Wrong Fuel in Car Barugh, South Yorkshire

Local Call-Out and Roadside Wrong Fuel Repair in Barugh

Did you realise there're more than 150,000 cases of people filling their vehicles up with the incorrect type of fuel every year? In the event you have gone and done the same in Barugh, we can easily be of assistance. We are SPA accredited, and offers national cover for anyone who has mistakenly tanked up with the incorrect fuel.

It was around ten pm on a Saturday and though we were guaranteed a dry day, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Dan and I were relaxing commenting on the golf, prepared for the next fuel drain that day to come in. Finally we got the call from a lovely woman on a company excursion who had gone to the Tesco petrol garage in Barugh and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Peugeot hire car. The unfortunate lady was somewhat agitated it seemed, telling me "I still cannot believe I have messed up the car! I am so familiar with filling my petrol car that I totally forgot that I was using a diesel!" We advised her to settle back and not to worry, also that things like this sadly often happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle into a protected position and, as it was no more than a few miles from our van, we were able to get to her right away. The contaminated fuel was taken out and she could go home to the Travelodge she was staying at. Despite the fact we got pretty drenched, it was all rewarding to see her drive off satisfied and less stressed. One more misfuel correction in South Yorkshire well done in my opinion!

This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In South Yorkshire we have identified a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination where someone has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is mainly due to people not knowing how to use it (be aware: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right next to one another on the vehicle.

So, what exactly is the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? As the product is predominantly ionised water, it is almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition to this, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out at once. And of course take care not to start up the motor - not even to maneuver it to a parking place. In case you did start the car you would most likely have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious situation to address in a vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Putting water in your diesel or petrol is going to lead to idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied effectively, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of than water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can handle both situations very simply.

Remember that any time the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will undoubtedly be totally wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to parking bay we are able to reach the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We have completed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank laying at the back of the garden with unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many domestic and commercial properties in South Yorkshire to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps a few drums in a storage shed, as long as we are able to get to it, we are able to drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Barugh (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a full South Yorkshire Out of Fuel Service. We will help to fill up your car in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at pump prices) and fill the car. They will deal with any of the typical issues that may accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Barugh - Barugh Petrol in Diesel

I had a terrific afternoon golfing on my holiday and felt delighted the following day as I set out to aid a young couple who were holidaying in Barugh. They'd pulled over after adding the wrong fuel into their SEAT, and they were around an hour away. I emerged at their car and smiled to myself as I listened to the girl chastising her partner for turning out to be so confused. "Precisely how could you even manage to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I wanted to tell her that this occurs frequently in South Yorkshire and that it's absolutely nothing to worry about, nevertheless he all the same had an earful. Poor lad. Anyway, I cleaned up and removed the contaminated fuel, flushed the engine and filled it up with the correct fuel. Watching as they drove down the road I waved farewell and considered what my missus would do to me if ever I made the exact same blunder... I'd personally never hear the end of it!
