It was close to 7 pm on a Saturday and while we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it had not stopped raining! Dan and I were seated discussing the weekend's football, prepared for the seventh fuel drain for the day to come in. Eventually we received a phone call from a lady on a company expedition who had arrived at the Shell filling garage in Birkacre and put petrol in her diesel Citroen rental car in error. The unfortunate thing was pretty affected by the sounds of it, telling me "I can't believe I've ruined the vehicle! I'm so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I completely didn't remember I was using a diesel!" We told her to relax and not to fret, also that things like this regrettably do happen. She was able to relocate the car into a secure position and, seeing as it was only a few minutes from us, we were able to find her swiftly. The bad fuel was extracted so she could go home to the motel she was staying in. Even though we got extremely wet, it was all worth the effort to see her drive away calm and not so worried. A misfuel correction in Lancashire done well in my books!

This is what we do best.

AdBlue In Diesel

How to proceed in case you may have poured Adblue into a Diesel tank? AdBlue is a liquid that is made out of a mix of urea (32.5%) and ionized water.It is definitely devastating to your vehicle's fuel system, particularly any time you started the car with Adblue in the fuel tank. As soon as the engine has been started up the Adblue will be pulled into the fuel lines and will promptly start to crystalise, triggering serious and expensive problems to your vehicle's fuel system.

In the event that you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained as quickly as possible. And of course do not crank the engine - not even to relocate it into a parking bay. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you may in all likelihood have to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant condition to take care of in a car - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Putting water in your petrol or diesel can easily lead to idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied effectively, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can solve both cases fairly quickly.

You should know however that so long as the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will likely be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we should be able to reach the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir placed in the rear of your garden full of out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous domestic and business properties in Lancashire to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a few containers in a garage, if we can get to it, we can drain it.

Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Birkacre (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a complete Lancashire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to fill up the car in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at cost) to fill your car or truck. They will be able to fix any of the normal troubles which can come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Birkacre - Birkacre Fuel Drain

A couple weeks ago a driver phoned us after his Chevrolet broke down in the middle of a street in Birkacre. He had inadvertently put unleaded in the diesel car and was only able to drive as far as the street before being forced to pull over. It was in the early hours of the day and our technical engineer, who resides locally, got to him in about twenty minutes. We were able to drain the incorrect fuel and put clean diesel once again into the vehicle. "Thank you for your prompt response, and in particular at 1 a.m., I really am grateful for it."
