It was about five pm on a Tuesday and even though we were assured a dry day, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Dan and I were relaxing talking about the football, prepared for the sixth fuel drain to arrive. Finally we had the phone call from a woman on a business expedition who had pulled into the Tesco filling station in Feniscliffe and filled petrol in her diesel MINI rental in error. The unfortunate lady was rather affected by the sounds of it, crying "I cannot believe I have destroyed the car! I'm so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car I totally did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I instructed her to calm down and not to be concerned, and also that such things sadly can happen. She was able to get the car to a protected space and, seeing that it was only a short distance from us, we could find the lady rather quickly.

Services We Provide:

Below are the top services we give to our customers.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Lancashire we are noticing an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination when somebody has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to some extent due to motorists not understanding how to use it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right adjacent to each other on the automobile.

So, what's the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? As the product is mostly ionised water, it's as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Furthermore, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

Assuming you put AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it right away. And most definitely take care not to turn over the motor - not even to move it away from the pump. Assuming you have started the vehicle you would almost certainly have to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded or diesel, can be an important condition to take care of in a motor vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Water in fuel will cause idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with effectively, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove when compared with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to take care of both circumstances very quickly.

Remember however that whenever the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to a car or truck parking spot we can gain access to the storage and drain out the fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel reservoir sitting in the back of the garden with old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several domestic and industrial properties in Lancashire to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a few drums in a garage, provided that we are able to reach it, we are able to drain it.

Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Feniscliffe (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a complete Lancashire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to re-fill the car in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at pump price) and refill your car. They will be able to take care of any of the normal problems which could accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or maybe dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.
