It was after six pm on a Wednesday and while we were assured a dry day, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Mark and I were seated talking over the recent tennis, at the ready for the 8th fuel drain that day to come in. In due time we received the phone call from a young lady on a company trip who had pulled into the Tesco filling garage in Tanhouse and put petrol in her diesel Ford rental by mistake. She was quite distressed it seemed, saying "I simply can't believe that I've ruined the car! I am so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car I had did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I instructed her to settle back and not to fret, and that things like this regrettably happen. She managed to relocate the car into a safe space and, seeing that it was no more than a few minutes from us, we were able to find the lady right away. The bad fuel was taken out and she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was lodging in.

Our Areas of Experience :

This is what we do best.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Lancashire we have encountered progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent stemming from motorists being unsure of the way to work with it (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally right near to each other on the vehicle.

Now, exactly what is the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

In case you find yourself in this scenario don?t fret or panic! Contact us, the UK?s Number one fuel contamination service. Our engineers have the technical competence and experience to get you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is certainly an important situation to handle in an automobile - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel may trigger idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed effectively, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can deal with both circumstances fairly quickly.

Keep in mind however that so long as the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter to be installed as the old one will be totally wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to parking bay we are able to access the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

A customer had stopped off a street in Tanhouse. His SEAT engine had ceased functioning and he had no idea what was the problem until he noticed he put unleaded in his diesel vehicle. He rang us to request a fuel drain and that's when he explained to us: "I can not believe that I did not detect that I had put the incorrect fuel in my vehicle." He stated that he had got absolutely no sleep the night before and that could have been precisely why.
