It was close to 7 pm on a Monday and even though we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Brian and me were seated there talking over the recent golf rankings, ready for the sixth fuel drain for the day to come in. Inevitably we received a phone call from a woman on a company trip who had pulled into the Tesco filling station in Jack Green and put petrol in a diesel Volkswagen rental. The poor thing was quite distressed by the sounds of it, telling me "I still can't believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I had forgot I was operating a diesel!" I just advised her to relax and not to worry, plus that things like this sadly often happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle to a safe position and, since it was just a few minutes away from our van, we were able to arrive at the customer almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was extracted and she could once again go back to the motel she was residing in. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth it to see her drive off satisfied and a lot less concerned. Yet another misfuel correction in Lancashire well done in my books!

Our Areas of Expertise:

Here's a list of the wrong fuel services we give.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Lancashire we are noticing an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination where a person has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part stemming from motorists not being aware of how to to make use of (note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly near to one another on the car.

So, exactly what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it's almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Furthermore, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it as quickly as possible. And most certainly don't turn over the vehicle - not even to relocate it off the pump. If perhaps you did start the car you will probably have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is usually an important matter to take care of in an automobile - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel tank can certainly bring about idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with properly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to take care of both situations rather expediently.

Keep in mind though that as long as the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to a car or truck parking bay we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got an old fuel tank in the back of the garden with aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many private and commercial premises in Lancashire to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or even several containers in an outbuilding, if we are able to access it, we can drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Jack Green (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a comprehensive Lancashire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to fill up your vehicle in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) to fill your car or truck. They can also handle the standard troubles that may go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Jack Green - Jack Green Wrong Fuel Assist

I had appreciated a perfect afternoon golfing on my off day and felt pleased with myself the following morning as I set off to assist a young couple on vacation in Jack Green. They had conked out after putting diesel in their Dacia, and were close to half an hour away. I got there at their position and smiled to myself as I listened to the wife telling her spouse off for turning out to be so silly. "Just how could you conceivably manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she asked him. I attempted to clarify that this problem comes to pass frequently in Lancashire and that it's really nothing to fret about, but he yet still got an earful. Poor guy. In any case, I extracted all the contaminated fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled them up with the appropriate fuel. As they drove down the road I mouthed bon voyage and wondered what my wife would do to me if I made the exact same blunder... I'd never ever hear the end of it!
