A motorist conked out on a street in Totley had to have a fuel drain roughly a month ago. His Smart was broken down on the side of the road after he had put in the wrong fuel. He was relaxed when he contacted us but slightly concerned to get his car away from the road as he was triggering some traffic. We got to him in a quarter-hour since our technician was in nearby Totley and had finished a fuel drain. He said, "I just do not believe I put petrol in my diesel car and got stuck right here! My car was chugging I had to stop and after that it just conked."

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout South Yorkshire we are encountering a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination when a driver has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is partially caused by motorists being unsure of the right way to work with it (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right next to each other on the automobile.

Well, what is the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing as the product is mainly ionised water, it is just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Furthermore, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

In the event that you put AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it immediately. And most certainly take care not to start up the car - not even to relocate it to a parking place. In case you have started the vehicle you may almost certainly need to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is certainly a serious condition to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel will likely result in idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied properly, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of than water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can deal with both circumstances rather quickly.

You should know however that as long as the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the previous one will probably be wholly wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to a motor vehicle parking bay we can reach the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We've succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank in the rear of the garden with out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and business premises in South Yorkshire for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or even numerous drums in an outbuilding, if we can get to it, we could certainly drain it.

Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Totley (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a comprehensive South Yorkshire Out of Fuel Service. We can help to fill up your vehicle in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump price) to refill your vehicle. They are also able to fix the usual issues which can come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, as well as flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Totley - Totley Wrong Fuel

The other day a gentleman telephoned us when his Audi cut out along a street in Totley. He had by mistake put petrol in his diesel vehicle and had managed to get as far as the road before being forced to stop. It was still in the early hours of the day and our technical engineer, who resides close by, arrived with him in about fifteen minutes. We were able to get rid of the wrong fuel and put fresh diesel once again in to the car. "Thank you for your fast response, especially at 1 a.m., I genuinely appreciate it."
