It was before eight pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it had not given up on raining! James and I were relaxing discussing the recent footy rankings, ready for the 8th fuel drain to come in. Before long we had a call from a young lady on a business expedition who had gone to the Tesco filling garage in Ribby and filled petrol in a diesel Kia rental. She was pretty irritated it seemed, saying "I still can't believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I am so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just asked her to relax and not to fret, also that these things do happen. She had managed to get the car to a secure area and, seeing as it was no more than a few minutes from the office, we could arrive at the customer fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was taken out so she could go home to the Travelodge she was residing in. Despite the fact that we got fairly wet, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive home calm and a lot less worried. Another misfuel correction in Lancashire done well in my mind!

AdBlue Contamination

All around Lancashire we have noticed a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a driver has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent stemming from drivers not knowing the way to use it (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what exactly is the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Since the product is mostly ionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Furthermore, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

In the case you put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained as soon as possible. And of course take care not to start the vehicle - not even to move it to a parking bay. In the event that you did start the car you would probably have to have the full fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually an important situation to deal with in a car - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Water in your fuel can potentially lead to idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of properly, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to take care of both cases pretty expediently.

You should know however that any time the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the previous one will likely be totally water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to parking spot we are able to reach the storage and remove the fuel. We have performed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir at the back of your garden containing old, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few private and industrial premises in Lancashire to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even some containers in a storage shed, if we are able to get to it, we are able to drain it for you.

We will come to refill your vehicle in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at pump price) and refill your automobile. They will be able to deal with the standard problems which can come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
