It was after ten pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a rainless day, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Ray and I were resting discussing the weekend's sports results, prepared for the sixth telephone call of the day to come in. Eventually we got a phone call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had pulled into the Texaco filling station in Whaw and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Lexus rental. She was somewhat irritated it seemed, telling me "I cannot believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I am just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car I totally did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I told her to relax and not to worry, and that such things regrettably do happen. She was able to move the car into a protected space and, as it was no more than a few miles off from our van, we were able to find her swiftly. The incorrect fuel was taken out and she was able to return to the hotel she was residing in. Even though we got pretty drenched, it was all rewarding to watch her drive away contented and a lot less stressed. Yet another job in North Yorkshire done well in my books!

We can assist you with all these mis-fuel problems.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In North Yorkshire we have seen increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is mostly a result of people not knowing the right way to to make use of (note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly next to each other on the vehicle.

So, what's the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing that the product is mostly ionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Additionally, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Call us if it turns out you are struggling with AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to attend to all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious situation to address in a car - especially in current day common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel will likely cause idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with fully, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both cases pretty quickly.

Remember though that if ever the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to an automobile parking bay we should be able to reach the tanks and drain out the fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel reservoir lying in the back of your premises with aged, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few private and commercial premises in North Yorkshire to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps several containers in a storage shed, assuming that we can reach it, we can empty it.

Run out of fuel in Whaw (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a complete North Yorkshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to fill up your automobile if you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump price) to fill your car. They can also fix the common issues which can accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Whaw - Whaw Wrong Fuel Drain

A gentleman had broken down off a road in Whaw. His Peugeot motor had stopped running and he had no idea what was the problem until eventually he realised he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel car. He rang us to get a fuel drain and it was then when he said to us: "I can not believe that I didn't detect that I put the wrong fuel in my car." He stated that he had gotten absolutely no rest the night before and that must have been the reason.
