Local Call-Out and Roadside Wrong Fuel Repair in Hemingfield

Incorrect fuel in your car in Hemingfield? You've come to the right place. We are here to aid you in this hour of need and get you going once again with our specialist wrong fuel removal services.

It was just before 6 pm on a Thursday and even though we were promised a dry and fresh night, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ray and I were seated commenting on the recent rugby rankings, ready for the 6th telephone call to arrive. Inevitably we got the call from a lady on a company excursion who had arrived at the Esso petrol garage in Hemingfield and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Porsche rental. She was fairly irritated it seemed, stating "I simply can't believe that I've messed up the car! I am so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I totally did not remember I was operating a diesel!" We advised her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and that such things unfortunately can happen. She had managed to maneuver the car into a safe space and, seeing as it was only a short distance away from the office, we were able to reach the customer without delay. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could go home to the motel she was residing in. Despite the fact that we got very wet, it was all worth the time to watch her drive off relaxed and less concerned. Another job in South Yorkshire well done in my mind!

Do you or your employees usually misfuel your car? We can solve any related issues.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around South Yorkshire we have seen progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to a degree a result of drivers not knowing the way to use it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly near to one another on the vehicle.

So, what's the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Because the product is mostly deionised water, it's like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

Assuming you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out asap. And most definitely don't start the motor - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. In the event that you have started the car you may likely have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is certainly a significant situation to handle in a car - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank may well produce idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with effectively, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to resolve both cases pretty simply.

You should know however that any time the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will likely be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to a vehicle parking bay we can gain access to the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir placed at the back of your garden containing aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous domestic and commercial properties in South Yorkshire to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even some drums in a storage shed, as long as we are able to reach it, we are able to drain it.

Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Hemingfield (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a complete South Yorkshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to re-fill your car any time you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at cost) and fill your car. They will be able to fix the normal issues that may accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Hemingfield - Hemingfield Petrol in Diesel

A man called us from Hemingfield to say he stupidly pumped unleaded in to his diesel Land Rover. "Shocking! How could I put unleaded in my nice diesel car!" It took the specialist roughly fifty minutes to fully drain the incorrect fuel from the vehicle. He meticulously flushed the fuel lines, filter and pumps and then put fresh diesel in the vehicle. The customer was happy and it didn't cost him dealer prices to get the task properly completed.
