It was close to 6 pm on a Wednesday and although we were guaranteed a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't ceased raining! Ray and I were relaxing commenting on the rugby, prepared for the 8th job that day to arrive. Inevitably we got a phone call from a lady on a business expedition who had pulled into the Texaco petrol station in Fir Vale and put petrol in her diesel Audi hire car. The poor lady was quite distressed apparently, telling me "I simply can't believe that I've messed up the car! I am so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car that I had did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" We asked her to calm down and not to fret, plus that these things sadly often happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle into a secure space and, since it was no more than a short distance off from the office, we could find the woman swiftly. The wrong fuel was extracted so she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was staying in. Despite the fact we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth it seeing her drive away relaxed and less apprehensive. One more job in South Yorkshire done well in my mind!

Do you or your employees usually misfuel your vehicle? We can resolve any related issues.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over South Yorkshire we are encountering progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part caused by drivers not being totally sure the right way to use it (important: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly near to each other on the car.

So, exactly what is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? As the product is predominantly ionised water, it is as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Additionally, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

Phone us in the event that you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to handle all types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is usually a serious condition to address in a car - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel will likely lead to idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not sorted out properly, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove compared to water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to resolve both cases very simply.

Take note however that if ever the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to parking bay we should be able to access the tanks and drain out the fuel. We have undertaken many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel container placed in the back of your premises containing aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and commercial premises in South Yorkshire for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even some containers in a garage, assuming that we are able to reach it, we could certainly empty it.

Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Fir Vale (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a complete South Yorkshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can come to refill your automobile any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) and fill up your car or truck.
