Local Call-Out and Roadside Wrong Fuel Repair in Whitley Bridge

If you've put petrol in your diesel car in Whitley Bridge (wrong fuel Whitley Bridge) we are the company you need to call. We cover the whole of the Whitley Bridge territory and all surrounding zones.

It was after five pm on a Saturday and while we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it had not stopped raining! Ray and I were resting talking about the weekend's footy, at the ready for the next call to arrive. Finally we received the phone call from a lovely women on a company expedition who had gone to the Texaco filling station in Whitley Bridge and put the wrong fuel in a diesel SEAT rental. The poor lady was pretty agitated it seemed, telling me "I still cannot believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot I was running a diesel!" I just instructed her to settle back and not to be concerned, plus that these things do happen. She was able to move the car into a protected position and, because it was just a few miles from us, we were able to arrive at the customer fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was drained and she was able to return to the Travelodge she was lodging in. Even though we got very wet, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive away relaxed and much less worried. Another misfuel correction in North Yorkshire well done in my books!

Our Areas of Specialties:

We are ready to take the wrong fuel work.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In North Yorkshire we are finding increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent as a consequence of motorists not knowing how to use it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly close to each other on the car.

Now, what is the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out at the earliest opportunity. And of course take care not to crank the motor - not even to maneuver it into a parking spot. If perhaps you have started the car you would very likely need to have the entire fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is actually an important matter to handle in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel tank will cause idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of correctly, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can handle both cases quite swiftly.

Remember however that if ever the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the previous one is going to be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Providing the boat is either on land, or moored close to a car parking spot we will be able to reach the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've carried out many fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have a fuel reservoir lying in the rear of the garden containing old, unusable or degraded fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few private and commercial premises in North Yorkshire to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even some containers in a storage shed, provided that we are able to get to it, we can certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Whitley Bridge (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a full North Yorkshire Out of Fuel Service. We can come to re-fill your vehicle any time you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) to fill up your automobile. They can also handle any of the normal troubles which can go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even flat batteries caused by over-cranking.
