It was just before 6 pm on a Saturday and although we were assured a dry night, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ray and I were resting there commenting on the weekend's tennis results, at the ready for the 6th job to arrive. Before long we got the call from a girl on a company trip who had gone to the Esso petrol garage in Burscough Bridge and filled petrol in her diesel SEAT hire car. She was pretty troubled by the sounds of it, stating "I cannot believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car I had didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" I just advised her to relax and not to worry, and that things like this unfortunately often happen. She managed to move the vehicle to a safe position and, seeing that it was only a few miles from the office, we could find the woman without delay. The contaminated fuel was removed and she could once again go back to the motel she was residing in. Even though we got thoroughly wet, it was all rewarding seeing her drive home calm and a lot less stressed. Yet another job in Lancashire done well in my mind!

Our Fields of Specialties: Services We Offer:

This is what we do best.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Lancashire we have noticed progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is mostly as a consequence of people being unsure of how to to make use of (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right close to one another on the automobile.

Well, precisely what is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And obviously take care not to switch on the engine - not even to move it to a parking bay. If you have started the car you will almost certainly need to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is without question a serious condition to address in a vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water in the petrol or diesel is likely to trigger idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with correctly, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain when compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can handle both situations very expediently.

Bear in mind that in the event that the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter to be installed as the old one will likely be totally water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked close to a car parking spot we should be able to reach the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have completed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container laying at the back of your garden with unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few domestic and commercial premises in Lancashire to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps numerous drums in a garage, assuming that we are able to access it, we are able to drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Burscough Bridge (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a full Lancashire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to re-fill your car in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at pump prices) and fill your car. They can also handle the usual problems which may come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe dead batteries due to over-cranking.
