It was around six pm on a Wednesday and although we were assured a dry and fresh night, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ray and I were sitting there talking about the rugby results, waiting around for the sixth telephone call to arrive. In due time we had a phone call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had arrived at the Esso petrol station in Ecclesall and put petrol in a diesel Volkswagen rental car. She was very irritated by the sounds of it, stating "I still can't believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car I had didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I asked her to settle back and not to fret, also that such things unfortunately happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle into a secure spot and, as it was only a short distance from where we were, we were able to reach the woman right away. The bad fuel was drained so she was able to return to the Travelodge she was lodging in. Despite the fact we got pretty soaked, it was all worth the time to watch her drive off calm and not so concerned. A misfuel correction in South Yorkshire done well in my mind!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In South Yorkshire we are identifying an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent caused by people being unsure of the right way to to make use of (pay attention: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly next to one another on the automobile.

Now, what is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing that the product is predominantly deionised water, it's just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

If in case you put AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it right away. And most certainly don't start the car - not even to shift it to a parking bay. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you would almost certainly have to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a serious condition to deal with in an automobile - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank will produce idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not dealt with fully, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out as compared with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to take care of both situations very swiftly.

Remember however that in the event that the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will be completely wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or secured close to parking bay we can reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have completed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel tank sitting at the rear of the garden containing aged, useless or degraded fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several domestic and commercial premises in South Yorkshire to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even several drums in a garage, if we can get to it, we can certainly drain it.

Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Ecclesall (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a comprehensive South Yorkshire Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to fill up your vehicle any time you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) and fill your car. They will deal with the usual troubles that could go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.
