Petrol in Diesel Pickering - Pickering Vehicle Misfuel

Just had a good night of sleep! It was 7:30 am on a sunny Monday and I was off to assist an elder sweetheart after she put petrol in her diesel Smart in Pickering. I'd been informed she had driven away from the filling station and was stranded in a rural road en route to see her family. I got the location punched into the Satnav and got there within an hour. I got to the location and extracted the wrong fuel out of the vehicle. While I was working she explained, "I'm becoming fairly forgetful in my old age and didn't remember about the car working with diesel as I had only just got it a couple of days back when my previous one, which I used for more than 30 years, inevitably gave up the ghost". I completed the drain and she offered me a Murray mint and thanked me for my efforts. Such a pleasant North Yorkshire woman!

And so, if you've topped up your petrol car with diesel, or put the wrong fuel in your diesel motor vehicle wherever in North Yorkshire, get in touch with us right now. Our expert technicians are available and waiting for you.

Our Fields of Expertise:

Helping you get back on the road is our primary goal.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout North Yorkshire we are identifying progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly as a result of motorists not understanding the right way to work with it (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly adjacent to each other on the car.

Now, what exactly is the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Because the product is predominantly ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Additionally, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

If in case you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it as quickly as possible. And obviously don't start up the vehicle - not even to shift it off of the pump. In the event that you did start the vehicle you may likely have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a serious issue to deal with in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Water in fuel tank may well lead to idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed correctly, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain when compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both circumstances very simply.

Be aware however that whenever the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to parking spot we should be able to reach the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel container lying in the rear of the garden with unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few private and industrial properties in North Yorkshire to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or even numerous containers in a shed, providing we are able to access it, we are able to empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Pickering (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a comprehensive North Yorkshire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to refill your automobile if you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at pump prices) and fill up your car or truck. They are also able to handle any of the usual problems that may accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe dead batteries due to over-cranking.


Fuel Drain Pickering - Pickering Wrong Fuel Drain

I had a terrific evening fishing during my holiday and was feeling cheerful the following working day as I set out to help a new family on vacation in Pickering. They'd conked out after adding petrol into their Fiat, and were about half an hour's drive away. I got there at their car and smirked as I heard to the wife chastising her partner for turning out to be so confused. "Exactly how could you actually be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she told him. I attempted to tell her that this situation happens on a regular basis in North Yorkshire and that it is absolutely nothing to stress about, however he all the same had an earful by his better half. I felt sorry for the boy. In any case, I extracted all of the contaminated fuel, flushed the motor and gave them some appropriate fuel. Watching them drive away I mouthed so long and considered what my missus would ask me in the event that I made the same mistake... I'd personally never live it down!

Some examples:

We did a wrong fuel removal exercise on the drive of a spectacular residential home in Pickering a few weeks ago. "I had put the wrong fuel in my diesel car and was able to nearly get home when my car broke down." Our fuel drainer went out, even though it was rather late at night, and carried out a thorough fuel drain and purge on the Audi to everyone's satisfaction.

Vehicle Misfuel Pickering - Pickering Vehicle Misfuel

A gentleman who had unluckily put unleaded in his diesel SEAT contacted us for a fuel drain at the Murco filling station in Pickering. He thought it would be good to fill up before continuing on to the local recreation park . "I put unleaded instead of diesel which probably wasn't a wonderful way to begin to our holiday." It was certainly no problem at all for our fuel drainer to go along and do the fuel drain. We hope they had a good vacation.

Wrong Fuel Drain Pickering - Pickering Wrong Fuel Drain

A gentleman contacted us from his house on a street in Pickering. He explained, "My car (a Audi) is not running and is generating very bad noises when I flip the ignition." He confessed that he put unleaded in his diesel car but then imagined he would resolve the issue by putting more Diesel on top. We arrived quickly, did the fuel drain and filled it up once more with untainted Diesel. He told us that he'd be absolutely sure to advise people not to fill up over the wrong fuel but to have it drained immediately.
