It was after six pm on a Friday and while we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it hadn't ceased raining! Paul and me were relaxing talking about the recent golf, ready for the 8th call for the day to arrive. In due time we received the call from a lovely women on a company expedition who had pulled into the Esso filling garage in Hangsman Hill and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Citroen rental car in error. The poor thing was very troubled by the sounds of it, saying "I can't believe I've destroyed the car! I am just so used to filling up my petrol car that I totally didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I just advised her to settle back and not to worry, and that these things unfortunately happen. She managed to relocate the car to a secure space and, since it was only a short distance off from where we were, we could arrive at the lady rather quickly.

Our Fields of Expertise:

These are the fuel mistakes services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In Diesel

In South Yorkshire we have found a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially thanks to people not being aware of how to work with it (be aware: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right near to one another on the car.

So, exactly what is the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing that the product is primarily ionised water, it's as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Moreover, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

In the case you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it asap. And absolutely take care not to switch on the vehicle - not even to shift it away from the pump. If you have started the car you will very likely need to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is generally a serious issue to handle in a vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Water in your fuel tank will likely bring about idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of properly, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of 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 situations pretty simply.

Take note that any time the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will probably be totally wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to an automobile parking bay we are able to gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel tank laying at the rear of your premises full of out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous domestic and business premises in South Yorkshire to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even a number of containers in an outbuilding, assuming that we can reach it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Hangsman Hill (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a complete South Yorkshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to fill up your vehicle if you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at pump price) to fill your car or truck. They can also handle any of the usual troubles which may come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or even flat batteries due to over-cranking.
