Wrong Fuel Drain York - York Fuel Drain

A customer had broken down on a street, York just after having misfueled. She was in tears and quite agitated as she had put £40 of petrol in her diesel car. When she called us we attempted to cool her as well as we could, telling her that everything would be ok. When we arrived with her she was not aggrieved any more and was pretty interested in observing our fuel drainer perform the fuel drain on her Skoda. Afterwards she said: "My vehicle is akin to my baby, I only just paid for it and thus it genuinely horrified me that I had put such a large amount of wrong fuel in it. I'm gratified that it was very easily fixable."

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout North Yorkshire we are finding increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination when a driver has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree as a result of motorists not knowing how to use it (please note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly adjacent to one another on the car.

So, what is the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Since AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition to this, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you put AdBlue into a fuel tank drain it as soon as possible. And obviously never start up the engine - not even to shift it to a parking place. In cases where you did start the vehicle you will in all likelihood have to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly a significant matter to address in a car - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank may lead to idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed correctly, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of than water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can resolve both circumstances pretty simply.

Take note however that if ever the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one will undoubtedly be wholly water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to a vehicle parking bay we are able to gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel container sitting in the rear of the garden containing aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and industrial premises in North Yorkshire to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even numerous containers in a shed, as long as we are able to access it, we could certainly empty it for you.

We can easily get out to refill your automobile if you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home.

They can also handle any of the typical problems that could come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, and even flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Recent Fuel Drains in York

Some of the routine stories we come across from many of our engineers in York:

We carried out a wrong fuel removal exercise near a spectacular property in York not so long ago. "I put petrol in my diesel car and managed to more or less get home when my car quit." Our fuel drainer went out, even though it was quite late at night, and performed a thorough fuel drain and cleanse on the Mazda .

Fuel Drain York - York Wrong Fuel Doctor

A motorist who had put the wrong fuel in his diesel Volkswagen called us for assistance at the Tesco filling station in York. He had decided to top up before going on to the local recreation park but had put the wrong fuel in his car. "I put petrol rather than diesel which unfortunately wasn't a smart beginning to our holiday." It was really no problem by any means for our fuel drainer to go and perform the fuel drain. We hope everyone had a good holiday break.

Wrong Fuel in Car York - York Fuel Removal

I'd had a perfect day golfing on the weekend and felt pleased with myself the following morning as I set out to aid a new couple vacationing in York. They'd pulled over after adding diesel in their Smart, and the car was around an hour away. I turned up at their car and smiled to myself while I listened to the woman berating her hubby for being so confused. "Precisely how could you even be able to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I wanted to clarify that this kind of thing happens continuously in North Yorkshire and that it's in reality nothing to stress about, nevertheless he yet still got his ear bent. Poor boy. Anyway, I extracted the polluted fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave them some proper fuel. As they drove down the road I mouthed goodbye and pondered on what my missus would say to me if perhaps I made the same error... I would never live it down!
