It was about six pm on a Tuesday and while we were guaranteed a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't stopped pouring! Paul and I were resting there talking about the recent tennis, ready for the 6th telephone call for the day to arrive. Inevitably we had a phone call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had arrived at the Texaco petrol garage in Kirk Deighton and filled petrol in her diesel Mitsubishi rental in error. She was pretty troubled it seemed, telling me "I just can't believe that I have destroyed the car! I'm just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car that I totally didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I told her to settle back and not to fret, and that these things sadly often happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle to a safe space and, seeing that it was no more than a short distance from where we were, we were able to find the lady almost instantly. The bad fuel was removed and she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was living in. Despite the fact that we got pretty drenched, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive away contented and a lot less worried. A fuel drain in North Yorkshire done well in my books!

This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over North Yorkshire we have discovered more and more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree as a result of people not understanding the right way to use it (important: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly next to each other on the car.

Well, what is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Since AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Additionally, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

In case you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out immediately. And absolutely don't switch on the engine - not even to relocate it into a parking area. In the event that you have started the car you may very likely need to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is actually a serious matter to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water in diesel or petrol can potentially cause idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed properly, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both circumstances pretty expediently.

Keep in mind though that any time the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to a vehicle parking spot we can access the storage and drain out the fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel reservoir in the back of your premises with old, useless or contaminated fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many privately owned and industrial premises in North Yorkshire for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a few containers in a garage, provided that we can access it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Kirk Deighton (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a complete North Yorkshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to refill your automobile if you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at pump price) and refill your car or truck. They can also handle any of the most common troubles which can accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or even flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Kirk Deighton - Kirk Deighton Petrol in Diesel

A gentleman contacted us from his residence on a close in Kirk Deighton. He pronounced, "My vehicle (a Land Rover) is not running and is producing awful noises when I flip the ignition." He said that he put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle but then believed he would remedy the issue by putting further Diesel on top. We showed up promptly, performed the drain and filled him up once more with clean Diesel. He said that he would be sure to educate people not to fill up over the incorrect fuel but to have it drained promptly.
