It was close to 7 pm on a Monday and although we were promised a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! James and I were relaxing talking over the weekend's golf, ready for the 8th telephone call of the day to arrive. Eventually we had the call from a lady on a company trip who had gone to the BP petrol station in Cross Lanes and filled petrol in a diesel SEAT rental in error. She was very irritated it seemed, saying "I simply can't believe that I have ruined the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to filling my petrol car I totally did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just instructed her to calm down and not to be concerned, and that things like this unfortunately often happen. She managed to get the vehicle into a safe space and, because it was only a few miles from us, we could arrive at the customer right away. The bad fuel was drained so she could return to the motel she was residing in. Although we got really soaked, it was all worth the effort to see her drive off satisfied and not so stressed. Yet another fuel drain in North Yorkshire done well in my mind!

Services We Offer:

Here is a list of the incorrect fuel services we give.

AdBlue In Diesel

In North Yorkshire we have encountered increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent thanks to people not knowing how to to make use of (note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly next to each other on the car.

Now, precisely what is the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? As the product is mostly ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water don't blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

In case you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it asap. And most definitely don't start the motor - not even to relocate it to a parking place. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you may most likely have to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious situation to address in a car - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Water in fuel tank can easily cause idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed fully, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. However we are able to solve both circumstances very easily.

Take note that if the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one will be completely wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Providing the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to a car or truck parking spot we are able to reach the tanks and drain out the fuel. We've undertaken numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container laying in the rear of your garden full of aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of private and commercial premises in North Yorkshire for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a few containers in a shed, assuming that we are able to access it, we could certainly drain it.

Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Cross Lanes (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a comprehensive North Yorkshire Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to fill up your automobile in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at pump prices) to fill the car. They will deal with the most common issues that could accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or maybe flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Cross Lanes - Cross Lanes Petrol in Diesel

I enjoyed a wonderful afternoon cycling during the weekend and felt contented with myself the next working day as I was on the way to assist a young couple who were vacationing in Cross Lanes. They'd pulled over after inserting petrol into their Skoda, and they were close to an hour's drive away. I got there at their car and smirked to myself while I heard to the girl chastising her spouse for turning out to be so silly. "How could you possibly manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she said to him. I attempted to tell her that this comes to pass on daily basis in North Yorkshire and that it's really nothing to fret about, even so he still had an ear bashing by his better half. Poor chap. At any rate, I drained the wrong fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave them some appropriate fuel. Watching them drive down the road I waved so long and considered what her indoors would ask me if ever I made the exact same error... I'd personally under no circumstances live it down!
