It was just after five pm on a Friday and even though we were promised a dry and fresh night, it hadn't ceased raining! Ryan and I were seated discussing the recent football results, at the ready for the 6th job for the day to come in. In due time we received a call from a lovely women on a business excursion who had gone to the Texaco filling garage in Stainforth and filled petrol in a diesel MINI rental car in error. The poor thing was somewhat agitated by the sounds of it, crying "I still cannot believe I have messed up the car! I'm so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I had didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I told her to settle back and not to fret, and that things like this unfortunately often happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle into a protected spot and, seeing as it was no more than a short distance from the office, we were able to get to the customer almost instantly. The wrong fuel was taken out so she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was living at. Although we got really soaked, it was all rewarding seeing her drive home relaxed and less apprehensive. Yet another job in South Yorkshire done well in my mind!

Services Our Company Offers:

Here is a list of the wrong fuel services we give.

AdBlue In Diesel

In South Yorkshire we are noticing a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination where an individual has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent due to drivers not being totally sure the way to work with it (pay attention: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly close to each other on the automobile.

Well, what's the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it's just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Apart from this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out at once. And definitely don't start the car - not even to move it to a parking bay. In the event that you have started the car you would likely have to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant situation to deal with in a motor vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank will likely result in idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed properly, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain in comparison with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both cases very easily.

Bear in mind that if ever the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted because the old one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or situated close to a car parking spot we are able to gain access to the storage and remove the fuel. We have carried out numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel container laying at the back of your garden with old, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous privately owned and industrial properties in South Yorkshire to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even several containers in a shed, as long as we are able to get to it, we can drain it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Stainforth (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a comprehensive South Yorkshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to refill your automobile in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at pump price) and fill your car. They are also able to fix the typical problems which may go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, and even flat batteries due to over-cranking.

A gentleman phoned us from Stainforth saying he had mistakenly pumped unleaded in his diesel Ford. "Unbelievable! How could I put petrol in my beautiful diesel car!"
