It was before ten pm on a Monday and although we were assured a rainless afternoon, it hadn't given up on raining! Mark and I were resting commenting on the weekend's football results, waiting around for the next job to arrive. Before long we had a phone call from a lovely women on a business trip who had gone to the Shell petrol station in Downholland Cross and put petrol in her diesel SEAT rental. She was fairly troubled by the sounds of it, stating "I simply cannot believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I had forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I advised her to calm down and not to be concerned, also that such things unfortunately can happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle into a protected position and, seeing that it was no more than a few miles from our van, we were able to find the woman rather quickly. The bad fuel was taken out and she was able to go home to the hotel she was lodging at. Even though we got extremely soaked, it was all worth it seeing her drive home contented and much less worried. Yet another fuel drain in Lancashire done well in my opinion!

Our Areas of Competence :

Listed below are our top services we offer to our customers.

AdBlue Contamination

All around Lancashire we are identifying an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially stemming from people not knowing how to work with it (note: it's not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right adjacent to each other on the automobile.

So, exactly what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Because AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Furthermore, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

Call us if it turns out you are going through AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and are able to handle all types of AdBlue contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important condition to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines. Water in diesel or petrol may result in idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with fully, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to take care of both cases rather easily.

You should know however that so long as the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one will undoubtedly be totally wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to an automobile parking spot we can access the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We have done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel tank in the back of your premises full of unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous domestic and business properties in Lancashire to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even some containers in a storage shed, assuming that we can reach it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Downholland Cross (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a full Lancashire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will help to refill your vehicle in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at cost) and refill your vehicle. They are also able to take care of the standard troubles that can go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or even flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Downholland Cross - Downholland Cross Wrong Fuel in Car

I'd had a wonderful afternoon hiking on my day off and felt satisfied with myself the following day as I was en route to assist a young family on holiday in Downholland Cross. They'd stopped after putting petrol into their Kia, and were approximately an hour's travel away. I arrived at their location and smiled while I listened to the lady telling her man off for turning out to be so silly. "Just how could you even manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she asked him. I wanted to explain that this goes on constantly in Lancashire and that it's absolutely nothing to stress about, however he still got an earful by his better half. Unlucky boy. Anyway, I drained the wrong fuel, flushed the engine and gave them some appropriate fuel. Watching as they drove off I shouted so long and considered what her indoors would tell me if I did the same thing... I'd personally never live it down!
