It was just after ten pm on a Friday and even though we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it had not ceased raining! James and me were sitting there discussing the recent football, at the ready for the next job that day to arrive. Finally we got the call from a young lady on a company expedition who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling station in Yarm and put petrol in a diesel MG lease car by mistake. She was quite irritated apparently, saying "I cannot believe that I have ruined the car! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally did not remember that I was running a diesel!" I told her to settle back and not to be concerned, and that such things can happen. She was able to move the vehicle into a safe area and, seeing as it was only a few minutes from us, we could find her right away. The incorrect fuel was drained so she could go home to the motel she was staying at. Although we got extremely soaked, it was all worth the effort to see her drive home satisfied and not so stressed. A misfuel correction in North Yorkshire done well in my opinion!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over North Yorkshire we have seen a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partly as a result of motorists not being totally sure how to to make use of (remember: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right close to one another on the automobile.

Well, precisely what is the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Apart from this, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out right away. And definitely don't start the vehicle - not even to maneuver it to a parking spot. If perhaps you did start the car you will in all probability need to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important situation to take care of in an automobile - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Water in your diesel or petrol is going to lead to idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with effectively, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to handle both cases pretty easily.

You should know that if ever the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will probably be totally water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to a vehicle parking bay we can reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have completed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank at the rear of your premises full of out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few domestic and industrial properties in North Yorkshire to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered 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 tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even several drums in an outbuilding, providing we are able to get to it, we are able to empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Yarm (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a full North Yorkshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to fill up your car in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at cost) to refill the car. They are also able to take care of any of the common issues that may come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to start, as well as dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Yarm - Yarm Fuel Drain

A person phoned us from Yarm to state that he mistakenly pumped petrol in to his diesel Porsche. "What a nightmare! How could I put unleaded in my lovely diesel car!" It took our technician approximately fifty minutes to fully drain the incorrect fuel from the car. He thoroughly purged the fuel lines, filter and pumps and put clean diesel in the vehicle. The customer was delighted and it hadn't cost him car dealership prices to have the work professionally done.
