It was about 9 pm on a Friday and although we were guaranteed a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't ceased raining! Dan and me were relaxing there talking over the weekend's footy rankings, waiting for the seventh fuel drain for the day to come in. In due time we got a phone call from a girl on a business expedition who had gone to the Texaco petrol garage in Knaresborough and put petrol in a diesel Mazda hire car by mistake. The poor lady was fairly affected it seemed, stating "I simply cannot believe that I've destroyed the car! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol car that I had did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just told her to settle back and not to worry, and that such things happen. She had managed to get the vehicle into a secure position and, as it was no more than a short distance from us, we were able to arrive at the lady fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was taken out and she was able to once again go back to the motel she was living in. Although we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth the time to see her drive home contented and much less anxious. Yet another job in North Yorkshire well done in my books!

Offered Services: Our Specialties:

Listed below are our top services we offer to our customers.

AdBlue In your Fuel

What you can do if you may have put Adblue into a Diesel tank? AdBlue is a solution made of a mixture of ionized water (67.5%) and urea.It tends to be disastrous to your vehicle's fuel system, particularly if you have had the engine running with Adblue in the fuel tank. Whenever the engine has been started up the Adblue will likely be pushed into your fuel lines and will rapidly start to crystalise, leading to serious and costly problems to your car's fuel system.

If in case you put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out at the earliest opportunity. And of course be careful not to turn over the vehicle - not even to relocate it off the pump. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you may probably have to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is usually a serious matter to handle in a car - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel can certainly contribute to idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed fully, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both situations pretty simply.

Remember however that if the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one is going to be completely water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to a vehicle parking bay we are able to gain access to the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have performed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir placed at the back of your premises containing unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several private and business properties in North Yorkshire to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps numerous containers in a storage shed, providing we can get to it, we are able to empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Knaresborough (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a full North Yorkshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to refill your vehicle in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at cost) to fill the car. They will be able to take care of any of the most common issues which can come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
