It was close to 10 pm on a Thursday and even though we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't given up on raining! Dan and me were sitting there going over the recent sports rankings, waiting around for the seventh call of the day to come in. In due time we got the call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had gone to the Sainsburys filling garage in Richmond and put petrol in her diesel Lexus rental in error. The poor thing was pretty distressed it seemed, stating "I can not believe that I have messed up the car! I'm just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car I had did not remember that I was running a diesel!" I advised her to settle back and not to be concerned, and also that such things unfortunately do happen. She managed to get the car to a protected position and, seeing that it was only a short distance off from the office, we could arrive at her fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was removed so she could get back to the Premier Inn she was living in. Even though we got extremely wet, it was all worth the effort to see her drive away contented and much less apprehensive. One more fuel drain in North Yorkshire well done in my books!

Services We Give:

Here's a list of the wrong fuel services we offer.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout North Yorkshire we are discovering an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is in part stemming from drivers not being aware of the way to work with it (please note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right next to one another on the automobile.

So, what's the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it's like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Also, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Give us a call if it turns out you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to take care of different types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant matter to take care of in an automobile - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Having water in petrol or diesel is going to lead to idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not addressed effectively, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both cases rather simply.

Remember however that so long as the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will be completely water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or situated near to a car or truck parking spot we are able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank placed at the rear of the garden with unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several privately owned and business properties in North Yorkshire to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a number of drums in an outbuilding, if we are able to get to it, we can drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Richmond (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a full North Yorkshire Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to fill up your automobile in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at pump prices) to refill your vehicle. They will take care of the standard problems that can accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, and even flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Richmond - Richmond Vehicle Misfuel

I had appreciated a great afternoon golfing during the weekend and was feeling delighted with myself the following working day as I was on the way to help a young couple who were away in Richmond. They conked out after putting diesel in their Hyundai, and were around an hour away. I emerged at their car and smirked to myself as I listened to the lady chastising her husband for being so silly. "Exactly how could you even manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she demanded of him. I tried to clarify that this problem takes place continuously in North Yorkshire and that it is absolutely nothing to get worried about, even so he in spite of everything got an ear bashing. I felt sorry for the boy. In any case, I cleaned up and removed all of the wrong fuel, flushed the motor and filled it up with the proper fuel. Watching as they drove down the road I waved farewell and pondered on what my wife would tell me if perhaps I did the same thing... I'd personally never ever hear the end of it!
