It was around 5 pm on a Thursday and even though we were promised a dry afternoon, it hadn't given up on raining! James and me were resting there discussing the golf, waiting around for the sixth call to arrive. Inevitably we got the call from a lovely woman on a company excursion who had gone to the Sainsburys filling garage in Little Stainforth and filled petrol in a diesel Volkswagen rental. She was fairly irritated by the sounds of it, crying "I can't believe I have destroyed the car! I'm so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car I totally didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" I advised her to settle back and not to be concerned, also that these things sadly can happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle into a protected spot and, seeing that it was no more than a few miles away from the office, we could get to the lady almost instantly. The bad fuel was drained so she was able to return to the motel she was living in. Although we got very drenched, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive away calm and less apprehensive. One more fuel drain in North Yorkshire well done in my books!

Our Areas of Experience :

Here is a list of the wrong fuel services we deliver.

AdBlue In Diesel

In North Yorkshire we have discovered a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination where someone has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to some extent thanks to people not understanding the way to use it (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly next to each other on the car.

So, what exactly is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing as AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Furthermore, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it at once. And absolutely don't crank the car - not even to move it into a parking place. If perhaps you have started the car you would in all probability have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious situation to address in an automobile - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel is likely to cause idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of effectively, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to drain than water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both situations fairly swiftly.

Keep in mind though that in the event that the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the previous one will probably be totally wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or parked near to a vehicle parking bay we should be able to access the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir sitting in the rear of your premises with old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many domestic and industrial properties in North Yorkshire to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a number of containers in a garage, provided that we can reach it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Little Stainforth (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a comprehensive North Yorkshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can come to fill up your vehicle if you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at cost) to fill up your automobile. They will be able to handle any of the common troubles that could come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.
