Services We Deliver:

Below are our top services we offer to our clients.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Lancashire we are finding a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly due to people not being aware of the way to use it (please note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly near to each other on the automobile.

So, exactly what is the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Since the product is mostly ionised water, it's just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Moreover, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

In the event that you end up in this predicament do not fret or panic! Contact us, the UK?s Number 1 fuel contamination company. Our engineers possess the technical skills and working experience to get you back on your way quickly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious issue to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Putting water in the diesel or petrol will trigger idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied effectively, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain than water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to solve both circumstances pretty expediently.

Remember that any time the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or moored close to a vehicle parking bay we are able to gain access to the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir placed at the rear of your garden containing aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many domestic and industrial premises in Lancashire for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a number of drums in a shed, providing we can reach it, we could certainly empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Wrightington Bar (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a comprehensive Lancashire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to re-fill your vehicle if you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at pump price) and fill up your car or truck. They will take care of the usual troubles that can come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or even dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.

A customer had stopped just near a street in Wrightington Bar. His Mercedes motor had stopped working and he had no idea what was faulty till he noticed he had put petrol in his diesel car. He rang us to get a fuel drain and that's when he told us: "I cannot believe that I didn't comprehend that I had put the incorrect fuel in my car." He stated that he had gotten zero rest the night before and that must have been the reason.
