Services We Offer:

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

AdBlue In Diesel

In South Yorkshire we are discovering an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination where someone has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent due to motorists not knowing the way to use it (note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly near to each other on the car.

So, precisely what is the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Because AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is actually like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Additionally, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

In the event that you put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And obviously be careful not to switch on the engine - not even to maneuver it from the pump. In the event that you did start the car you would very likely have to have the full fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is usually a serious situation to address in a vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines. Having water in your diesel or petrol can easily bring about idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out properly, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove when compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both cases fairly simply.

Keep in mind that if ever the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will likely be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to a vehicle parking bay we should be able to access the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel tank placed in the back of your garden full of unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several domestic and commercial properties in South Yorkshire to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a few containers in an outbuilding, as long as we are able to reach it, we are able to empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Shafton Two Gates (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a complete South Yorkshire Out of Fuel Service. We will help to re-fill the car in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at pump price) to fill up your vehicle. They can also handle any of the normal problems which can go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, and even dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.
