Before long we got the phone call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had gone to the BP filling station in Canklow and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Mitsubishi lease car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was quite agitated it seemed, stating "I simply cannot believe that I have ruined the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I completely forgot I was using a diesel!" I just instructed her to settle back and not to worry, and that things like this unfortunately happen.

Services We Offer:

Here is a list of the wrong fuel services we offer.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over South Yorkshire we have noticed a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly caused by people not understanding how to work with it (take note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right near to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what's the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? As AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is actually just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Moreover, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

Call us if it turns out you are suffering with AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can easily take care of every type of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, can be a significant issue to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel tank may well trigger idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with fully, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out as compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both circumstances fairly expediently.

Be aware though that whenever the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the old one will undoubtedly be completely wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to a car or truck parking bay we can reach the storage and drain out the fuel. We've completed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank sitting at the back of your garden with out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and industrial properties in South Yorkshire for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even several containers in a storage shed, if we can get to it, we can certainly drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Canklow (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a full South Yorkshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to fill up your car any time you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) to fill up your vehicle.

Wrong Fuel in Car Canklow - Canklow Vehicle Misfuel

I had a fantastic day hiking on my off day and felt pleased with myself the next working day as I was en route to help a new couple on vacation in Canklow. They stopped after adding petrol in their Chevrolet, and they were approximately an hour away. I arrived at their position and smirked to myself as I listened to the woman telling her partner off for turning out to be so stupid. "Just how could you conceivably be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she told him. I attempted to clarify that this occurs frequently in South Yorkshire and that it's nothing to stress about, nevertheless he yet still got an ear bashing. I felt sorry for the lad. In any case, I extracted the polluted fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled it up with the appropriate fuel. While watching them drive off I shouted bon voyage and pondered on what my missus would do to me if I did the same thing... I'd under no circumstances live it down!
