It was about ten pm on a Tuesday and although we were assured a dry day, it hadn't stopped pouring! Dan and I were resting there going over the rugby, ready for the sixth call to arrive. Finally we had the phone call from a young lady on a company expedition who had pulled into the Sainsburys filling station in Thornborough and filled petrol in a diesel Land Rover lease car in error. The poor lady was pretty distressed apparently, crying "I still cannot believe that I have messed up the car! I'm so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I advised her to settle back and not to worry, also that these things regrettably often happen. She had managed to get the vehicle into a protected spot and, seeing that it was just a short distance from our van, we could arrive at the woman almost instantly. The incorrect fuel was drained so she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was staying in.

What a fantastic night's sleep! 7:30 am on a warm Tuesday and I was en route to assist an old lady after she had put the wrong fuel in her diesel Volkswagen in Thornborough. She told us that she drove away from the petrol station and was broken down on a country lane on route to visit her family. I plugged the location straight into the Satnav and arrived inside an hour or so. I reached the car and extracted the contaminated fuel from the car.

He admitted that he had put petrol in his diesel vehicle however imagined he would fix the issue by putting additional Diesel on top. We were on scene quickly, performed the drain and filled it up again with untainted Diesel. He said after that he'd be certain to explain to people not to fill up on top of the wrong fuel but to get it cleaned out right away.

Services We Offer:

These are the fuel mistakes services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout North Yorkshire we are encountering an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent a result of motorists not being aware of how to use it (note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right close to each other on the car.

Now, what's the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing that the product is primarily ionised water, it's like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank remove it immediately. And of course don't start up the car - not even to move it to a parking bay. Assuming you have started the car you will very likely need to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is petrol or diesel, is generally a significant matter to handle in an automobile - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in your diesel or petrol may bring about idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied effectively, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out as compared with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can take care of both cases fairly easily.

You should know though that so long as the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter to be installed because the previous one will likely be thoroughly wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to a car or truck parking bay we will be able to access the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have a fuel reservoir placed at the back of your premises containing unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several domestic and commercial properties in North Yorkshire to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a few containers in a garage, assuming that we are able to get to it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Thornborough (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a comprehensive North Yorkshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will come to refill the car in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) and fill up your vehicle. They can also deal with the standard issues which might go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Recent Fuel Drains in Thornborough

Reports from our Thornborough team:

We fairly recently had a phone call from a guy who had put the wrong fuel in his Mazda in Thornborough. He had broken down on the road. "I was pleased at how speedy you guys were in getting a technician out to help me after I foolishly put the wrong fuel in my. Thank you ever so much". It goes without saying that we were on-scene rapidly and flushed the engine after flushing all the unleaded from the diesel tank. On arrival the fuel drainer said the client was scowling, but was grinning his face off after the fuel drain.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Thornborough - Thornborough Vehicle Misfuel

A woman from Thornborough with her kids in her diesel Mazda had filled her vehicle with £42 of petrol at the Texaco petrol station. She called us weeping and really distraught as she had never put petrol in a diesel car previously and did not know what would happen to her vehicle in doing so. We told her that all should be fine and that she would be back up and running very quickly. When we arrived on scene she was visible distressed but while our technician started work on the fuel drain she simmered down since she recognised that something could be done and her vehicle wasn't ruined. She soon enough brightened up and was on the road again saying, "I just can't believe my misfortune putting petrol in my diesel vehicle! Especially with the little ones in the back."
