It was about six pm on a Thursday and though we were promised a dry afternoon, it had not stopped raining! Ray and I were relaxing talking over the recent sports, at the ready for the seventh fuel drain for the day to arrive. Finally we received a call from a woman on a company excursion who had pulled into the Tesco filling garage in Hill Side and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Fiat hire car. The poor lady was fairly irritated it seemed, telling me "I can't believe I have ruined the car! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol car that I had did not remember I was driving a diesel!" We advised her to calm down and not to fret, and that things like this unfortunately do happen. She had managed to get the car to a secure spot and, since it was only a few minutes off from us, we could arrive at the lady quickly. The wrong fuel was drained so she was able to get back to the motel she was residing at. Although we got extremely drenched, it was all worth it seeing her drive away calm and much less worried. Yet another job in South Yorkshire done well in my opinion!

Listed here are the top services we give to our clients.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout South Yorkshire we have discovered a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination where somebody has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially due to motorists not being aware of how to work with it (please note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly near to each other on the automobile.

So, what exactly is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? As AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is actually like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Additionally, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

Contact us if you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can take care of all types of AdBlue contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is in many cases an important matter to address in a vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Having water inside your diesel or petrol will often contribute to idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed effectively, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove as compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both circumstances very easily.

Take note however that whenever the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be installed because the old one will be wholly wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to parking bay we can reach the tanks and drain out the fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

We've been called out to several private and commercial properties in South Yorkshire to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages.

We will get out to re-fill your car any time you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home.

Petrol in Diesel Hill Side - Hill Side Wrong Fuel

A person called us from his home on a road in Hill Side. He said, "My vehicle (a Volkswagen) is not starting up and is generating very bad sounds when I turn the key." He admitted that he had put petrol in his diesel car but then thought he would remedy the issue by putting more Diesel on top. We arrived promptly, did the drain and filled him up again with fresh Diesel. He told us after that he would be sure to inform people not to fill up over the wrong fuel but to have it drained immediately.
