It was just after 10 pm on a Saturday and while we were promised a rainless evening, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ryan and I were resting there going over the tennis results, waiting around for the sixth fuel drain that day to arrive. Before long we received the phone call from a lady on a company expedition who had gone to the Esso petrol garage in Queenstown and put petrol in her diesel Citroen rental car by mistake. She was fairly distressed apparently, crying "I simply can't believe that I have destroyed the car! I am just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I completely did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" We asked her to take it easy and not to fret, plus that things like this often happen. She had managed to move the car to a safe spot and, seeing as it was just a few minutes off from our van, we could find the customer quickly. The incorrect fuel was removed so she could once again go back to the motel she was living in. Even though we got fairly wet, it was all rewarding to see her drive away calm and much less worried. A misfuel correction in Lancashire well done in my mind!

Services We Provide:

Here's a list of the incorrect fuel services we deliver.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Lancashire we have encountered an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly thanks to motorists not being aware of the right way to to make use of (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly close to one another on the automobile.

Now, what is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing as the product is predominantly deionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Phone us if you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to fix every type of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, is generally a serious matter to address in a vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel is going to trigger idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out correctly, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both situations rather simply.

Bear in mind however that so long as the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will probably be completely wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to a car parking bay we can gain access to the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel reservoir lying at the rear of your garden full of out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous privately owned and commercial properties in Lancashire to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a few containers in a garage, as long as we are able to get to it, we are able to empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Queenstown (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a comprehensive Lancashire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to refill your car any time you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at pump prices) to refill your automobile. They will be able to fix any of the normal troubles which might come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or even flat batteries due to over-cranking.
