It was just before 6 pm on a Wednesday and even though we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't given up on raining! Paul and I were seated talking over the footy results, ready for the seventh call to come in. Finally we had the phone call from a girl on a business excursion who had pulled into the Esso filling garage in Stocksbridge and put petrol in a diesel Skoda lease car in error. The unfortunate thing was fairly agitated apparently, saying "I simply can't believe I have wrecked the car! I am so familiar with filling my petrol car I had didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" We advised her to relax and not to be concerned, plus that these things sadly often happen. She had managed to get the car to a secure area and, as it was no more than a few miles away from the office, we were able to find the lady rather quickly. The bad fuel was drained so she could return to the Premier Inn she was residing at. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive home contented and a lot less anxious. Another fuel drain in South Yorkshire done well in my books!

Services Our Company Offers:

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

AdBlue Contamination

In South Yorkshire we have encountered a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination where an individual has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partially thanks to drivers not being totally sure how to work with it (take note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally right adjacent to each other on the car.

So, exactly what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Because the product is mainly ionised water, it is actually like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it as soon as possible. And absolutely don't start up the car - not even to maneuver it to a parking bay. In cases where you did start the vehicle you may very likely have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question an important situation to address in an automobile - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water inside your fuel tank can easily produce idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not sorted out properly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can solve both circumstances pretty easily.

You should know however that as long as the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will probably be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to parking spot we will be able to gain access to the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

We have been called out to many domestic and industrial premises in South Yorkshire to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or even a few containers in a shed, if we are able to get to it, we are able to empty it for you.

We can easily help to refill your vehicle if you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at home.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Stocksbridge - Stocksbridge Petrol in Diesel

I had a wonderful day hiking during my holiday and felt delighted with myself the next working day as I set off to assist a new couple who were vacationing in Stocksbridge. They pulled over after adding the wrong fuel into their Dacia, and were approximately an hour's drive away. I arrived at their location and laughed as I heard to the wife telling her man off for turning out to be so daft. "How could you even be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she demanded of him. I wanted to explain that this occurs quite frequently in South Yorkshire and that it's nothing to be concerned about, even so he yet still had an ear bashing by his wife. Unlucky boy. Anyway, I cleaned up and removed all the wrong fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave it some correct fuel. Watching while they drove away I shouted so long and pondered on what her indoors would do to me in the event that I made the very same mistake... I'd never ever live it down!
