It was just before ten pm on a Friday and though we were promised a dry day, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Paul and I were relaxing commenting on the weekend's footy rankings, ready for the seventh fuel drain of the day to come in. In due time we received the call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had arrived at the Shell petrol garage in Ambleside and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel SEAT rental car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was rather distressed it seemed, saying "I can't believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I am so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car that I totally forgot I was using a diesel!" I just advised her to take it easy and not to worry, and also that these things can happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle to a protected space and, as it was only a few miles from our van, we were able to reach the customer without delay. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could once again go back to the Travelodge she was staying in. Even though we got very wet, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive off contented and much less stressed. One more misfuel correction in Cumbria done well in my books!

Our Areas of Specialties:

This is what we do best.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Cumbria we are noticing increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent a result of drivers not being aware of how to use it (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and partly because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right near to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what exactly is the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Because AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Also, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

Phone us if it turns out you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to correct all types of AdBlue contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant condition to handle in a vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel may trigger idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with fully, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can solve both situations quite easily.

Bear in mind that if the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one will be totally water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we can access the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We've undertaken numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir laying in the rear of your garden containing out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous private and industrial premises in Cumbria to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or even numerous containers in a storage shed, provided that we can access it, we can drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Ambleside (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a comprehensive Cumbria Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to fill up your vehicle in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at cost) and fill your car. They will deal with any of the most common problems that may go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.
