It was just before ten pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a rainless day, it had not given up on raining! James and I were seated there talking about the weekend's footy, waiting for the 6th telephone call of the day to arrive. In due time we had the call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had gone to the BP petrol garage in Lytham St Annes and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Dacia rental car in error. The poor thing was rather troubled apparently, telling me "I simply can't believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember I was running a diesel!" I just advised her to calm down and not to fret, and that things like this regrettably often happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle to a protected space and, because it was just a few minutes away from our van, we were able to reach the lady almost instantly. The wrong fuel was taken out so she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was lodging in. Although we got pretty soaked, it was all worth the time seeing her drive home calm and much less worried. Yet another job in Lancashire done well in my mind!

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Lancashire we are noticing more and more instances of AdBlue contamination when somebody has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially caused by drivers being unsure of how to to make use of (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly near to each other on the automobile.

Well, what's the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? As the product is mainly ionised water, it's like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Also, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

Assuming you put AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it right away. And obviously be careful not to start up the engine - not even to shift it into a parking place. If you have started the vehicle you may in all likelihood have to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely an important issue to take care of in a vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Water in your diesel or petrol may well result in idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not remedied effectively, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain when compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can solve both circumstances quite quickly.

You should know though that as long as the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. As long as the boat is either on land, or secured near to a motor vehicle parking bay we can access the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've completed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir lying in the rear of your premises with old, useless or degraded fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous private and commercial premises in Lancashire to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or even some containers in a shed, as long as we can get to it, we are able to drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Lytham St Annes (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a comprehensive Lancashire Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to refill your car in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at pump prices) to fill up the car. They can also handle any of the standard troubles that can accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.
