It was close to 8 pm on a Thursday and although we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! James and me were seated there discussing the recent football results, waiting around for the seventh fuel drain that day to arrive. Before long we had a phone call from a lady on a business trip who had arrived at the Tesco filling garage in Great Eccleston and filled petrol in her diesel Chevrolet lease car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was rather affected by the sounds of it, telling me "I can't believe that I've ruined the car! I am so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I totally didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" We instructed her to take it easy and not to fret, and also that these things unfortunately can happen. She managed to get the vehicle to a secure position and, seeing as it was no more than a few miles from where we were, we were able to reach her almost instantly. The bad fuel was extracted and she could go home to the motel she was lodging in. Despite the fact that we got very wet, it was all worth the time to watch her drive home calm and a lot less apprehensive. Another job in Lancashire done well in my mind!

Our Areas of Experience :

Below are our top services we deliver to our clients.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Lancashire we have seen a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is mainly caused by drivers not knowing the right way to use it (important: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partly because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right near to one another on the automobile.

Well, what is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing as the product is primarily ionised water, it's like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Additionally, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

If in case you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it as soon as possible. And absolutely take care not to turn over the motor - not even to shift it into a parking area. In case you have started the vehicle you will in all probability have to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's petrol or diesel, is without question a significant issue to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Having water in the petrol or diesel can easily cause idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of fully, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out than water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can handle both cases pretty swiftly.

Be aware that whenever the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the previous one will likely be wholly wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to a vehicle parking bay we should be able to reach the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir lying in the rear of your premises containing out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous domestic and commercial properties in Lancashire for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a few drums in an outbuilding, as long as we can get to it, we are able to empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Great Eccleston (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a full Lancashire Out of Fuel Service. We will help to fill up the car if you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at cost) to fill the car. They are also able to fix the standard issues which can come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even dead batteries due to over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Great Eccleston - Great Eccleston Wrong Fuel

A gentleman had stopped near a street in Great Eccleston. His Dacia engine had ceased functioning and he'd no clue what was wrong till he realised he had put unleaded in his diesel car. He contacted us to get a fuel drain and that's when he told us: "I can't believe that I didn't comprehend that I put the wrong fuel in my car." He stated that he had gotten absolutely no rest the night before and that must have been the reason why.
