It was about 7 pm on a Wednesday and though we were promised a dry day, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Paul and me were resting there talking over the football results, waiting for the 6th job that day to arrive. Eventually we had a phone call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had gone to the Texaco filling garage in Halsall and filled petrol in her diesel Hyundai rental in error. The unfortunate lady was quite agitated it seemed, telling me "I still cannot believe I have messed up the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car I had didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" We instructed her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and also that such things unfortunately can happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle into a secure spot and, seeing that it was just a few minutes away from us, we were able to reach the lady right away. The incorrect fuel was drained so she could return to the hotel she was lodging at. Despite the fact we got very wet, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive off relaxed and a lot less stressed.

Listed here are our top services we deliver to our customers.

AdBlue Contamination

All around Lancashire we have encountered more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a person has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to some extent due to people not being aware of the right way to to make use of (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly close to each other on the car.

So, what exactly is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Since the product is predominantly deionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Also, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

In case you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained as soon as possible. And certainly be careful not to turn over the motor - not even to move it to a parking spot. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you may most likely need to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious condition to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water in diesel or petrol is going to produce idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed correctly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove as compared to water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to handle both circumstances pretty swiftly.

Bear in mind however that so long as the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will probably be thoroughly wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to a vehicle parking bay we should be able to access the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

We have been called out to several privately owned and business properties in Lancashire for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a number of containers in a storage shed, providing we can get to it, we can certainly empty it for you.
