It was before 7 pm on a Wednesday and though we were assured a dry night, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Mark and I were relaxing going over the weekend's rugby rankings, at the ready for the 8th job for the day to arrive. Finally we had a call from a woman on a company excursion who had pulled into the Esso filling garage in Grimshaw Green and put the wrong fuel in a diesel SEAT rental in error. The poor lady was very troubled it seemed, saying "I simply can't believe that I have ruined the car! I'm so familiar with filling up my petrol car I completely did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" We advised her to take it easy and not to fret, plus that these things regrettably do happen. She was able to get the car into a secure area and, as it was no more than a few minutes from us, we could reach the lady right away. The wrong fuel was extracted so she was able to once again go back to the motel she was residing at. Despite the fact that we got really drenched, it was all worth the time to watch her drive home calm and less worried. One more job in Lancashire well done in my books!

Our Areas of Experience :

Below are our top services we give to our clients.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Lancashire we have found more and more cases of AdBlue contamination when an individual has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to a degree caused by motorists not understanding the way to to make use of (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right close to each other on the automobile.

Now, exactly what is the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel car? As the product is mainly deionised water, it's as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water will not mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Moreover, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

Contact us if you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can fix all types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious matter to deal with in a vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel tank may well cause idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not remedied fully, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to take care of both situations fairly simply.

You should know though that in the event that the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one will likely be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to a car or truck parking bay we should be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel reservoir laying in the back of the garden containing aged, useless or degraded fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many privately owned and business premises in Lancashire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a number of drums in an outbuilding, providing we can access it, we are able to drain it.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Grimshaw Green (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a complete Lancashire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to fill up your car in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at pump prices) and fill up your vehicle. They will take care of the standard problems which could accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.
