These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue Contamination

All over Lancashire we are discovering a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination when a driver has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially a result of people not understanding how to work with it (please note: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right close to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what's the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing that AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank remove it as quickly as possible. And definitely do not turn over the motor - not even to shift it off the pump. Assuming you did start the car you would in all probability need to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important issue to handle in a car - especially in modern common-rail engines. Having water in the petrol or diesel may well cause idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed properly, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can handle both circumstances pretty easily.

Remember however that if ever the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will likely be completely water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we are able to reach the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have carried out numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank sitting at the rear of the garden full of out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of private and industrial premises in Lancashire for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps some containers in a garage, provided that we are able to access it, we can empty it for you.

Out of fuel in Thorpe Green (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a comprehensive Lancashire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can come to refill your vehicle in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at your home.

They are also able to fix the normal problems which can go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe dead batteries caused by over-cranking.
