It was close to five pm on a Saturday and though we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it had not ceased pouring down rain! Ray and I were sitting commenting on the recent tennis results, waiting for the sixth job that day to arrive. Before long we had a call from a lovely women on a business expedition who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol station in Norcross and filled petrol in her diesel Vauxhall rental car by mistake. She was very affected it seemed, telling me "I simply can't believe I have ruined the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car I totally didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" We instructed her to relax and not to fret, also that things like this happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle to a safe area and, as it was only a few miles away from our van, we were able to find her fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was drained so she could return to the Premier Inn she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got really drenched, it was all rewarding to watch her drive home calm and much less worried. Another misfuel correction in Lancashire done well in my opinion!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Lancashire we have encountered increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination where someone has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to some extent as a consequence of people not understanding how to to make use of (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually right adjacent to one another on the car.

So, exactly what is the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is actually like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Furthermore, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained as soon as possible. And of course be careful not to crank the motor - not even to shift it off of the pump. In the event that you have started the vehicle you will most likely need to have the whole fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is certainly a significant situation to deal with in a car - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water in the diesel or petrol will likely result in idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of properly, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out as compared to water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both situations very simply.

Be aware though that so long as the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one will likely be thoroughly wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We've succesfully done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

We've been called out to many domestic and commercial premises in Lancashire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even numerous drums in an outbuilding, provided that we can reach it, we can empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Norcross (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a comprehensive Lancashire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to refill the car in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at pump price) and fill up your car. They will be able to handle the common problems that may accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or maybe dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.
