It was just before ten pm on a Friday and even though we were guaranteed a rainless day, it had not ceased raining! Mark and I were sitting there talking over the golf, at the ready for the next job for the day to arrive. Eventually we got a phone call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had arrived at the Texaco petrol garage in Meadow Head and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Dacia rental by mistake. The poor thing was very distressed by the sounds of it, saying "I cannot believe that I've destroyed the car! I am so used to filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just advised her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and that these things regrettably often happen. She had managed to relocate the car to a safe spot and, seeing that it was no more than a few miles off from the office, we could reach the woman almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got very drenched, it was all rewarding to see her drive home relaxed and a lot less apprehensive. Yet another misfuel correction in South Yorkshire done well in my books!

This is what we do best.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout South Yorkshire we are noticing a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent due to drivers being unsure of how to to make use of (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly next to each other on the vehicle.

Now, exactly what is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing that the product is predominantly ionised water, it is actually like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Also, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

If you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And of course never start up the motor - not even to shift it into a parking place. If perhaps you have started the car you may most likely need to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant condition to take care of in a motor vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Water in fuel will likely bring about idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with fully, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out than water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we can handle both cases rather quickly.

Keep in mind however that any time the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter to be installed because the old one will undoubtedly be totally wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or situated near to a car or truck parking bay we can access the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

We've been called out to many privately owned and industrial properties in South Yorkshire to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages.

Wrong Fuel in Car Meadow Head - Meadow Head Fuel Rescue

A man contacted us from his place on a close in Meadow Head. He pronounced, "My vehicle (a Renault) is not starting and is producing awful sounds when I turn the ignition." He confessed that he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle but then thought he would fix the issue by putting extra Diesel on top. We got there promptly, performed the drain and filled it up once more with clean Diesel. He told us that he would be sure to inform people not to fill up in addition to the incorrect fuel but to have it drained immediately.
