It was after five pm on a Monday and even though we were promised a rainless evening, it had not stopped raining! Mark and me were relaxing commenting on the football results, at the ready for the next telephone call that day to arrive. Inevitably we got a call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had pulled into the Shell filling station in Bolsterstone and filled petrol in a diesel Peugeot rental car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was very troubled by the sounds of it, saying "I simply cannot believe that I have wrecked the car! I am just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I totally did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" We told her to settle back and not to fret, and that things like this sadly do happen. She was able to move the vehicle into a safe position and, because it was no more than a few miles from where we were, we were able to arrive at her rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was taken out so she could go home to the motel she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got fairly drenched, it was all rewarding seeing her drive away satisfied and a lot less concerned.

Our Areas of Expertise :

We are ready to take the wrong fuel work.

AdBlue Contamination

In South Yorkshire we are finding increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partly stemming from motorists not knowing the right way to work with it (be aware: it is actually not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right near to one another on the car.

So, what is the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it's like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Furthermore, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it right away. And definitely do not switch on the engine - not even to shift it to a parking place. In cases where you have started the car you may likely have to have the entire fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important condition to address in a car - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water in your diesel or petrol will often contribute to idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed effectively, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove than water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. However we are able to solve both cases rather quickly.

Remember that if the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one is going to be totally wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to a car or truck parking bay we can gain access to the storage and drain out the fuel. We have undertaken many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank placed at the back of the garden containing old, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and industrial premises in South Yorkshire to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even some drums in a garage, assuming that we are able to reach it, we are able to drain it.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Bolsterstone (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a complete South Yorkshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to refill your automobile in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) to fill up your vehicle. They are also able to fix the standard issues which can accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Bolsterstone - Bolsterstone Wrong Fuel

I enjoyed a wonderful day cycling on my day off and was feeling pleased the next day as I headed out to help a new couple on holiday in Bolsterstone. They had stopped after filling petrol in their Volkswagen, and they were about half an hour's drive away. I turned up at their car and smirked as I heard to the girl telling her hubby off for being so stupid. "Exactly how could you actually manage to fill the car up with the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I wanted to explain that this kind of thing goes on regularly in South Yorkshire and that it's nothing at all to be anxious about, but he in spite of everything had his ear bent by his better half. Unfortunate lad. Anyway, I drained the wrong fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled them up with the correct fuel. While watching them drive away I waved goodbye and wondered what my missus would do to me if perhaps I made the very same blunder... I would never ever live it down!
