It was around seven pm on a Tuesday and though we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Paul and I were sitting there going over the weekend's sports rankings, waiting around for the 6th job that day to come in. Before long we received a phone call from a lovely women on a business excursion who had arrived at the BP filling station in Oatlands and filled petrol in a diesel BMW rental car. The unfortunate lady was quite affected it seemed, crying "I cannot believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I am just so used to filling my petrol car I completely did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just told her to take it easy and not to fret, plus that things like this unfortunately happen. She managed to get the car into a protected spot and, seeing as it was only a few miles away from where we were, we were able to get to the woman swiftly. The incorrect fuel was drained and she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was living at. Despite the fact that we got really soaked, it was all worth the time to watch her drive away relaxed and not so apprehensive. Yet another job in North Yorkshire well done in my mind!

Do you or your employees frequently misfuel your vehicle? We can resolve any related issues.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout North Yorkshire we have noticed more and more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent a result of motorists being unsure of how to work with it (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly adjacent to one another on the car.

Now, what exactly is the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Since AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Moreover, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

Give us a call if it turns out you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can attend to all kinds of AdBlue contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually a serious condition to handle in a car - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel tank will often bring about idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out fully, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can resolve both cases rather swiftly.

Take note though that in the event that the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one is going to be totally wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to a vehicle parking bay we will be able to reach the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We've succesfully done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container placed at the back of the garden with unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few private and industrial properties in North Yorkshire to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even numerous drums in an outbuilding, as long as we can get to it, we can drain it.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Oatlands (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a full North Yorkshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to refill your car if you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at cost) to refill your car. They will be able to take care of the typical troubles that might go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to start, as well as dead batteries caused by over-cranking.
