It was just before 7 pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry day, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Paul and me were resting there talking over the weekend's footy results, ready for the next telephone call that day to come in. In due time we received a phone call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had arrived at the Shell petrol station in Scale Hall and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Chevrolet lease car by mistake. She was rather irritated apparently, crying "I just can't believe I have destroyed the car! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I had didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I just instructed her to settle back and not to worry, and that these things often happen. She had managed to get the vehicle into a safe position and, as it was only a few miles off from the office, we were able to arrive at her rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was extracted so she was able to get back to the motel she was residing at. Despite the fact that we got really soaked, it was all worthwhile to see her drive away satisfied and much less apprehensive. A fuel drain in Lancashire done well in my mind!

This is exactly what we do best.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Lancashire we are noticing progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination when somebody has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to some extent stemming from people not being aware of the right way to to make use of (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly next to each other on the vehicle.

So, what is the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Since AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Apart from this, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

Give us a call if you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can correct all types of AdBlue contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant matter to handle in an automobile - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank will likely cause idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied correctly, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can handle both cases pretty swiftly.

Keep in mind however that if the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the old one will probably be totally water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or parked close to a car or truck parking bay we are able to gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We have done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got an old fuel container in the back of the garden with unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of domestic and commercial properties in Lancashire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps a few containers in a shed, as long as we can reach it, we could certainly drain it.

We will get out to re-fill the car any time you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at your home.

They are also able to handle the typical problems which can come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, and even dead batteries caused by over-cranking.
