Wrong Fuel Drain Claughton - Claughton Fuel Removal

Just had a good night's sleep! 7:00 in the morning on a bright Saturday and I was off to assist an old lady after she put petrol in her diesel Fiat in Claughton. She informed us that she drove away from the filling station forecourt and was stranded in a country road on route to see her family. I plugged the location straight into the TomTom and got there in less than an hour or so. I turned up at the location and removed the contaminated fuel in the car car. Whilst I was working she said to me, "I'm getting relatively absent-minded in my senior years and did not remember about the vehicle working with diesel seeing that I'd only just got it a few days back when my old car, which I'd used for about 30 years, inevitably gave up the ghost". I finished the drain and she presented me a toffee and said thanks. What a pleasant Lancashire lady!

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Lancashire we are finding increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination when somebody has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is partly as a consequence of people not knowing the right way to work with it (note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Now, what exactly is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? As AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is actually like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In the case you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And absolutely be careful not to start up the car - not even to move it into a parking area. In the event that you have started the vehicle you may in all probability need to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is generally a significant situation to handle in a motor vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Water in the fuel is likely to lead to idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out effectively, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of compared to water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can handle both cases rather quickly.

Remember however that so long as the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. As long as the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to a car parking bay we are able to access the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel container in the back of your premises with out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several privately owned and industrial premises in Lancashire for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps numerous drums in a storage shed, if we are able to reach it, we are able to drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Claughton (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a complete Lancashire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to refill your car if you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) to fill your vehicle. They will deal with the most common problems that may go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even dead batteries due to over-cranking.


Wrong Fuel in Car Claughton - Claughton Vehicle Misfuel

A while back a young man contacted us just after his Smart stopped working on a road in Claughton. He had by mistake put unleaded in the diesel car and was only able to drive as far as the road before needing to halt. It was still early in the morning and our engineer, who stays locally, got to him in less than fifteen minutes. We were able to drain the wrong fuel and put fresh diesel yet again into the vehicle. "Sincere kudos to you for your timely response, especially at 1 a.m., I appreciate it."


Recent Fuel Drains in Claughton

Some reports:

We did a wrong fuel removal exercise on the drive of a spectacular house in Claughton a few weeks ago. "I put unleaded in my diesel car and managed to nearly reach home when my car quit." Our fuel drainer went out, despite the fact that it was rather late at night, and carried out a fuel drain and cleanse on the Chevrolet to everyone's satisfaction.

This was most definitely what we call the graveyard shift. It was about 2am and noone was around. It had been fairly uneventful until now, and Paul and I were relaxing looking at several old newspapers. This was an unusual calm moment in Lancashire. It was so tranquil that the instant the phone rang I jumped! The customer on the opposite end told me: "I ended my night shift and incredibly put the wrong fuel in my Jaguar in error". I instructed him to tell us exactly where the vehicle was located and we left, getting to him in Claughton no more than 30 minutes later. The wrong fuel was cleared from the motor and he said many thanks for showing up so rapidly. As we were going back to base we spotted two young women on the edge of the street who seemed to have a flat. Accordingly we pulled up and helped them change it, much to their delight.

I appreciated a fantastic afternoon cycling during my afternoon off and felt contented with myself the following working day as I set out to aid a young family vacationing in Claughton. They had broken down after putting diesel into their Volkswagen, and they were around an hour's travel away. I arrived at their location and smiled as I listened to the girl telling off her hubby for turning out to be so confused. "Just how could you even find a way to fill the vehicle up with the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I attempted to clarify that this happens regularly in Lancashire and that it's nothing at all to fret about, but he all the same had an ear bashing. Unlucky guy. In any case, I cleaned up and removed all of the contaminated fuel, flushed the motor and gave them some appropriate fuel. While watching them drive away I waved bon voyage and pondered on what my missus would do to me if I made the exact same error... I'd never hear the end of it!
