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

AdBlue Contamination

All over South Yorkshire we have noticed an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent stemming from people not understanding how to use it (note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually right near to each other on the car.

So, what's the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is actually like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition to this, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And absolutely never start the vehicle - not even to maneuver it to a parking bay. If you did start the car you would most likely have to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is in many cases an important situation to address in a car - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Having water in petrol or diesel can bring about idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out correctly, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out as compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can handle both situations fairly easily.

Be aware that whenever the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will likely be completely water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to a vehicle parking bay we can access the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel reservoir in the back of the garden full of out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many privately owned and industrial premises in South Yorkshire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or even a few drums in a garage, as long as we can reach it, we are able to empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Sandygate (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a complete South Yorkshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to refill the car in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) to refill your automobile. They will deal with any of the common issues that may come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or maybe flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Assist Sandygate - Sandygate Petrol in Diesel

I had enjoyed a wonderful day hiking on the weekend and felt satisfied the following working day as I set out to help a young couple who were on vacation in Sandygate. They had pulled over after putting diesel in their Peugeot, and the car was close to half an hour's drive away. I got there at their position and laughed to myself as I listened to the woman chastising her husband for turning out to be so daft. "Just how could you conceivably be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she demanded of him. I attempted to tell her that this happens on a regular basis in South Yorkshire and that it's actually nothing at all to stress about, nonetheless he yet still had an ear bashing. I felt sorry for the guy. In any case, I extracted the wrong fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave them some proper fuel. While they drove down the road I mouthed bon voyage and wondered what my missus would do to me if perhaps I did the very same thing... I would under no circumstances hear the end of it!
