Here's a list of the incorrect fuel services we deliver.

AdBlue In Diesel

All around South Yorkshire we have encountered a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination where somebody has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly thanks to drivers not knowing how to use it (note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right near to one another on the car.

So, what's the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Because the product is predominantly deionised water, it is actually just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If you find yourself in this position do not panic! Contact us, the UK?s Premium fuel contamination business. Our technicians possess the specialised knowledge and working experience to get you back on your way quickly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious matter to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol can certainly contribute to idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied properly, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of than water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. However we can deal with both cases quite simply.

Bear in mind though that whenever the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will probably be completely wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to a car or truck parking spot we are able to reach the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We have performed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank laying in the back of the garden containing aged, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of privately owned and commercial premises in South Yorkshire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or possibly even numerous drums in a garage, assuming that we are able to get to it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in New Totley (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a full South Yorkshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to refill the car in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) and fill your car. They will deal with any of the usual problems which may go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or even flat batteries due to over-cranking.
