It was about 7 pm on a Monday and although we were guaranteed a dry night, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Ray and me were relaxing there going over the sports results, waiting around for the 8th telephone call to come in. In due time we had a phone call from a young lady on a company excursion who had arrived at the Shell petrol station in Bawtry and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Mercedes rental. The unfortunate lady was pretty irritated by the sounds of it, saying "I still can't believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle I totally forgot that I was driving a diesel!" We instructed her to calm down and not to worry, and that such things happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle to a protected area and, since it was no more than a few minutes from us, we were able to reach the customer swiftly. The wrong fuel was extracted and she could go home to the Premier Inn she was residing at. Despite the fact that we got pretty wet, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive off calm and less concerned. One more job in South Yorkshire well done in my opinion!

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout South Yorkshire we are noticing a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to some extent a result of people not being totally sure the right way to use it (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly adjacent to each other on the automobile.

So, what is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing that the product is mainly ionised water, it is just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Moreover, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you end up in this scenario don?t fret or panic! Call us, the UK?s Best fuel contamination service. Our experts possess the technical competence and working experience to have you back on the road promptly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious issue to handle in a vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel can easily lead to idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied properly, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove in comparison with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can resolve both situations fairly quickly.

You should know however that whenever the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will probably be wholly wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to a vehicle parking spot we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've undertaken numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel tank sitting at the back of your premises containing unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many domestic and industrial properties in South Yorkshire to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a few drums in a storage shed, providing we are able to access it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Bawtry (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a comprehensive South Yorkshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to fill up your automobile in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) to fill the car. They are also able to handle any of the common troubles which could accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to start, as well as flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue Bawtry - Bawtry Wrong Fuel in Car

I had a great evening hiking on my off day and felt satisfied the following working day as I set off to aid a new family holidaying in Bawtry. They had broken down after adding petrol into their Mercedes, and the car was approximately an hour away. I showed up at their location and smirked to myself as I heard to the gal telling her husband off for being so daft. "How could you possibly find a way to fill the vehicle up using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I attempted to explain that this kind of thing happens on a regular basis in South Yorkshire and that it is nothing to fret about, but he all the same had an ear bashing. Unlucky chap. At any rate, I cleaned up and removed the polluted fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled them up with the right fuel. Watching as they drove down the road I shouted bon voyage and pondered on what her indoors would say to me if ever I did the exact same thing... I would never hear the end of it!
