It was before five pm on a Thursday and though we were assured a rainless night, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Dan and me were sitting going over the recent rugby results, waiting around for the next job of the day to arrive. In due time we received the call from a lady on a business excursion who had gone to the Esso filling station in Doncaster Common and put petrol in a diesel Mercedes hire car. The unfortunate thing was quite troubled it seemed, telling me "I still can't believe that I have ruined the car! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I had did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I just instructed her to calm down and not to worry, plus that these things can happen. She managed to move the vehicle to a protected position and, as it was no more than a few minutes off from the office, we were able to arrive at the lady rather quickly. The bad fuel was extracted and she was able to get back to the motel she was staying in. Despite the fact we got fairly soaked, it was all worth the effort to see her drive home contented and a lot less worried. Another fuel drain in South Yorkshire well done in my opinion!

Do you or your drivers often misfuel your vehicle? We can fix any associated issues.

AdBlue In Diesel

In South Yorkshire we are noticing a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partly thanks to people not being aware of how to use it (important: it's actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right near to one another on the vehicle.

So, what exactly is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Because the product is mainly ionised water, it's like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Also, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Give us a call in the event that you are going through AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to correct different types of AdBlue contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant situation to handle in a vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Having water in the diesel or petrol will likely result in idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out correctly, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to take care of both circumstances rather easily.

Remember however that as long as the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will likely be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Providing the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to a car or truck parking bay we should be able to access the tanks and drain out the fuel. We've undertaken numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Petrol in Diesel Doncaster Common - Doncaster Common Fuel Removal

I'd had a fantastic evening cycling on my off day and was feeling pleased with myself the next morning as I was on the way to assist a young couple on holiday in Doncaster Common. They'd stopped after adding the wrong fuel into their Audi, and were close to half an hour's travel away. I got there at their car and laughed while I heard to the girl telling her partner off for being so silly. "Just how could you even find a way to fill the car up with the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I attempted to explain that this situation takes place on daily basis in South Yorkshire and that it's absolutely nothing to be anxious about, but he in spite of everything got an ear bashing. Unfortunate chap. Anyways, I cleaned up and removed the contaminated fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave it some correct fuel. Watching them drive away I shouted good-bye and considered what her indoors would ask me if I made the exact same blunder... I would under no circumstances live it down!
