AdBlue In Diesel

All around Lancashire we are identifying an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is mainly due to people not knowing the right way to use it (be aware: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right close to each other on the vehicle.

Well, precisely what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing that the product is mostly deionised water, it's as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

If you find you put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out at the earliest opportunity. And most definitely be careful not to start the car - not even to shift it off of the pump. Assuming you have started the car you would almost certainly need to have the complete fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant issue to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Putting water in your petrol or diesel can easily trigger idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not sorted out correctly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both cases pretty easily.

Remember that as long as the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will be completely wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. As long as the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to a car or truck parking spot we are able to reach the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've carried out many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel reservoir sitting in the back of your garden containing unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many domestic and industrial premises in Lancashire to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even several drums in a shed, providing we are able to get to it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Lower Heysham (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a complete Lancashire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to refill your vehicle in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump prices) and refill your automobile. They will be able to take care of any of the typical issues that could come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Recent Fuel Drains in Lower Heysham

Tales from our own Lower Heysham employees:

Just picture being stuck in a vehicle with the incorrect fuel halfway down the road. Our most recent customer who filled up her tank with the wrong fuel (Chevrolet) in Lower Heysham suffered from precisely that difficulty: "Your engineer got my car from the road. He removed the wrong fuel from it and had it going once again inside of thirty minutes. Couldn't recommend you more."

A young lady from Lower Heysham with her kids in her diesel Dacia had filled her car with £40 of petrol at the Sainsburys service station. She contacted us sobbing and genuinely distraught as she had never wrong fuelled before and did not know what might happen to her vehicle because of it. We reassured her that all would be alright and that she would be back in action quickly. When we arrived on scene she was visible upset but while our engineer got to work on the fuel drain she calmed down as she recognised that something could be done and her car wasn't wrecked. She quickly cheered up and was on the road again saying, "I simply can't believe my bad luck putting petrol in my diesel vehicle! Specifically with the kids on board."

Fuel Rescue Lower Heysham - Lower Heysham Fuel Rescue

I appreciated a wonderful evening golfing during my afternoon off and was feeling delighted the following working day as I set out to help a new family holidaying in Lower Heysham. They'd broken down after adding diesel in their Lexus, and the car was roughly half an hour away. I arrived at their location and laughed to myself while I heard to the woman telling her spouse off for being so silly. "Exactly how could you conceivably be able to fill the vehicle up by using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I attempted to clarify that this occurs quite frequently in Lancashire and that it's absolutely nothing to be concerned about, nonetheless he all the same had his ear bent. Poor lad. Anyways, I cleaned up and removed the contaminated fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave it some proper fuel. While they drove down the road I mouthed bon voyage and wondered what my missus would ask me if ever I did the very same thing... I would never ever hear the end of it!
