It was just before eight pm on a Wednesday and although we were assured a rainless day, it hadn't ceased raining! James and I were seated there commenting on the rugby rankings, at the ready for the seventh job for the day to come in. Finally we got a call from a girl on a business trip who had gone to the Texaco filling garage in Helmshore and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Audi hire car in error. She was fairly troubled by the sounds of it, telling me "I still cannot believe I've destroyed the car! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol car I had did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I just asked her to relax and not to worry, and that such things can happen. She had managed to move the car to a safe position and, seeing that it was no more than a short distance off from us, we were able to arrive at the woman fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was taken out and she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was staying at. Despite the fact we got pretty drenched, it was all worth it to watch her drive off satisfied and less concerned. One more misfuel correction in Lancashire done well in my mind!

Services We Offer:

Below are the top services we deliver to our clients.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Lancashire we are noticing increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is in part due to drivers not understanding the right way to to make use of (note: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly close to one another on the automobile.

Well, precisely what is the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

In case you put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And obviously don't start the motor - not even to relocate it into a parking spot. In case you did start the vehicle you would in all likelihood have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant situation to take care of in a motor vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel may bring about idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not sorted out properly, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both cases pretty easily.

Keep in mind though that as long as the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one is going to be completely wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to an automobile parking spot we will be able to reach the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We have succesfully done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container at the back of your garden containing unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several private and industrial properties in Lancashire to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even some containers in an outbuilding, provided that we can reach it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Helmshore (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a full Lancashire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to re-fill your vehicle in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at pump prices) and fill up your car. They are also able to deal with the typical troubles which may accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Helmshore - Helmshore Fuel Drain

A man had conked out off a street in Helmshore. His Mitsubishi engine had ceased running and he'd no clue what was faulty until eventually he noticed he put unleaded in his diesel vehicle. He rang us to request a fuel drain and that's when he said to us: "I can't believe that I did not know that I put the incorrect fuel in my vehicle." He stated that he had gotten absolutely no sleep the night before and that must have been the reason.
