It was about 9 pm on a Thursday and while we were promised a rainless day, it hadn't given up on pouring! Mark and me were sitting commenting on the rugby results, ready for the 6th job to arrive. In due time we received a call from a woman on a company expedition who had gone to the Sainsburys filling station in Chorley and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Volvo rental by mistake. The poor lady was very affected by the sounds of it, stating "I still cannot believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol car I completely did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I told her to take it easy and not to fret, also that things like this do happen. She had managed to relocate the car to a safe area and, as it was no more than a few minutes off from us, we could find the customer rather quickly. The bad fuel was taken out and she could once again go back to the motel she was living in. Despite the fact we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worth the time seeing her drive off relaxed and much less apprehensive. One more job in Lancashire done well in my opinion!

Provided Services:

Here are the top services we deliver to our customers.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Lancashire we are noticing increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent due to people not being aware of how to use it (pay attention: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually right next to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what exactly is the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing as AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition to this, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

Give us a call if you are suffering from AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can take care of every type of AdBlue contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is generally a serious matter to deal with in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Putting water in fuel tank can certainly cause idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not remedied properly, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out than water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both circumstances quite expediently.

Remember however that as long as the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will be thoroughly wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to a car or truck parking spot we can gain access to the storage and drain out the fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank sitting at the rear of your garden containing unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few private and commercial properties in Lancashire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even a number of containers in an outbuilding, if we are able to reach it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Chorley (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a comprehensive Lancashire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to fill up the car in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump price) and refill the car. They can also fix any of the typical problems that might go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.
