It was after 8 pm on a Thursday and though we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't ceased pouring! Dan and I were resting there talking over the sports results, prepared for the next call for the day to arrive. Finally we received the phone call from a young lady on a business trip who had pulled into the Texaco filling station in Helm and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Ford hire car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was pretty distressed apparently, stating "I still cannot believe that I have wrecked the car! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I told her to take it easy and not to fret, and that such things sadly do happen. She was able to maneuver the car into a secure position and, as it was just a short distance away from where we were, we could find the lady right away. The contaminated fuel was taken out and she could get back to the motel she was residing at. Despite the fact that we got very soaked, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive away satisfied and less anxious. A fuel drain in North Yorkshire done well in my books!

Here's a list of the incorrect fuel services we deliver.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around North Yorkshire we have encountered more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where someone has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is mainly as a result of people not being aware of how to use it (note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

So, precisely what is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Since AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it's almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Also, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

If in case you put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out right away. And most certainly don't start the motor - not even to shift it into a parking bay. Assuming you have started the vehicle you would in all probability need to have the full fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, can be a serious condition to deal with in a car - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Having water in the petrol or diesel will lead to idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of effectively, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove as compared with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can handle both circumstances rather quickly.

Bear in mind that if the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted since the previous one is going to be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to parking bay we should be able to access the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank lying at the rear of your garden with aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few private and commercial 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 safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even a few drums in a garage, providing we can access it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Helm (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a full North Yorkshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can help to fill up the car in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at pump prices) and refill your automobile. They will fix any of the normal troubles which may come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Helm - Helm Vehicle Misfuel

Yesterday a driver contacted us just after his Dacia died in the middle of a street in Helm. He had unintentionally put unleaded in his diesel motor and got as far as the road before needing to pull up. It was early in the morning and our technician, who stays nearby, reached him in approximately 20 minutes. We managed to drain the incorrect fuel and put fresh diesel yet again in the car. "Many thanks to you for your prompt response, particularly at 2 a.m., I genuinely am grateful for it."
