us to request a fuel drain and it was then when he told us: "I can't believe that I didn't detect that I put the incorrect fuel in my vehicle." He stated that he had got virtually no sleep the day before and that could have been the key reason why.
