It was around five pm on a Tuesday and while we were guaranteed a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not stopped pouring! Mark and I were seated there talking over the weekend's rugby rankings, prepared for the 8th job to come in. Eventually we received the call from a woman on a business trip who had pulled into the BP petrol station in Pike Hill and put petrol in her diesel Chevrolet rental car. The unfortunate lady was very irritated apparently, saying "I can't believe that I've messed up the car! I'm so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" I asked her to relax and not to be concerned, also that such things unfortunately happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle to a safe space and, seeing that it was only a few miles from the office, we were able to find the woman without delay. The wrong fuel was removed so she was able to get back to the hotel she was residing in. Even though we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive off satisfied and much less apprehensive. One more fuel drain in Lancashire done well in my mind!

Ahhh, that was a fantastic night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 on a bright Tuesday and we were on my way to help an old woman who had put petrol in her diesel BMW in Pike Hill. I'd been informed she had driven away from the filling station forecourt and was broken down in a country lane on the way to pay a visit to her godchildren. I plugged the location into the TomTom and got there within an hour or so. I reached the location and extracted the contaminated fuel in the car car. While I was doing the drain she said, "I'm becoming somewhat forgetful in my senior years and didn't remember about the vehicle needing diesel seeing that I'd only got it a couple of days ago after my other car, which I had used for more than 30 years, inevitably broke down". I got the drain done and she presented me a peppermint and said thanks a lot. Such a precious Lancashire lady!

AdBlue In Your Diesel
Throughout Lancashire we are finding increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is mainly as a result of motorists not being totally sure the way to to make use of (note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually right near to one another on the vehicle.
Now, precisely what is the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Because AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Apart from this, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.
If you find you put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained as quickly as possible. And certainly be careful not to switch on the vehicle - not even to shift it into a parking place. In the event that you did start the car you would most likely have to have the full fuel system purged and filters replaced.
Fuel contaminated with water
Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a serious matter to address in a vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Water in diesel or petrol will often lead to idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not dealt with fully, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. However we are able to solve both circumstances pretty easily.
Be aware however that any time the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will likely be totally wet and unusable.
Motorboat Fuel Drains
If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we are able to reach the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}
Waste Fuel Removal
Got a fuel reservoir sitting in the rear of the garden full of unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many domestic and commercial premises in Lancashire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or even a few containers in an outbuilding, as long as we can get to it, we can empty it.

They can also take care of the typical troubles which can come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Recent Fuel Drains in Pike Hill
Below are comments and instances of fuel drains we've carried out in Pike Hill:
It's no fun conking out in a vehicle with the wrong fuel in the middle of the street. One of our most recent customers who filled her diesel car with petrol (BMW) in Pike Hill suffered precisely this dilemma: "As you know I erroneously put unleaded in my diesel car like a absolute plonker. I was so distressed about it that I was besides myself. However I shouldn't have concerned myself as you were marvelous in dealing with the problem."
Fuel Drain Pike Hill - Pike Hill Fuel Drain
A driver from Pike Hill with a full car of little ones in her diesel Chevrolet had put £50 of petrol at the Tesco filling station. She phoned us weeping and really worried as she had never wrong fuelled and did not know what could happen to her car in doing so. We assured her that all should be fine and that she would be ready to go in no time at all. When we arrived on scene she was visible distressed but while our engineer began work on the fuel drain she simmered down since she saw that something could be done and her vehicle wasn't wrecked. She quickly cheered up and was up and running saying, "I really can't believe my luck putting petrol in my diesel car! Specifically with the kids in the back."
