It was just after 5 pm on a Friday and while we were promised a dry day, it hadn't ceased raining! Ray and me were seated there commenting on the weekend's rugby rankings, at the ready for the seventh fuel drain of the day to come in. Finally we got the call from a lovely women on a business excursion who had arrived at the BP filling station in Throapham and put petrol in her diesel Audi lease car by mistake. She was quite affected apparently, stating "I can not believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I totally did not remember that I was running a diesel!" I instructed her to take it easy and not to fret, and that things like this regrettably happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle to a safe space and, as it was just a short distance away from the office, we could get to the lady swiftly. The wrong fuel was taken out so she could once again go back to the Travelodge she was lodging in. Despite the fact that we got pretty drenched, it was all rewarding seeing her drive off calm and less apprehensive. One more fuel drain in South Yorkshire well done in my mind!

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout South Yorkshire we have encountered an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partly caused by motorists being unsure of the right way to use it (please note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly next to each other on the automobile.

Now, exactly what is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing that AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it immediately. And certainly do not turn over the engine - not even to shift it to a parking spot. Assuming you have started the vehicle you would almost certainly need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is definitely a significant issue to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel tank is likely to lead to idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed correctly, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to clean out than water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can solve both situations pretty expediently.

You should know however that whenever the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one will likely be totally wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or secured near to an automobile parking bay we should be able to reach the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We've done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have a fuel reservoir sitting at the rear of the garden full of old, unusable or degraded fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several private and business properties in South Yorkshire to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even numerous drums in an outbuilding, providing we are able to access it, we are able to empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Throapham (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a comprehensive South Yorkshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can help to fill up your automobile in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at pump prices) to fill up your automobile. They will be able to handle the usual issues which could go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to start, as well as flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Throapham - Throapham Wrong Fuel in Car

I had enjoyed a wonderful evening cycling during my holiday and felt delighted with myself the following working day as I headed out to aid a young couple on vacation in Throapham. They'd stopped after adding the wrong fuel in their Ford, and they were roughly an hour away. I emerged at their position and smiled to myself while I heard to the wife telling her hubby off for being so silly. "Just how could you actually be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she said to him. I tried to explain that this kind of thing occurs on daily basis in South Yorkshire and that it's actually nothing to fret about, however he still got his ear bent. Unfortunate guy. In any case, I extracted all of the polluted fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled them up with the right fuel. Watching them drive away I shouted so long and considered what her indoors would ask me if I did the very same thing... I would personally never ever hear the end of it!
