It was before 8 pm on a Tuesday and while we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Paul and I were resting there going over the recent footy results, prepared for the seventh job for the day to come in. Finally we received a call from a girl on a business expedition who had gone to the Sainsburys filling station in Hooton Roberts and put petrol in a diesel Lexus lease car in error. The poor thing was very troubled by the sounds of it, crying "I just can't believe I have wrecked the car! I'm so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car I totally forgot I was operating a diesel!" I advised her to relax and not to fret, and that these things sadly happen. She was able to move the car to a safe space and, as it was just a short distance away from where we were, we were able to arrive at the customer swiftly. The incorrect fuel was taken out so she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was living at. Despite the fact that we got very wet, it was all worth the time to see her drive home satisfied and much less anxious. Yet another fuel drain in South Yorkshire done well in my opinion!

AdBlue In Diesel

In South Yorkshire we are encountering progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination where somebody has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is mainly thanks to motorists being unsure of the way to work with it (please note: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right next to each other on the car.

So, exactly what is the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing that the product is primarily ionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Furthermore, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it as soon as possible. And of course be careful not to start the motor - not even to move it into a parking place. If perhaps you have started the car you may in all likelihood need to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, tends to be an important matter to handle in a car - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water in fuel tank may contribute to idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out properly, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can take care of both cases pretty easily.

Take note that as long as the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one is going to be completely wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or situated close to an automobile parking spot we are able to reach the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We've carried out many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel reservoir lying in the rear of your garden full of out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and business properties in South Yorkshire to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even some containers in an outbuilding, provided that we can access it, we can empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Hooton Roberts (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a comprehensive South Yorkshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to refill your vehicle if you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at pump price) to refill the car. They will be able to handle the standard issues that might come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Hooton Roberts - Hooton Roberts Vehicle Misfuel

A motorist had conked out off a street in Hooton Roberts. His Smart motor had ceased working and he'd no idea what was awry until he noticed he had put petrol in his diesel vehicle.
