It was before 6 pm on a Monday and though we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it had not stopped pouring! Paul and I were relaxing going over the tennis, prepared for the seventh telephone call to arrive. Eventually we received the call from a girl on a business expedition who had pulled into the BP petrol garage in Kirby Hill and filled petrol in a diesel Smart rental car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was pretty distressed by the sounds of it, crying "I can not believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I had forgot I was operating a diesel!" We instructed her to relax and not to fret, and that things like this unfortunately often happen. She had managed to maneuver the car to a safe area and, as it was just a few minutes away from where we were, we were able to arrive at her without delay. The bad fuel was removed and she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was staying in. Although we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worth it to watch her drive off contented and much less concerned. One more job in North Yorkshire done well in my opinion!

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

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around North Yorkshire we are encountering increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partly as a consequence of people being unsure of 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 often directly next to each other on the car.

So, precisely what is the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Because the product is primarily deionised water, it's like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Additionally, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained right away. And obviously don't start up the vehicle - not even to relocate it into a parking place. Assuming you have started the car you will likely have to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is certainly a serious issue to address in an automobile - especially in modern common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol will often contribute to idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not taken care of effectively, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain than water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to take care of both situations rather expediently.

Remember however that as long as the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the old one will be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. Providing the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to a car parking bay we should be able to gain access to the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel reservoir lying at the rear of your garden containing out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many private and business premises in North Yorkshire to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a few drums in a garage, providing we can get to it, we are able to empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Kirby Hill (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a complete North Yorkshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to fill up your vehicle any time you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) to refill your car. They can also take care of the common problems that may accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Kirby Hill - Kirby Hill Wrong Fuel

I'd had a perfect evening cycling during my afternoon off and was feeling delighted the next morning as I was en route to assist a new family who were on vacation in Kirby Hill. They pulled over after putting diesel in their Kia, and they were about an hour's travel away. I got there at their position and laughed to myself as I listened to the gal berating her man for turning out to be so foolish. "Exactly how could you actually be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she demanded of him. I wanted to clarify that this occurs constantly in North Yorkshire and that it's absolutely nothing to be anxious about, and yet he all the same had an ear bashing by his missus. I felt genuine sympathy for the chap. Anyways, I cleaned up and removed all the contaminated fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled them up with the correct fuel. Watching them drive off I waved bon voyage and pondered on what her indoors would ask me if ever I did the very same thing... I would personally never live it down!
