It was close to 6 pm on a Monday and though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Dan and I were sitting there talking over the recent footy rankings, ready for the next telephone call of the day to arrive. Inevitably we got the phone call from a woman on a business excursion who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling garage in Keldholme and filled petrol in her diesel Chevrolet rental car. The unfortunate thing was somewhat irritated it seemed, telling me "I cannot believe I have messed up the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling my petrol car I totally didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I told her to settle back and not to fret, and that things like this unfortunately can happen. She had managed to relocate the car into a protected position and, since it was only a short distance from our van, we were able to reach her almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could once again go back to the motel she was living in. Even though we got thoroughly wet, it was all rewarding to see her drive off satisfied and a lot less stressed. Another misfuel correction in North Yorkshire well done in my books!

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout North Yorkshire we have identified a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part thanks to drivers not knowing the way to to make use of (important: it is not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly close to one another on the car.

So, exactly what is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Since the product is mostly deionised water, it is almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Moreover, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And most certainly take care not to start the car - not even to maneuver it into a parking place. Assuming you did start the vehicle you will almost certainly have to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is certainly an important issue to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel may well produce idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not remedied correctly, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out than water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. However we can handle both cases rather simply.

Take note though that so long as the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will likely be totally wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to a car or truck parking spot we should be able to gain access to the storage and drain out the fuel. We've done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container in the back of your premises full of unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several private and business premises in North Yorkshire to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or possibly even some drums in a shed, as long as we are able to reach it, we can drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Keldholme (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a complete North Yorkshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to fill up your automobile in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) and fill the car. They can also fix the common problems that can come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe flat batteries because of over-cranking.
