It was about ten pm on a Thursday and although we were assured a rainless day, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Mark and I were sitting there commenting on the weekend's tennis results, waiting for the next job of the day to come in. Before long we got the phone call from a woman on a business expedition who had pulled into the Esso filling garage in Slade Hooton and filled petrol in a diesel Renault rental car. The poor thing was fairly agitated it seemed, telling me "I still cannot believe that I've ruined the car! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol car I completely didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just advised her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and also that things like this can happen. She managed to get the car to a protected position and, since it was only a short distance off from where we were, we were able to arrive at the woman almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was taken out and she could get back to the hotel she was lodging in. Despite the fact we got extremely drenched, it was all worth the time to see her drive away calm and much less anxious. A fuel drain in South Yorkshire well done in my mind!

This is what we do best.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In South Yorkshire we have found increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination where a person has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly caused by people not being aware of how to work with it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly close to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what's the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? As the product is mostly deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting 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 not work. In addition, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained as quickly as possible. And absolutely be careful not to crank the car - not even to move it to a parking bay. Assuming you did start the car you would likely need to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious situation to address in an automobile - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel can certainly bring about idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out properly, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove compared to water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. However we can solve both situations rather easily.

Bear in mind though that so long as the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one is going to be wholly water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or moored close to a car or truck parking bay we are able to access the tanks and remove the fuel. We have succesfully done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got an old fuel tank laying at the rear of the garden containing aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many privately owned and industrial premises in South Yorkshire to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even numerous containers in a storage shed, assuming that we can reach it, we can certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Slade Hooton (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a comprehensive South Yorkshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can help to fill up your automobile any time you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) to fill up your vehicle. They can also fix any of the standard issues that can accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or maybe flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Slade Hooton - Slade Hooton Fuel Removal

A person rang us from his home on a close in Slade Hooton. He exclaimed, "My car (a Mazda) is not starting and is creating dreadful noises when I flip the ignition." He admitted that he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel car but then reckoned he would resolve the issue by putting extra Diesel on top. We were on scene quickly, performed the fuel drain and filled it up once more with fresh Diesel. He told us after that he would be absolutely sure to inform people not to fill up in addition to the wrong fuel but to get it drained right away.
