Eventually we received a phone call from a girl on a business expedition who had gone to the Shell filling station in Barton-le-Street and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Vauxhall rental car by mistake. She was rather affected apparently, telling me "I just can't believe I've messed up the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to filling my petrol car I had did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I told her to settle back and not to be concerned, plus that such things sadly happen.

Our Areas of Competence :

Listed here are the top services we give to our customers.

AdBlue Contamination

In North Yorkshire we have noticed more and more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly thanks to drivers not being aware of the right way to use it (important: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right close to each other on the automobile.

Well, exactly what is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Furthermore, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained as quickly as possible. And most definitely do not switch on the vehicle - not even to move it from the pump. In case you have started the vehicle you may in all probability have to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a serious condition to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Water in diesel or petrol can produce idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied correctly, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of than water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both situations quite swiftly.

Remember though that if the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one is going to be wholly water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to an automobile parking bay we will be able to access the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've performed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

We've been called out to numerous privately owned and business premises in North Yorkshire to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages.
