It was after 9 pm on a Tuesday and while we were promised a dry and fresh day, it hadn't ceased raining! Ray and I were sitting commenting on the recent tennis, waiting for the 6th telephone call of the day to arrive. Inevitably we had the phone call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had pulled into the Shell filling station in Little Harwood and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Peugeot rental car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was somewhat affected it seemed, stating "I cannot believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling my petrol car I completely didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I told her to calm down and not to be concerned, and also that things like this sadly often happen. She had managed to get the vehicle to a protected spot and, since it was just a few miles away from the office, we could reach the woman rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was extracted and she could return to the hotel she was residing in. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly wet, it was all rewarding to watch her drive home relaxed and less concerned. Another misfuel correction in Lancashire done well in my mind!

Our Services:

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

AdBlue Contamination

All over Lancashire we have seen more and more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part due to motorists not being aware of how to work with it (important: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right near to each other on the automobile.

Now, what exactly is the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Since the product is predominantly ionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Also, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

Contact us if it turns out you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and are able to correct every type of AdBlue contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a significant condition to handle in a motor vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Water in diesel or petrol is going to result in idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed properly, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both circumstances rather quickly.

Keep in mind however that so long as the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will probably be wholly wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we should be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel reservoir sitting in the back of your garden containing unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many private and commercial premises in Lancashire to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even a number of containers in a garage, if we can get to it, we could certainly empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Little Harwood (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a comprehensive Lancashire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to fill up the car in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at pump price) to fill up your vehicle. They will be able to take care of the standard issues which can accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.
