It was about five pm on a Saturday and although we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it had not ceased pouring! Brian and I were seated there talking about the weekend's rugby rankings, at the ready for the 6th telephone call to arrive. Before long we had a phone call from a girl on a business excursion who had pulled into the BP filling station in Slade Hooton and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Fiat lease car in error. The unfortunate lady was rather irritated it seemed, stating "I still can't believe that I have wrecked the car! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol car I had did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" We instructed her to relax and not to be concerned, and that these things unfortunately happen. She had managed to get the car to a safe spot and, since it was no more than a short distance from us, we were able to find the customer without delay. The incorrect fuel was drained so she was able to return to the hotel she was living in. Although we got fairly soaked, it was all worth the time to see her drive off calm and not so anxious. One more job in South Yorkshire well done in my opinion!

This is exactly what we do best.

AdBlue Contamination

All around South Yorkshire we have seen increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination when someone has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent thanks to people not understanding the way to work with it (take note: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Well, what exactly is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing as the product is primarily deionised water, it's as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Apart from this, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

Contact us if it turns out you are suffering from AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will attend to all kinds of AdBlue contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, tends to be a serious situation to address in a car - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water in diesel or petrol is going to trigger idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out correctly, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove as compared with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to take care of both cases fairly simply.

Keep in mind though that as long as the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed because the previous one will probably be wholly wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to a motor vehicle parking bay we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have performed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got a fuel container at the back of your premises containing out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many privately owned and commercial premises in South Yorkshire for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps some containers in an outbuilding, provided that we can reach it, we are able to drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Slade Hooton (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a complete South Yorkshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to re-fill the car in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump price) and fill up your car. They are also able to handle the most common issues that can come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or even dead batteries because of over-cranking.
