Services We Provide:

Here is a list of the wrong fuel services we deliver.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In North Yorkshire we have discovered a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mostly as a consequence of drivers being unsure of the right way to work with it (note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally right near to one another on the vehicle.

So, what exactly is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Because the product is mostly deionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Also, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

If you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank remove it as quickly as possible. And obviously be careful not to crank the car - not even to maneuver it into a parking bay. Assuming you have started the vehicle you may very likely have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant situation to handle in a car - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel will produce idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with correctly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both situations rather swiftly.

Take note though that as long as the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or situated close to a vehicle parking bay we should be able to access the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container lying at the back of your premises containing unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few private and business properties in North Yorkshire to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even numerous containers in a garage, if we can get to it, we can drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Bolton-on-Swale (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a full North Yorkshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to fill up the car if you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) to fill up the car. They are also able to take care of any of the common issues that could accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, as well as flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Bolton-on-Swale - Bolton-on-Swale Vehicle Misfuel

I appreciated a great evening hiking on my day off and felt satisfied the following working day as I headed out to assist a young family away in Bolton-on-Swale. They stopped after inserting diesel into their Kia, and the car was approximately half an hour away. I showed up at their position and smirked while I heard to the girl berating her hubby for being so foolish. "Exactly how could you possibly be able to fill the vehicle up with the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I attempted to clarify that this problem happens quite frequently in North Yorkshire and that it's truly nothing at all to be concerned about, even so he all the same had his ear bent by his better half. Unlucky lad. Anyway, I drained the contaminated fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled it up with the appropriate fuel. While watching them drive down the road I mouthed farewell and considered what her indoors would do to me in the event that I made the very same mistake... I'd personally never ever live it down!
