It was about 10 pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't ceased raining! Paul and me were resting going over the weekend's tennis results, prepared for the 8th call that day to come in. Eventually we got a phone call from a woman on a company trip who had gone to the BP filling station in Queenstown and filled petrol in her diesel Dacia lease car in error. She was rather agitated by the sounds of it, saying "I just can't believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just instructed her to settle back and not to fret, and also that things like this unfortunately often happen. She had managed to get the vehicle to a protected spot and, as it was just a few miles off from the office, we were able to arrive at the lady without delay. The wrong fuel was taken out so she could get back to the motel she was residing at. Even though we got extremely wet, it was all rewarding to see her drive off relaxed and much less concerned. Yet another misfuel correction in Lancashire done well in my opinion!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Lancashire we are encountering more and more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree stemming from people not being aware of how to use it (important: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly next to one another on the vehicle.

So, what is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing that the product is primarily deionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition to this, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

If you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And definitely take care not to switch on the motor - not even to relocate it to a parking spot. In case you have started the vehicle you would in all probability have to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a significant matter to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines. Putting water in your petrol or diesel will result in idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied properly, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. However we are able to take care of both cases rather simply.

Take note however that if ever the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will probably be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or parked close to a motor vehicle parking bay we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir lying in the rear of your premises with old, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many privately owned and industrial premises in Lancashire for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a number of containers in a shed, provided that we are able to access it, we are able to empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Queenstown (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a comprehensive Lancashire Out of Fuel Service. We will help to re-fill your car if you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at cost) to refill your vehicle. They can also take care of the typical troubles that may go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Queenstown - Queenstown Fuel Drain

I'd had a wonderful afternoon cycling on my holiday and felt delighted the following morning as I was en route to assist a young couple away in Queenstown. They had conked out after inserting petrol in their Smart, and were about half an hour's travel away. I turned up at their position and smiled while I listened to the lady telling off her man for being so stupid. "How could you even manage to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I wanted to clarify that this problem occurs regularly in Lancashire and that it is nothing at all to fret about, however he in spite of everything had his ear bent. I felt genuine sympathy for the lad. In any case, I drained the polluted fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled it up with the correct fuel. As they drove off I waved farewell and pondered on what her indoors would ask me if perhaps I made the exact same blunder... I'd personally never ever live it down!
