Wrong Fuel in Car Whenby, North Yorkshire

Services Our Company Offers:

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In Diesel

All over North Yorkshire we are discovering a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially a result of motorists not being aware of how to use it (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right next to one another on the car.

Well, what's the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Because the product is mainly deionised water, it's just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

If perhaps you put AdBlue into a fuel tank drain it right away. And certainly take care not to switch on the vehicle - not even to maneuver it into a parking bay. In case you did start the car you may almost certainly have to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a significant matter to deal with in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Water in diesel or petrol can certainly bring about idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not remedied fully, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to take care of both cases pretty quickly.

Be aware however that any time the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to parking spot we will be able to reach the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir laying in the back of your premises containing aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and business premises in North Yorkshire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or even a number of containers in a shed, providing we are able to reach it, we can certainly empty it.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Whenby (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a comprehensive North Yorkshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to refill your vehicle if you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at pump price) to fill up your car or truck. They are also able to take care of any of the usual troubles that can come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to start, and even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Whenby - Whenby Vehicle Misfuel

I had a fantastic day fishing on my day off and felt satisfied with myself the following day as I set off to assist a young family who were vacationing in Whenby. They had broken down after adding the wrong fuel in their Chevrolet, and they were roughly an hour's travel away. I arrived at their position and laughed while I heard to the wife chastising her partner for being so silly. "Exactly how could you actually find a way to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she said to him. I attempted to explain that this problem comes to pass on a regular basis in North Yorkshire and that it's really nothing at all to worry about, however he yet still had his ear bent by his missus. Poor guy. Anyways, I removed all of the wrong fuel, flushed the motor and gave them some appropriate fuel. While watching them drive away I waved bon voyage and wondered what her indoors would say to me if ever I made the exact same mistake... I'd under no circumstances live it down!

Recent Fuel Drains in Whenby

Some reports:

I am not so excited about doing work on Sundays, and last week was the same. I'd just come away from the wife and kids filled with a tasty dinner prepared by the missus, and I was en route to help a gentleman who filled the incorrect fuel in his Jaguar. He was somewhere in Whenby and so I was there almost immediately. As I pulled up at the rear of the vehicle and got busy draining he told me "Thank God! I stupidly had my concentration on other considerations and did not perceive I'd put diesel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I caused any harm because of running it?" I explained that generally there probably should not be any kind of damage and that I would get the fuel drained at once for him. Obviously I removed the fuel from the car and filled up with some suitable fuel, and one more delighted motorist was able to carry on with their journey without any subsequent hassle. He could hardly stop saying thanks to me, and this is actually what can make earning a living on weekends in North Yorkshire a little better in my opinion!

Wrong Fuel in Car Whenby - Whenby Wrong Fuel Drain

A woman from Whenby with a full car of kids in her diesel Nissan had filled her vehicle with £30 of petrol at the Shell filling station. She called us sobbing and really upset as she had never put petrol in a diesel car and did not know what could happen to her car . We assured her that all would be alright and that she would be ready to go very quickly. When we got there she was visible distressed but as our technician started work on the fuel drain she simmered down as she saw that something could be done and her vehicle wasn't unfixable. She quickly cheered up and was up and running saying, "I really can't believe my misfortune putting the wrong fuel in my vehicle! Particularly with the kids in the back."
