Services We Deliver:

Do you or your employees usually misfuel your car? We can resolve any related issues.

AdBlue Contamination

In North Yorkshire we are finding progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mostly caused by drivers not knowing the way to to make use of (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly adjacent to one another on the car.

Now, what's the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Since AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water will not blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Moreover, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it as soon as possible. And of course don't start up the motor - not even to shift it to a parking bay. In case you did start the car you will likely need to have the entire fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's petrol or diesel, is actually a significant matter to handle in a vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel can certainly result in idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not sorted out fully, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain as compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both situations rather simply.

You should know that as long as the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will likely be wholly wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we are able to gain access to the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have carried out quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank at the rear of your garden containing unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several domestic and industrial premises in North Yorkshire to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or even some containers in a garage, as long as we are able to get to it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in The Grange (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a comprehensive North Yorkshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to refill your car in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) to fill the car. They will be able to deal with the common troubles that could go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel The Grange - The Grange Fuel Drain

A man called us from his home on a street in The Grange. He said, "My vehicle (a Audi) is not starting up and is producing dreadful noises when I turn the ignition." He admitted that he put petrol in his diesel car but then believed he would resolve the issue by putting further Diesel on top. We arrived quickly, did the drain and filled it up once again with clean Diesel. He told us he'd be sure to advise people not to fill up over the incorrect fuel but to get it drained promptly.

Recent Fuel Drains in The Grange

Just a few of the more typical circumstances we hear from many of our employees in The Grange:

I wouldn't like breaking down in a car contaminated with the wrong fuel on the street. One of our last customers who filled her diesel car with petrol (Jaguar) in The Grange suffered from exactly that kind of difficulty: "Obviously I erroneously put the wrong fuel in my car last week. I was so upset about my mistake that I was besides myself. Nevertheless I needn't have worried seeing that you were excellent in sorting it out."

Wrong Fuel Drain The Grange - The Grange Vehicle Misfuel

This was most definitely the graveyard shift. It was close to dawn and noone was stirring. It was quite uneventful so far, and me and Paul were loafing reading a few old papers. This was a rare quiet hour in North Yorkshire. It was in fact that quiet that the moment my mobile inevitably rang it made me start! The motorist on the other end stated: "I've only just finished my night shift and foolishly put the wrong fuel in my diesel Volkswagen in error". We got him to inform us where exactly he was and we set off, ending up in The Grange not as much as an hour later. The contaminated fuel was extracted from the motor. He said thanks for showing up so fast. While we were going back home we found two ladies at the side of the road who appeared to have a flat tyre. Obviously we stopped and helped them change it, to their elation.

Fuel Drain The Grange - The Grange Wrong Fuel Assist

I had a great day fishing on my off day and felt contented the following working day as I was en route to assist a new family away in The Grange. They had conked out after adding petrol in their Land Rover, and the car was close to an hour's travel away. I showed up at their position and laughed to myself while I listened to the girl berating her partner for turning out to be so silly. "How could you possibly be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she said to him. I tried to explain that this happens all the time in North Yorkshire and that it's nothing at all to get worried about, but he yet still had his ear bent by his better half. Unlucky chap. Anyway, I extracted all the wrong fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave it some appropriate fuel. While they drove down the road I shouted bon voyage and thought about what my missus would tell me in the event that I made the exact same blunder... I'd personally under no circumstances live it down!
