It was around ten pm on a Thursday and although we were assured a dry evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Dan and me were relaxing there discussing the recent sports, prepared for the 8th job of the day to arrive. In due time we had a phone call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had gone to the Esso filling garage in Fulwood and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Fiat hire car by mistake. She was rather affected apparently, saying "I still can't believe that I have wrecked the car! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol car I totally did not remember that I was running a diesel!" I told her to settle back and not to fret, plus that such things unfortunately often happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle to a secure area and, as it was no more than a few minutes off from us, we were able to reach her swiftly. The bad fuel was removed so she was able to go home to the motel she was lodging in. Despite the fact that we got fairly wet, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive off calm and a lot less stressed. Yet another misfuel correction in South Yorkshire done well in my opinion!

Here's a list of the wrong fuel services we give.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In South Yorkshire we are discovering a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination where someone has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly a result of motorists not understanding the way to work with it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly close to one another on the automobile.

Well, what's the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Additionally, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If you put AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it immediately. And most definitely be careful not to turn over the car - not even to move it to a parking bay. In the instance that you did start the car you will very likely have to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is petrol or diesel, is certainly a significant issue to take care of in an automobile - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water in your diesel or petrol will produce idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not sorted out correctly, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove in comparison with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can solve both situations fairly swiftly.

Keep in mind that whenever the vehicle was started 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 useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to an automobile parking bay we will be able to access the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We have succesfully done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel tank lying in the back of your garden containing old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few domestic and business premises in South Yorkshire to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps several drums in a shed, if we can reach it, we can drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Fulwood (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a full South Yorkshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can help to refill your car in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at cost) to fill up your automobile. They can also take care of any of the usual problems which might accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe dead batteries due to over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Assist Fulwood - Fulwood Petrol in Diesel

I enjoyed a perfect afternoon golfing on my day off and felt satisfied the next day as I headed out to assist a new couple on vacation in Fulwood. They'd pulled over after filling the wrong fuel in their Jaguar, and they were approximately half an hour away. I got there at their car and laughed to myself as I heard to the girl berating her hubby for being so stupid. "Precisely how could you possibly manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she told him. I attempted to clarify that this comes to pass all the time in South Yorkshire and that it's nothing to worry about, however he in spite of everything got an ear bashing by his wife. Poor chap. Anyways, I cleaned up and removed the wrong fuel, flushed the engine and filled it up with the appropriate fuel. Watching them drive off I mouthed bon voyage and considered what her indoors would tell me if ever I did the same thing... I'd personally never ever live it down!
