It was after seven pm on a Saturday and though we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't ceased raining! Brian and me were relaxing there talking over the recent tennis, at the ready for the 8th job of the day to arrive. Before long we received a call from a young lady on a company expedition who had gone to the BP petrol garage in Ashurst and filled petrol in a diesel MG rental by mistake. The poor lady was very affected by the sounds of it, stating "I still can't believe I have destroyed the car! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle I completely didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" I instructed her to relax and not to be concerned, plus that things like this can happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle to a protected space and, seeing as it was just a short distance off from us, we were able to arrive at the lady quickly. The bad fuel was removed and she could get back to the Travelodge she was residing in. Although we got pretty soaked, it was all worth it seeing her drive away satisfied and less worried. One more job in Lancashire done well in my books!

Our Areas of Expertise:

Listed here are the top services we offer to our customers.

AdBlue Contamination

All around Lancashire we have discovered an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to a degree due to people not knowing the right way to to make use of (note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right close to one another on the vehicle.

So, precisely what is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you put AdBlue in a fuel tank remove it at once. And absolutely do not crank the vehicle - not even to move it off of the pump. If you did start the car you will probably need to have the full fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious condition to handle in a car - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water inside your petrol or diesel will often bring about idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of properly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to handle both cases pretty expediently.

Take note however that whenever the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one will undoubtedly be completely wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to an automobile parking bay we will be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Have a fuel reservoir in the rear of your garden full of old, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several domestic and commercial premises in Lancashire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even numerous drums in a garage, if we can access it, we can certainly drain it.
