It was after eight pm on a Saturday and although we were assured a rainless evening, it hadn't given up on raining! Ray and I were seated there talking about the footy results, waiting for the seventh telephone call for the day to come in. Eventually we had a call from a lovely women on a company trip who had gone to the Tesco filling station in West Barnby and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Peugeot lease car in error. The unfortunate lady was pretty affected it seemed, telling me "I simply cannot believe I have messed up the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I completely did not remember I was driving a diesel!" We asked her to calm down and not to fret, also that these things regrettably often happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle into a secure spot and, seeing as it was no more than a few minutes away from us, we were able to reach the customer almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was extracted so she could go home to the Premier Inn she was staying at.

Listed below are our top services we deliver to our clients.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout North Yorkshire we have discovered increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is in part thanks to people not understanding the right way to use it (note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually right close to one another on the automobile.

Now, what exactly is the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is mainly 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 cannot work. Furthermore, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

If in case you put AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it asap. And obviously be careful not to start up the vehicle - not even to shift it from the pump. Assuming you did start the car you will in all likelihood have to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is actually an important condition to deal with in an automobile - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Water in fuel can cause idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with effectively, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out than water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can deal with both cases very expediently.

Be aware however that so long as the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one will be completely wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to a car or truck parking bay we should be able to gain access to the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've completed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

We have been called out to numerous domestic and industrial premises in North Yorkshire to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even several containers in a storage shed, if we can reach it, we are able to drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in West Barnby (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a full North Yorkshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to refill the car in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) to fill up your vehicle. They will be able to deal with any of the most common problems that might come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, and even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
