It was about five pm on a Tuesday and while we were promised a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Ryan and me were sitting there commenting on the recent sports, waiting for the sixth fuel drain that day to come in. Before long we got a phone call from a young lady on a company expedition who had arrived at the Texaco petrol garage in Sedbergh and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Fiat hire car by mistake. She was pretty affected it seemed, crying "I still can't believe that I have ruined the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I completely forgot that I was operating a diesel!" We instructed her to settle back and not to fret, and also that such things can happen. She was able to get the vehicle to a protected space and, since it was only a few miles from the office, we were able to get to her right away. The contaminated fuel was extracted so she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was lodging at. Although we got pretty drenched, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive home calm and not so anxious. One more misfuel correction in Cumbria well done in my opinion!

Here's a list of the wrong fuel services we give.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Cumbria we have seen a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree a result of drivers being unsure of the right way to use it (pay attention: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right adjacent to each other on the car.

So, what exactly is the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it's like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Furthermore, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

In the event that you put AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it as quickly as possible. And certainly do not crank the vehicle - not even to shift it off of the pump. In cases where you have started the vehicle you may likely have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant condition to take care of in an automobile - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Water inside your diesel or petrol may well contribute to idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed effectively, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can deal with both cases pretty expediently.

Remember however that any time the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will likely be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to parking bay we are able to access the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got an old fuel container lying in the back of the garden containing out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many private and business premises in Cumbria for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or even several containers in a shed, as long as we can reach it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Sedbergh (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a comprehensive Cumbria Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to fill up your car in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at cost) to refill your car or truck. They can also deal with any of the most common problems that might come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Sedbergh - Sedbergh Fuel Rescue

A gentleman had broken down near a street in Sedbergh. His Mazda car had ceased functioning and he'd no idea what was faulty until eventually he realised he put petrol in his diesel vehicle. He rang us to request a fuel drain and that is when he told us: "I can not believe that I did not realise that I put the wrong fuel in my car." He claimed that he had gotten virtually no rest the day before and that must have been the reason why.
