It was close to 5 pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't ceased raining! Mark and I were relaxing there talking over the weekend's footy rankings, at the ready for the 8th fuel drain to come in. Eventually we got a phone call from a lady on a business trip who had gone to the Esso filling station in Cantsfield and filled petrol in her diesel Ford lease car. The unfortunate thing was pretty distressed by the sounds of it, crying "I just can't believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car that I totally didn't remember I was using a diesel!" We advised her to settle back and not to fret, and that these things unfortunately can happen. She had managed to move the car to a protected position and, seeing that it was only a short distance from our van, we could find the customer fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was drained and she could go home to the Premier Inn she was residing in. Although we got extremely soaked, it was all worth it to watch her drive off contented and not so worried. Yet another fuel drain in Lancashire done well in my opinion!

Our Areas of Expertise :

Helping you get back on the road is our primary goal.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Lancashire we are encountering more and more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mostly as a result of motorists being unsure of the way to work with it (note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly next to one another on the vehicle.

So, what's the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Since the product is predominantly ionised water, it is as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

In case you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank remove it as quickly as possible. And definitely take care not to turn over the engine - not even to maneuver it into a parking area. In the event that you have started the car you would most likely have to have the whole fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is without question an important issue to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel tank will often bring about idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out correctly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both cases rather swiftly.

Take note that if ever the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed as the old one will be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. So long as the boat is either on land, or moored close to an automobile parking spot we can access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've succesfully done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank placed at the back of the garden with unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few private and business premises in Lancashire to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a number of drums in a storage shed, assuming that we can reach it, we can empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Cantsfield (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a full Lancashire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to refill your vehicle if you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at pump price) to fill up your car or truck. They are also able to handle any of the standard problems which can come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, as well as dead batteries due to over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Cantsfield - Cantsfield Wrong Fuel

A couple weeks ago a young man telephoned us soon after his MG died in the middle of a road in Cantsfield. He had mistakenly put petrol in the diesel car and got so far as the street before being forced to pull up. It was actually early in the morning and our engineer, who stays close by, was with him in less than 15 minutes. We were able to drain the incorrect fuel and put clean diesel once again in to the car. "Many thanks to you for your prompt response, particularly at 2 a.m., I genuinely appreciate it."
