Our Fields of Specialties: Services We Provide:

Here is a list of the incorrect fuel services we provide.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Lancashire we are finding increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent a result of motorists not being totally sure the right way to use it (take note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right adjacent to one another on the car.

Now, what is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Since AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Apart from this, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

Assuming you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And absolutely never crank the motor - not even to relocate it into a parking area. If perhaps you have started the car you will in all likelihood have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is without question a serious matter to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel can potentially cause idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not dealt with correctly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain when compared with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both circumstances fairly swiftly.

Take note that as long as the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or situated close to a vehicle parking bay we can gain access to the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir at the rear of the garden containing aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few private and commercial properties in Lancashire to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a few drums in a shed, provided that we can get to it, we can certainly drain it.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Banks (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a comprehensive Lancashire Out of Fuel Service. We will come to re-fill your car if you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at cost) to fill up your car. They will deal with any of the normal issues that may accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, and even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

It truly was the graveyard shift. It was around dawn and noone was about. It had been pretty quiet until now, and me and John were sitting about reading through several old papers. It was an uncommon restful moment in Lancashire. Actually it was indeed that tranquil that when the telephone rang I jumped! The voice said: "I have only just completed my overnight shift and foolishly poured the wrong fuel in the Lexus by mistake". I asked him to inform us just where he was and we hit the road, reaching him in Banks no more than an hour later. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed from the vehicle. He said thanks a lot for showing up so promptly. While we were heading back to base we saw two girls on the edge of the road who seemed to have a flat tyre. As a result we pulled over and helped them change it, to their delight.

Fuel Rescue Banks - Banks Wrong Fuel

A customer contacted us from his residence on a close in Banks. He pronounced, "My vehicle (a Citroen) is not starting and is making awful noises when I flip the ignition." He confessed that he put petrol in his diesel vehicle however believed he would resolve the issue by putting further Diesel on top. We got there promptly, carried out the drain and filled him up once more with clean Diesel. He told us that he would be sure to advise people not to fill up on top of the incorrect fuel but to have it cleaned out right away.
