Offered Services:

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

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout North Yorkshire we have identified progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially due to motorists not being aware of the right way to use it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right next to each other on the vehicle.

So, what's the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Because AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Apart from this, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Contact us if it turns out you are suffering with AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can take care of all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a significant matter to take care of in a car - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel tank is likely to result in idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied fully, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can handle both cases rather easily.

Keep in mind though that in the event that the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will probably be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to a car or truck parking spot we should be able to access the storage and drain out the fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel container sitting in the rear of your garden full of unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several domestic and commercial premises in North Yorkshire to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even several drums in an outbuilding, providing we can get to it, we are able to empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Foxup (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a comprehensive North Yorkshire Out of Fuel Service. We will come to re-fill the car if you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) to fill up your vehicle. They can also handle the normal issues which might accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even dead batteries due to over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Foxup - Foxup Wrong Fuel

A man called us from Foxup saying he foolishly piped the wrong fuel in to his diesel MG. "Unbelievable! I can't believe I put petrol in my diesel car!" It only took our engineer approximately fifty minutes to completely drain the wrong fuel out of the car. He totally flushed the fuel system and after that put fresh fuel in the car. The customer was thrilled and it hadn't cost him dealer rates to have the job properly completed.

With more than 100 years of total fuel drain knowledge you could not be better served. Our agents have personally seen it all and corrected everything. They are competent on the most up-to-date models and possess all relevant certificates.

Recent Fuel Drains in Foxup

Customary wrong fuel drain tales in Foxup:

Now I am not necessarily excessively excited about doing the job Sundays, and a week ago was the same. I'd only just departed the wife and kids after a magnificent lunch made for us by the better half, and I was off to sort out a gentleman because he filled the incorrect petrol in his Suzuki. He was stationed in Foxup and so I was with him before long. As I arrived behind the vehicle and started work he explained to me "Thank God! I had my mind on other things and didn't ascertain I had put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. I need to know if I brought about harm by starting it?" I stated that truth be told there probably should not be any damage and that also I would personally get the fuel drained quickly. Needless to say I drained the fuel from the car and filled up with the correct fuel, and so another satisfied motorist was able to continue on his trip without the bother. He could not stop thanking me, and this is exactly what makes operating on weekends in North Yorkshire just a small bit less painful for me!

Petrol in Diesel Foxup - Foxup Wrong Fuel

A person called us from his Volkswagen where he had come to a halt on the congested street. "I erroneously put petrol in my diesel car and I ultimately learned all about it a few miles along the road!" Happily we were in a position to attend him in a fairly short time, considering the traffic, and he was before long back behind the wheel.

Vehicle Misfuel Foxup - Foxup Fuel Rescue

I enjoyed a great day cycling during my holiday and felt pleased with myself the next day as I set out to help a young family away in Foxup. They pulled over after putting petrol in their Citroen, and were about an hour away. I showed up at their location and laughed to myself while I listened to the girl berating her man for being so confused. "Just how could you even manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she said to him. I tried to explain that this situation goes on regularly in North Yorkshire and that it's truly nothing to be anxious about, however he still had his ear bent. Unfortunate guy. Anyhow, I cleaned up and removed all the polluted fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled it up with the appropriate fuel. Watching as they drove down the road I waved bon voyage and thought about what my wife would say to me if perhaps I did the exact same thing... I would never ever hear the end of it!
