It was just after seven pm on a Thursday and while we were promised a dry and fresh day, it hadn't stopped raining! Ray and I were relaxing discussing the weekend's rugby, waiting around for the 6th call to arrive. In due time we had a phone call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had arrived at the Texaco filling garage in Brookhouse and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Audi rental car by mistake. She was somewhat troubled it seemed, crying "I simply cannot believe I've ruined the vehicle! I'm so used to filling up my petrol car I had forgot I was running a diesel!" I instructed her to settle back and not to worry, and that these things happen. She had managed to get the car into a safe spot and, since it was no more than a short distance away from where we were, we were able to arrive at the woman rather quickly. The bad fuel was taken out and she could once again go back to the motel she was living in. Although we got pretty wet, it was all worth the time to see her drive away satisfied and not so stressed. A fuel drain in Lancashire done well in my books!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Lancashire we have seen increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination where a driver has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent stemming from motorists not being totally sure the way to work with it (note: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly close to each other on the automobile.

Well, what's the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? As AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Also, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

Contact us in the event that you are going through AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and have the ability to fix all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious issue to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water in the petrol or diesel will likely bring about idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed effectively, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to drain in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to take care of both situations fairly expediently.

Keep in mind however that so long as the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed since the old one will likely be wholly wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Providing the boat is either on land, or parked close to a motor vehicle parking spot we will be able to reach the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have succesfully done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel tank in the rear of your garden full of old, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of private and business properties in Lancashire to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a few drums in a shed, if we can get to it, we can drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Brookhouse (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a complete Lancashire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will help to fill up the car any time you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump price) and fill the car. They will be able to fix the usual troubles that could go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, and even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue Brookhouse - Brookhouse Fuel Drain

I had a wonderful day cycling on my day off and was feeling cheerful with myself the following working day as I was on the way to aid a young couple on vacation in Brookhouse. They had broken down after inserting petrol in their Dacia, and they were approximately half an hour's travel away. I arrived at their position and smiled to myself while I heard to the girl telling her partner off for being so stupid. "Just how could you conceivably be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she said to him. I wanted to tell her that this takes place on a regular basis in Lancashire and that it is absolutely nothing to stress about, but he in spite of everything had his ear bent. Unlucky guy. Anyways, I extracted all of the polluted fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave them some appropriate fuel. While watching them drive off I mouthed good-bye and thought about what her indoors would ask me if I did the exact same thing... I'd never hear the end of it!
