Wrong Fuel in Car Kirkham - Kirkham Vehicle Misfuel

A rather concerned driver phoned us from the Shell filling station at Lancashire to inform us that he put unleaded into his diesel Hyundai; he wasn't really certain how he'd done it. We explained to him it was not a worry and before long had our fuel drainer with him to drain the incorrect fuel from his tank. Having purged the contaminated fuel, he was soon back driving. He told us; "I can't believe I filled my car with the wrong fuel. And the technician who came out to carry out the fuel drain was very nice - he didn't make me look and feel like a plonker."

Our Areas of Competence :

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

AdBlue In Diesel

In Lancashire we have noticed progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination when someone has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is in part a result of people not being aware of the right way to work with it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly near to each other on the automobile.

Now, exactly what is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel car? As AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it immediately. And certainly never crank the engine - not even to shift it into a parking place. Assuming you did start the car you will almost certainly need to have the full fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be an important issue to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water in the petrol or diesel is going to contribute to idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not remedied fully, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain in comparison with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to resolve both circumstances quite simply.

Take note though that if ever the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will likely be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to a car parking bay we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've succesfully done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel reservoir placed at the rear of the garden with old, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and industrial premises in Lancashire to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even numerous drums in a shed, providing we can reach it, we are able to empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Kirkham (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a comprehensive Lancashire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to re-fill your vehicle if you are stranded on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) and fill up your car. They can also handle the typical problems which can come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to start, as well as flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Common incorrect fuel drain stories in Kirkham:

We completed a wrong fuel retrieval exercise outside a beautiful house in Kirkham a few weeks ago. "I had put unleaded in my diesel car and managed to nearly arrive at home when my car stopped." Our specialist went out, despite the fact that it was quite late at night, and performed a standard fuel drain and purge on the Land Rover to everyone's satisfaction.

Wrong Fuel in Car Kirkham - Kirkham Vehicle Misfuel

A young lady employed in Kirkham contacted us after she managed to get her misfueled car to her office. She had put the wrong fuel in her diesel Volkswagen and, like many before her, thought that she could basically fill up the car with diesel and it would be okay. The vehicle was spluttering and then it died when she got to the the front of her work. We soon started on the fuel drain after she called and got it fixed in an hour whilst she was in the office. She came outside afterwards and thanked us saying, "I'm very glad you sorted my car."

Wrong Fuel Kirkham - Kirkham Wrong Fuel Drain

I had appreciated a fantastic afternoon cycling during my afternoon off and was feeling delighted with myself the following day as I set off to aid a new couple who were away in Kirkham. They pulled over after inserting diesel into their Chevrolet, and the car was around half an hour's drive away. I showed up at their location and smiled to myself as I listened to the woman telling her man off for being so silly. "Just how could you actually be able to fill the car up using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I attempted to explain that this goes on continuously in Lancashire and that it is nothing to fret about, nonetheless he in spite of everything had his ear bent. Unfortunate lad. In any case, I removed all of the polluted fuel, flushed the motor and gave it some right fuel. Watching while they drove off I shouted hasta la vista and pondered on what my wife would ask me if ever I made the very same blunder... I'd personally never hear the end of it!
