It was close to 5 pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were promised a rainless day, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Paul and me were relaxing there talking over the recent sports, waiting around for the 6th job of the day to arrive. In due time we had a call from a lovely women on a business expedition who had arrived at the Esso petrol station in Upper Thurnham and filled petrol in a diesel BMW rental car in error. She was pretty distressed by the sounds of it, stating "I simply cannot believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" I just asked her to settle back and not to worry, plus that these things sadly do happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle into a protected space and, since it was only a few minutes from our van, we could find the lady fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was drained and she was able to go home to the motel she was living at.

Our Fields of Specialties: Services We Offer:

We are willing to take the wrong fuel job.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Lancashire we have found a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination where a person has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mostly as a result of drivers being unsure of the right way to use it (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly next to one another on the automobile.

Well, what's the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Since the product is primarily deionised water, it is actually just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Furthermore, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

Give us a call in the event that you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and are able to handle every type of AdBlue contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is actually a serious situation to deal with in an automobile - especially in current day common-rail engines. Having water inside your petrol or diesel will bring about idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with effectively, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove when compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to resolve both situations very easily.

Keep in mind that so long as the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we can access the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel reservoir lying at the rear of your garden full of unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous private and business premises in Lancashire to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a number of drums in a storage shed, if we are able to reach it, we could certainly empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Upper Thurnham (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a full Lancashire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to re-fill your automobile in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) and fill your automobile. They will be able to fix the typical problems which may accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.
