It was before seven pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry and fresh night, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Dan and I were sitting talking about the weekend's tennis results, ready for the 8th call for the day to come in. Inevitably we had the phone call from a lady on a company expedition who had pulled into the BP filling garage in Skitham and filled petrol in her diesel Fiat rental car in error. The poor thing was pretty troubled by the sounds of it, telling me "I just can't believe I've messed up the vehicle! I'm so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I had forgot I was operating a diesel!" We instructed her to settle back and not to be concerned, also that such things often happen. She had managed to get the vehicle to a safe position and, seeing that it was only a few miles from where we were, we were able to arrive at her without delay. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could once again go back to the motel she was staying at. Even though we got really drenched, it was all worth it to see her drive off satisfied and much less stressed. One more misfuel correction in Lancashire well done in my opinion!

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Lancashire we have identified an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly caused by people not being aware of how to use it (note: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

So, what exactly is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Because AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

If in case you put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained at once. And certainly take care not to turn over the engine - not even to move it away from the pump. In cases where you have started the vehicle you would most likely need to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious issue to deal with in an automobile - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel is going to contribute to idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed effectively, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove as compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can deal with both circumstances rather quickly.

Remember though that if the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the previous one will undoubtedly be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to an automobile parking spot we can access the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank in the back of the garden full of out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many private and industrial premises in Lancashire to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or possibly even some containers in a storage shed, assuming that we can reach it, we could certainly empty it.

Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Skitham (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a full Lancashire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to re-fill your automobile in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) and fill up the car. They will take care of the most common problems that could go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to start, as well as dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Skitham - Skitham Wrong Fuel in Car

A customer contacted us from his house on a road in Skitham. He explained, "My car (a Chevrolet) is not running and is producing terrible sounds when I turn the ignition." He said that he had put petrol in his diesel vehicle but then reckoned he would solve the issue by putting more Diesel on top. We showed up quickly, performed the drain and filled it up again with clean Diesel. He told us after that he'd be absolutely sure to advise people not to fill up in addition to the wrong fuel but to have it cleaned out right away.
