It was around five pm on a Tuesday and even though we were promised a rainless day, it had not stopped raining! Dan and I were seated commenting on the footy, waiting around for the sixth call of the day to arrive. Eventually we got a call from a lovely women on a business excursion who had gone to the BP filling station in Intack and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Citroen hire car in error. The unfortunate lady was somewhat distressed apparently, saying "I can not believe that I have destroyed the car! I'm so used to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I had did not remember I was using a diesel!" I just instructed her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and also that such things unfortunately can happen. She was able to move the vehicle to a safe spot and, because it was just a short distance off from where we were, we were able to find the customer swiftly. The wrong fuel was extracted and she could once again go back to the hotel she was living at. Despite the fact that we got really wet, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive away satisfied and much less apprehensive. One more fuel drain in Lancashire done well in my books!

Here's a list of the incorrect fuel services we deliver.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Lancashire we have discovered a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly stemming from people not knowing how to use it (remember: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly near to each other on the automobile.

Well, precisely what is the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If you put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out at the earliest opportunity. And most definitely be careful not to crank the car - not even to shift it away from the pump. If you have started the car you will very likely have to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, can be an important situation to handle in an automobile - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your fuel tank can certainly produce idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not remedied correctly, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove when compared with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to handle both cases very swiftly.

Bear in mind however that any time the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to parking bay we will be able to access the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel container sitting in the rear of your premises full of aged, useless or degraded fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous privately owned and commercial properties in Lancashire to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even a few drums in an outbuilding, assuming that we are able to get to it, we can empty it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Intack (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a complete Lancashire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to fill up your automobile in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) to refill your vehicle. They will be able to fix any of the normal issues which might accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or maybe dead batteries due to over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Intack - Intack Fuel Rescue

A gentleman phoned us from his home on a close in Intack. He said, "My vehicle (a Nissan) is not starting up and is generating very bad noises when I turn the key." He admitted that he put unleaded in his diesel vehicle but then thought he would solve the issue by putting extra Diesel on top. We were on scene quickly, did the fuel drain and filled it up once more with clean Diesel. He told us he'd be certain to explain to people not to fill up on top of the wrong fuel but to get it drained right away.
