It was just after 6 pm on a Monday and even though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Mark and I were sitting going over the weekend's footy rankings, waiting around for the 6th call for the day to arrive. In due time we got a call from a young lady on a company excursion who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol station in Norton-on-Derwent and put petrol in her diesel Toyota rental by mistake. She was rather distressed apparently, crying "I still can't believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling my petrol vehicle I totally did not remember that I was running a diesel!" I just asked her to relax and not to fret, also that such things regrettably can happen. She had managed to move the vehicle to a safe spot and, seeing that it was just a short distance away from our van, we were able to find her almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was removed and she was able to go home to the hotel she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got very drenched, it was all worth it to see her drive away satisfied and much less concerned. Yet another fuel drain in North Yorkshire done well in my opinion!

Below are our top services we give to our customers.

AdBlue In Diesel

In North Yorkshire we are noticing an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is mainly as a consequence of people not being totally sure the right way to to make use of (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right near to each other on the vehicle.

So, what is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Since AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

Contact us if it turns out you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to handle different types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, can be an important situation to handle in an automobile - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel is likely to produce idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of effectively, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. However we can resolve both cases very quickly.

Keep in mind that any time the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one will be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to a car or truck parking bay we can reach the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have carried out quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container in the rear of your garden full of unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many privately owned and industrial premises in North Yorkshire for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or even some drums in a storage shed, provided that we are able to get to it, we are able to empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Norton-on-Derwent (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a full North Yorkshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to fill up your automobile in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump price) and fill the car. They can also fix the standard troubles which might accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to start, as well as flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
