We're just a phone call away.

It was after 9 pm on a Wednesday and while we were promised a dry day, it hadn't stopped raining! Ryan and me were resting commenting on the recent sports, prepared for the seventh call that day to come in. In due time we got a phone call from a lovely women on a business expedition who had arrived at the Tesco petrol station in Accrington and put petrol in her diesel Toyota lease car by mistake. She was somewhat troubled it seemed, crying "I still can't believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I'm so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car I totally didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I advised her to relax and not to fret, and that things like this sadly happen. She managed to maneuver the car to a secure space and, seeing as it was no more than a few miles away from our van, we could get to the lady rather quickly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could go home to the hotel she was lodging in. Despite the fact we got fairly wet, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive home calm and not so apprehensive. A job in Lancashire well done in my mind!

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Lancashire we have found a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination when someone has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to a degree thanks to motorists not being totally sure the right way to use it (note: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right next to each other on the vehicle.

So, precisely what is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? As AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Apart from this, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

If you discover youself to be in this position don?t fret or panic! Contact us, the UK?s Number one fuel contamination business. Our experts have got the specialised expertise and working experience to have you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded or diesel, can be a serious condition to take care of in a motor vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel can lead to idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out effectively, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out as compared with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both cases pretty swiftly.

Take note however that if the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be installed because the previous one is going to be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or parked near to parking spot we should be able to gain access to the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

We have been called out to quite a few domestic and commercial premises in Lancashire to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps numerous drums in an outbuilding, as long as we can access it, we could certainly empty it for you.
