Our Services:

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

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Lancashire we have identified increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent as a consequence of motorists not being aware of the right way to to make use of (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right next to one another on the car.

Now, precisely what is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing as the product is primarily ionised water, it's like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Moreover, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

In case you put AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And definitely never turn over the engine - not even to maneuver it into a parking area. Assuming you did start the vehicle you will almost certainly need to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, can be a serious matter to handle in a vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Water in your petrol or diesel may lead to idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not sorted out properly, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain in comparison with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can handle both cases rather easily.

Remember that any time the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to a car or truck parking spot we will be able to gain access to the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir sitting at the back of your premises with unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several private and industrial premises in Lancashire to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps some drums in an outbuilding, if we can get to it, we can empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Old Langho (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a complete Lancashire Out of Fuel Service. We will help to fill up your vehicle in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) and fill up your automobile. They will be able to take care of any of the most common issues that can go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or even flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Old Langho - Old Langho Vehicle Misfuel

I had a wonderful evening fishing on the weekend and felt cheerful the next day as I was on the way to assist a new couple who were holidaying in Old Langho. They stopped after adding diesel in their Skoda, and the car was approximately an hour's drive away. I turned up at their car and laughed to myself while I heard to the lady telling off her husband for being so silly. "Just how could you possibly find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she told him. I tried to explain that this occurs on a regular basis in Lancashire and that it is nothing at all to be concerned about, however he all the same got his ear bent by his wife. I felt sorry for the chap. In any case, I extracted the wrong fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled them up with the proper fuel. Watching as they drove away I waved hasta la vista and pondered on what my wife would do to me if perhaps I made the very same blunder... I would personally under no circumstances hear the end of it!
