It was just before 7 pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry and fresh night, it had not stopped raining! Brian and I were seated talking over the footy rankings, waiting around for the seventh call to arrive. Before long we received a phone call from a lady on a company excursion who had pulled into the Esso petrol garage in Silverdale Green and put petrol in her diesel MINI rental car in error. She was fairly irritated apparently, saying "I can't believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car that I totally didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I instructed her to take it easy and not to fret, and that these things can happen. She managed to maneuver the car to a secure position and, seeing as it was only a few minutes off from us, we were able to find the customer without delay. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could once again go back to the hotel she was lodging at. Even though we got really drenched, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive away relaxed and much less stressed. A fuel drain in Lancashire done well in my books!

Our Areas of Competency :

We are willing to take the wrong fuel job.

AdBlue Contamination

In Lancashire we have seen a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly a result of drivers not knowing the way to work with it (note: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right near to one another on the car.

Now, what's the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Furthermore, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

Assuming you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And most certainly never start the engine - not even to move it to a parking bay. In the event that you have started the car you will very likely have to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant issue to address in a car - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel tank can contribute to idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of properly, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can solve both circumstances very quickly.

Remember however that as long as the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to a car parking bay we are able to access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got an old fuel reservoir placed in the back of your premises containing unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many private and commercial premises in Lancashire for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps a number of drums in a shed, providing we can reach it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Silverdale Green (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a complete Lancashire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will come to re-fill your car in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) and refill the car. They can also deal with any of the normal issues which might go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or even dead batteries because of over-cranking.
