It was around six pm on a Friday and even though we were promised a dry and fresh night, it had not given up on raining! Paul and I were resting there commenting on the recent sports, waiting for the 8th telephone call to arrive. In due time we received the call from a girl on a company expedition who had gone to the Shell filling garage in Owston and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Hyundai hire car in error. She was rather troubled it seemed, crying "I cannot believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot I was using a diesel!" I just instructed her to calm down and not to worry, and that things like this regrettably can happen. She had managed to get the car into a safe position and, as it was just a few minutes from where we were, we were able to reach her right away. The incorrect fuel was removed so she could get back to the Premier Inn she was lodging in. Although we got pretty wet, it was all rewarding to watch her drive away satisfied and not so apprehensive. One more fuel drain in South Yorkshire done well in my mind!

Services Our Company Offers:

We can assist you with all these mis-fuel problems.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout South Yorkshire we are identifying progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is in part caused by motorists not being totally sure how to use it (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and partly because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly next to each other on the car.

Well, what is the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? As the product is mainly deionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Additionally, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Contact us in the event that you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and have the ability to handle different types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is usually a significant condition to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Water in your fuel will likely bring about idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of correctly, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain as compared to water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both situations pretty quickly.

Remember however that so long as the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to a car or truck parking spot we are able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank lying in the rear of your premises full of unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few private and commercial premises in South Yorkshire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a few drums in a shed, provided that we are able to get to it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Owston (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a complete South Yorkshire Out of Fuel Service. We can help to fill up your car any time you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) and fill up your car. They will be able to handle the common troubles which might go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Owston, South Yorkshire

Wrong Fuel Doctor Owston - Owston Wrong Fuel

A person phoned us from his house on a road in Owston. He said, "My vehicle (a Suzuki) is not starting up and is generating very bad sounds when I flip the key." He admitted that he put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle but then thought he would solve the problem by putting extra Diesel on top. We showed up promptly, carried out the fuel drain and filled it up once again with fresh Diesel. He said after that he'd be certain to inform people not to fill up on top of the incorrect fuel but to have it drained promptly.
