It was just before 7 pm on a Monday and even though we were guaranteed a rainless night, it hadn't stopped pouring! Brian and me were seated there commenting on the footy, prepared for the seventh job for the day to come in. Inevitably we received the call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had gone to the Esso petrol station in Nether Poppleton and filled petrol in a diesel Jaguar rental car. The poor thing was pretty affected apparently, telling me "I cannot believe I have destroyed the car! I am just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle I completely forgot I was using a diesel!" I just told her to calm down and not to fret, and that things like this unfortunately can happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle into a protected space and, as it was no more than a short distance from where we were, we were able to reach the customer almost instantly. The wrong fuel was removed and she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was living in. Despite the fact we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth the effort to see her drive off satisfied and much less concerned. A misfuel correction in North Yorkshire done well in my books!

Our Areas of Competence :

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

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout North Yorkshire we are encountering increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination where a driver has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is in part thanks to people not being totally sure the way to work with it (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right near to each other on the automobile.

So, precisely what is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing as AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it's like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Apart from this, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

Phone us if you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to attend to all kinds of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a serious matter to deal with in an automobile - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Water inside your diesel or petrol will produce idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not remedied properly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove as compared to water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both circumstances quite easily.

You should know that as long as the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will probably be wholly wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. So long as the boat is either on land, or moored close to a vehicle parking bay we should be able to reach the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've carried out numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir at the rear of the garden full of unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and business properties in North Yorkshire to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps several drums in a storage shed, assuming that we can get to it, we are able to empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Nether Poppleton (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a complete North Yorkshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can come to fill up your car in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at cost) and refill your car or truck. They are also able to deal with the normal issues that might come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or maybe dead batteries due to over-cranking.
