It was just after seven pm on a Wednesday and though we were promised a dry evening, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ray and I were sitting discussing the recent football, prepared for the 8th telephone call to come in. Finally we had a call from a girl on a company excursion who had pulled into the Texaco filling station in Clifton and filled petrol in a diesel Vauxhall hire car. The poor lady was pretty distressed apparently, stating "I just can't believe that I've wrecked the car! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot that I was using a diesel!" I asked her to relax and not to be concerned, also that things like this sadly do happen. She had managed to maneuver the car to a protected area and, since it was just a short distance from us, we were able to find the lady right away. The bad fuel was taken out so she could get back to the hotel she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got really drenched, it was all rewarding to see her drive off relaxed and a lot less apprehensive. A misfuel correction in South Yorkshire done well in my opinion!

Our Areas of Experience :

Below are our top services we give to our customers.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout South Yorkshire we have encountered more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is mostly due to drivers not understanding the right way to to make use of (important: it is not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly near to one another on the car.

So, exactly what is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing that AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition to this, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

If you get in this scenario don?t panic! Contact us, the UK?s Number 1 fuel contamination company. Our engineers have got the technical competence and experience to get you back on the road promptly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious matter to deal with in an automobile - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel will result in idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not dealt with fully, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both situations pretty easily.

You should know however that so long as the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one is going to be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to parking bay we are able to gain access to the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel.

Petrol in Diesel Clifton - Clifton Vehicle Misfuel

I had appreciated a fantastic afternoon fishing on my day off and felt satisfied the next morning as I set off to assist a young family who were holidaying in Clifton. They conked out after adding the wrong fuel into their Lexus, and the car was close to half an hour's drive away. I emerged at their car and smirked to myself as I heard to the girl berating her hubby for being so silly. "Just how could you possibly manage to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I attempted to tell her that this takes place on a regular basis in South Yorkshire and that it's truly nothing at all to stress about, nonetheless he still had an ear bashing. Unfortunate guy. At any rate, I drained out the polluted fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled it up with the correct fuel. Watching them drive off I shouted good-bye and pondered on what my wife would ask me if ever I made the same error... I'd under no circumstances hear the end of it!
