It was before 10 pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry evening, it had not ceased pouring! Brian and I were resting commenting on the recent tennis rankings, ready for the next job of the day to arrive. Inevitably we received a phone call from a lovely woman on a company excursion who had arrived at the BP filling garage in Waldershaigh and put petrol in a diesel Renault hire car by mistake. She was very irritated it seemed, saying "I simply can't believe that I have destroyed the car! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol car I completely forgot that I was operating a diesel!" I instructed her to calm down and not to fret, and also that these things often happen. She had managed to move the car into a secure spot and, because it was no more than a few minutes away from us, we could get to her rather quickly. The wrong fuel was extracted so she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was lodging in. Even though we got very drenched, it was all rewarding to see her drive away relaxed and less anxious. A job in South Yorkshire well done in my opinion!

Our Areas of Competency :

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

AdBlue Contamination

All over South Yorkshire we are noticing a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially thanks to drivers not knowing the way to to make use of (important: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly next to one another on the vehicle.

So, what's the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel car? As AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

Phone us if you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will handle different types of AdBlue contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is certainly an important situation to deal with in a car - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel tank will often contribute to idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed fully, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to take care of both cases very simply.

Bear in mind though that if ever the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one will be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to a car parking bay we will be able to reach the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We've succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel tank sitting at the back of your garden with out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of domestic and commercial premises in South Yorkshire for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps numerous drums in a garage, providing we are able to access it, we can drain it.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Waldershaigh (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a complete South Yorkshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to refill your vehicle in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) and refill the car.
