It was about eight pm on a Monday and though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring! Paul and me were seated talking over the golf results, waiting for the next call for the day to come in. Before long we had the phone call from a lovely women on a company expedition who had pulled into the Esso petrol station in Norton Woodseats and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Mazda lease car by mistake. She was rather troubled by the sounds of it, stating "I still can't believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I am so used to filling my petrol car I completely didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I just instructed her to settle back and not to fret, plus that these things sadly do happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle into a secure position and, since it was no more than a few minutes off from our van, we could reach the woman right away. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was lodging at. Even though we got very drenched, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive away calm and a lot less apprehensive. Yet another misfuel correction in South Yorkshire well done in my books!

Our Fields of Expertise:

This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout South Yorkshire we have seen progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially thanks to people not being totally sure the right way to to make use of (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right next to each other on the vehicle.

So, what exactly is the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Because AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it's like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Moreover, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

In case you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out right away. And absolutely never switch on the engine - not even to move it away from the pump. In cases where you did start the car you may very likely have to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually an important condition to address in an automobile - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Having water inside your diesel or petrol may well produce idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not sorted out correctly, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to solve both situations rather quickly.

Bear in mind however that if ever the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one is going to be wholly wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to a car or truck parking spot we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel tank laying in the rear of your garden containing unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of privately owned and commercial properties in South Yorkshire to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even numerous containers in a garage, provided that we can get to it, we are able to empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Norton Woodseats (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a comprehensive South Yorkshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to refill the car in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) to refill your vehicle. They will handle the typical issues which might go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to start, as well as flat batteries due to over-cranking.
