It was just after 8 pm on a Monday and though we were promised a dry night, it hadn't stopped pouring! Brian and I were seated talking about the weekend's sports results, waiting for the next telephone call for the day to come in. Finally we got the phone call from a girl on a company expedition who had pulled into the Texaco petrol station in Sharoe Green and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Volvo rental by mistake. The unfortunate lady was pretty agitated by the sounds of it, telling me "I still cannot believe that I have ruined the vehicle! I am so used to filling up my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I instructed her to calm down and not to worry, plus that these things sadly often happen. She had managed to move the car to a secure spot and, seeing as it was only a few minutes off from our van, we could get to the lady swiftly. The bad fuel was extracted so she was able to go home to the Premier Inn she was staying in. Despite the fact we got extremely soaked, it was all rewarding seeing her drive away relaxed and much less anxious. One more job in Lancashire done well in my books!

We can help you with these mis-fuel problems.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Lancashire we are encountering an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination when an individual has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent as a result of people not understanding the way to to make use of (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly close to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it's just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Also, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you put AdBlue in your fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And certainly never start up the vehicle - not even to shift it to a parking area. Assuming you did start the car you may almost certainly have to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is in many cases an important matter to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel will bring about idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out properly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to drain as compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can solve both cases pretty swiftly.

Take note that so long as the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will likely be wholly wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or parked close to a car or truck parking spot we can reach the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel reservoir lying in the rear of your garden full of aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many private and commercial premises in Lancashire to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a number of drums in a storage shed, providing we can access it, we can drain it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Sharoe Green (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a comprehensive Lancashire Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to re-fill your automobile any time you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) to refill your automobile. They can also fix the normal problems which may go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or maybe flat batteries due to over-cranking.

He rang us to get a fuel drain and that's when he informed us: "I cannot believe that I did not detect that I put the incorrect fuel in my car." He said that he had got zero sleep the evening before and that must have been precisely why.
