It was about six pm on a Saturday and although we were guaranteed a rainless day, it hadn't stopped raining! Brian and I were sitting there talking about the weekend's golf, at the ready for the 8th job of the day to come in. Inevitably we received the call from a woman on a business trip who had gone to the Tesco filling station in Hollins End and filled petrol in her diesel Land Rover hire car by mistake. The poor thing was rather distressed it seemed, stating "I still can't believe I've messed up the vehicle! I'm so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember I was operating a diesel!" We instructed her to settle back and not to fret, also that these things unfortunately can happen. She managed to move the vehicle to a protected spot and, seeing that it was no more than a few miles off from the office, we were able to arrive at her quickly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to go home to the Premier Inn she was residing in.

Petrol in Diesel Hollins End - Hollins End Wrong Fuel

What a good night of sleep! 7:30 am on a gloomy Monday and I was off to help an old lovely lady who had put petrol in her diesel Suzuki in Hollins End. She told us that she drove away from the petrol station and was pulled up on a country lane en route to see her godchildren. I punched her location straight into the Satnav and got there inside an hour or so. I arrived at the car and extracted the contaminated fuel in the car vehicle. As I was working she said, "I'm getting rather absent-minded in my senior years and did not remember about the car needing diesel seeing that I had just acquired it a short while ago right after my other car, which I'd used for about twenty five years, eventually died on me". I got the job done and she gave me a toffee and said thanks. What a lovely South Yorkshire woman!

This is exactly what we do best.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In South Yorkshire we are encountering an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination when a driver has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to some extent as a result of motorists not being aware of the right way to work with it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right next to each other on the automobile.

Now, precisely what is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? As AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Furthermore, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

In the event that you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out right away. And of course don't start the motor - not even to shift it off of the pump. In case you did start the vehicle you may probably have to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a serious situation to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Water inside your petrol or diesel is likely to bring about idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of effectively, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of than water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to solve both cases fairly swiftly.

Keep in mind however that as long as the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to parking bay we are able to reach the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We've carried out numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

We've been called out to a number of domestic and industrial premises in South Yorkshire to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages.

Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a few containers in a storage shed, provided that we can reach it, we can drain it.

Vehicle Misfuel Hollins End - Hollins End Wrong Fuel Doctor

A young lady from Hollins End with her youngsters in her diesel Jaguar had put £40 of petrol at the Sainsburys filling station. She contacted us weeping and extremely distraught as she had never put petrol in a diesel car previously and did not know what would happen to her vehicle . We assured her that everything should be okay and that she would be up and running soon. When we arrived she was still distressed but while our technician got to work on the fuel drain she simmered down because she saw that help was at hand and her vehicle wasn't unfixable. She soon brightened up and was on the road again saying, "I simply can't believe my bad luck putting petrol in my diesel car! Particularly with the youngsters on board."
