It was after 7 pm on a Wednesday and while we were promised a dry afternoon, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Ray and I were seated there going over the golf, prepared for the seventh job that day to come in. Finally we received a phone call from a woman on a company excursion who had gone to the Tesco petrol garage in Crow Edge and filled petrol in a diesel Volvo lease car in error. She was quite distressed apparently, saying "I can't believe that I have wrecked the car! I'm just so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I completely didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" I told her to take it easy and not to fret, plus that such things sadly do happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle to a protected area and, as it was just a short distance away from the office, we could reach the woman almost instantly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was staying in.

Services We Provide:

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In Diesel

All over South Yorkshire we are encountering progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is mostly a result of drivers not understanding how to to make use of (be aware: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right next to one another on the vehicle.

So, what is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Since AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it's as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Additionally, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

In the case you put AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it at once. And definitely don't start the vehicle - not even to move it off the pump. In case you did start the vehicle you may in all likelihood have to have the full fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is usually a significant condition to take care of in a car - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water in fuel tank can produce idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed fully, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to take care of both circumstances fairly quickly.

Keep in mind however that in the event that the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one is going to be completely wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to a car or truck parking bay we will be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've carried out numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}
