Inevitably we received a call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had gone to the BP petrol garage in Hollin Hall and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Vauxhall hire car by mistake.

Services We Offer:

Here is a list of the incorrect fuel services we offer.

AdBlue Contamination

All around Lancashire we have noticed more and more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is in part as a consequence of drivers not being totally sure the way to work with it (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly near to each other on the car.

Now, precisely what is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing that the product is mainly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Furthermore, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

Assuming you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And of course be careful not to crank the engine - not even to shift it off the pump. Assuming you did start the vehicle you will almost certainly need to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's petrol or diesel, is without question an important condition to address in a car - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel may well produce idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out effectively, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out than water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can solve both circumstances pretty quickly.

You should know however that in the event that the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will probably be thoroughly wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. As long as the boat is either on land, or parked near to parking bay we should be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel tank sitting in the rear of your garden with aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of private and business properties in Lancashire to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a few containers in a shed, as long as we are able to reach it, we could certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Hollin Hall (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a comprehensive Lancashire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to refill the car in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at pump price) and refill your car or truck. They will be able to handle the standard troubles that may accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or maybe dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Hollin Hall - Hollin Hall Wrong Fuel Drain

A couple weeks ago a young man telephoned us just after his MINI stopped along a road in Hollin Hall. He had unintentionally put unleaded in his diesel motor and got so far as the street before having to pull up. It was actually early in the morning and our fuel drainer, who lives locally, was with him in about 15 minutes. We managed to drain the incorrect fuel and put clean diesel yet again in the vehicle. "Many thanks to you for your immediate response, and in particular at 3 a.m., I really appreciate it."
