Wrong fuel in your car in Trumfleet? You've come to the right place. We are here to assist you in this time of need and get you moving again with our professional fuel drain assistance.

It was just after ten pm on a Friday and though we were promised a dry and fresh day, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Mark and I were resting talking over the rugby results, waiting around for the seventh telephone call for the day to arrive. In due time we had the call from a lady on a company trip who had gone to the Sainsburys filling station in Trumfleet and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Volkswagen rental car in error. She was fairly troubled by the sounds of it, crying "I simply can't believe I've wrecked the car! I'm so used to filling up my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember that I was running a diesel!" I asked her to relax and not to worry, and that things like this sadly can happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle into a protected position and, because it was no more than a few miles off from where we were, we could find her without delay. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to return to the hotel she was residing at. Despite the fact that we got really soaked, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive off contented and not so apprehensive. Yet another misfuel correction in South Yorkshire done well in my books!

Our Areas of Expertise :

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In Diesel

All around South Yorkshire we have seen an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination where somebody has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is mostly thanks to drivers not being aware of how to to make use of (note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly adjacent to each other on the car.

Now, precisely what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Since the product is mostly ionised water, it is just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Apart from this, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

Call us if you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will correct all types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious matter to deal with in a car - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel tank will contribute to idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out correctly, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to handle both situations fairly quickly.

Remember however that if ever the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will be completely wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or parked close to parking bay we can reach the storage and remove the fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel container laying in the back of your garden with unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few domestic and business premises in South Yorkshire to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even a few drums in a storage shed, provided that we can reach it, we could certainly empty it.

Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Trumfleet (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a full South Yorkshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to re-fill your car in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at pump price) to fill up the car. They will deal with any of the most common issues which may come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, as well as flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.
