It was around 9 pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry day, it hadn't given up on raining! Dan and I were sitting talking over the tennis results, prepared for the 6th call to come in. In due time we had a call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had pulled into the BP filling garage in Sherfin and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Toyota rental car in error. The unfortunate thing was pretty affected it seemed, telling me "I can't believe that I have messed up the car! I am just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle I completely didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I told her to take it easy and not to fret, plus that these things unfortunately can happen. She had managed to move the car to a secure space and, as it was only a short distance away from our van, we could find the customer right away. The incorrect fuel was extracted and she was able to once again go back to the motel she was staying in. Although we got pretty soaked, it was all rewarding seeing her drive away calm and not so apprehensive. Another fuel drain in Lancashire done well in my opinion!

We are willing to take the wrong fuel work.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Lancashire we have seen progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination where somebody has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is partly as a consequence of drivers not being aware of how to to make use of (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually right next to one another on the car.

So, what's the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing that the product is mainly deionised water, it's almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Additionally, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

In the case you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained immediately. And of course be careful not to start up the car - not even to maneuver it off the pump. In case you did start the vehicle you will likely have to have the full fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is definitely a serious issue to address in an automobile - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Water in your fuel tank will likely contribute to idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed effectively, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove than water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both circumstances quite simply.

Take note though that whenever the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the old one will probably be wholly water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. So long as the boat is either on land, or moored close to a motor vehicle parking bay we will be able to access the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel reservoir in the rear of your premises containing out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many private and industrial properties in Lancashire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even some containers in a shed, providing we can access it, we can empty it.

Wrong Fuel Assist Sherfin - Sherfin Wrong Fuel in Car

A gentleman had broken down near a street in Sherfin. His Renault car had ceased functioning and he had no idea what was wrong right up until he realised he had put unleaded in his diesel vehicle. He phoned us to get a fuel drain and that's when he said to us: "I cannot believe that I didn't detect that I had put the incorrect fuel in my vehicle." He said that he had gotten very little rest the evening before and that must have been why.
