It was around 9 pm on a Friday and even though we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it had not stopped pouring! James and me were seated going over the weekend's footy, waiting around for the 8th fuel drain for the day to come in. In due time we received a call from a lady on a business expedition who had arrived at the Tesco filling station in Higher Audley and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Citroen hire car by mistake. She was quite affected by the sounds of it, telling me "I just can't believe I've wrecked the car! I'm so used to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" We instructed her to relax and not to worry, also that these things sadly happen. She managed to move the car to a safe space and, seeing as it was just a few minutes away from where we were, we could arrive at her fairly quickly. The bad fuel was taken out and she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was living at.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Lancashire we are finding progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent as a consequence of drivers not being totally sure how to use it (please note: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly near to one another on the vehicle.

So, what exactly is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing as AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Furthermore, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

Give us a call if you are struggling with AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and have the ability to fix all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious situation to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your fuel tank can bring about idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with fully, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both cases pretty swiftly.

Remember however that so long as the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to a motor vehicle parking spot we will be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel container lying at the back of your garden full of out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and commercial properties in Lancashire for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a few containers in an outbuilding, providing we are able to get to it, we can certainly empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Higher Audley (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a full Lancashire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can come to fill up the car in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump price) and refill your automobile. They will fix the standard issues that could go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or maybe flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.
