It was after 5 pm on a Wednesday and even though we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Mark and I were relaxing talking over the weekend's sports results, waiting around for the seventh job of the day to arrive. In due time we got a phone call from a young lady on a business expedition who had gone to the Sainsburys filling garage in Hoghton Bottoms and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Peugeot rental car. The unfortunate lady was pretty agitated it seemed, saying "I simply can't believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot I was using a diesel!" I just instructed her to calm down and not to be concerned, and that these things sadly do happen. She had managed to move the car to a protected area and, because it was no more than a short distance off from the office, we were able to arrive at the customer fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was removed so she was able to go home to the hotel she was lodging in. Even though we got extremely soaked, it was all worthwhile to see her drive off calm and a lot less worried. A misfuel correction in Lancashire done well in my books!

Our Areas of Specialties:

This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Lancashire we are identifying progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when somebody has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent stemming from motorists not being aware of the right way to use it (note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly close to each other on the car.

Well, what's the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? As AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

Contact us if you are suffering from AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will handle every type of AdBlue contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant situation to deal with in an automobile - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your diesel or petrol can easily result in idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed effectively, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we can handle both cases very expediently.

Be aware however that in the event that the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one will likely be completely wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to a vehicle parking bay we will be able to reach the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have completed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container at the rear of your premises containing old, useless or degraded fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous privately owned and business properties in Lancashire to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps a number of containers in a garage, providing we are able to access it, we can empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Hoghton Bottoms (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a comprehensive Lancashire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to re-fill your vehicle in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at pump price) to fill up your car or truck. They will be able to fix any of the standard problems which may go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue Hoghton Bottoms - Hoghton Bottoms Fuel Rescue

A gentleman called us from Hoghton Bottoms saying he piped unleaded in his diesel Mazda. "Shocking! How could I put petrol in my diesel car!" It took our fuel drainer roughly fifty minutes to fully drain the contaminated fuel from the vehicle. He totally flushed the fuel lines, filter and pumps and after that put fresh diesel in the car. The customer was delighted and it hadn't cost him car dealership rates to have the work properly done.
