It was after 6 pm on a Saturday and while we were guaranteed a dry day, it had not stopped raining! Mark and I were sitting there going over the golf results, waiting for the 8th job of the day to arrive. Eventually we got the phone call from a young lady on a company excursion who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling station in Upper Tankersley and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Toyota hire car in error. The unfortunate lady was quite troubled apparently, saying "I simply can't believe I have messed up the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" I asked her to settle back and not to fret, and also that these things regrettably do happen. She had managed to maneuver the car to a secure spot and, seeing as it was no more than a few miles from our van, we could get to the customer fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could get back to the Premier Inn she was residing at. Despite the fact we got thoroughly drenched, it was all rewarding to see her drive away relaxed and a lot less apprehensive. Yet another fuel drain in South Yorkshire well done in my opinion!

Do you or your employees usually misfuel your vehicle? We can solve any related problems.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around South Yorkshire we are finding a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination where a driver has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially as a result of drivers not being aware of how to work with it (remember: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

So, precisely what is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Since AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Additionally, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

Should you discover youself to be in this predicament do not fret or panic! Call us, the UK?s Number one fuel contamination service. Our technicians have got the specialised skills and experience to have you back on your way quickly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is definitely a serious matter to handle in a car - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel will likely produce idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with properly, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out as compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both situations fairly simply.

Keep in mind however that whenever the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to a car or truck parking spot we should be able to access the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have completed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel reservoir lying at the rear of the garden with aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several private and commercial properties in South Yorkshire for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a few drums in a storage shed, provided that we are able to access it, we are able to empty it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Upper Tankersley (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a complete South Yorkshire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to re-fill your vehicle in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump price) and fill up the car. They will be able to deal with any of the normal issues which may accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
