It was around 7 pm on a Saturday and although we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring! Mark and I were resting talking over the recent rugby results, waiting around for the 6th call of the day to arrive. Finally we got the phone call from a lovely women on a business trip who had gone to the BP petrol station in Skitham and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Hyundai rental by mistake. She was pretty distressed apparently, saying "I can't believe that I've messed up the car! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol car that I completely forgot I was running a diesel!" We advised her to settle back and not to worry, also that such things regrettably often happen.

Our Areas of Competence :

This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Lancashire we have encountered increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination when an individual has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part a result of people not understanding the way to use it (note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right near to one another on the car.

Now, what's the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? As the product is mainly deionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Moreover, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

In the event that you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And most certainly don't crank the vehicle - not even to shift it to a parking place. In the event that you did start the vehicle you may almost certainly have to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be an important matter to deal with in a motor vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water inside your fuel can potentially result in idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not taken care of fully, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove when compared with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both situations quite swiftly.

You should know though that in the event that the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one is going to be completely wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. Providing the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to parking spot we should be able to access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir in the back of your premises with unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to numerous private and industrial properties in Lancashire to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a number of containers in a storage shed, providing we are able to reach it, we can certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Skitham (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a full Lancashire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can help to re-fill your automobile any time you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump prices) and fill up your automobile. They can also handle any of the common problems that can accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Skitham - Skitham Wrong Fuel

I had a perfect evening golfing on my holiday and was feeling pleased with myself the next working day as I set out to assist a new couple vacationing in Skitham. They had conked out after adding diesel into their Porsche, and the car was around half an hour's travel away. I got there at their location and smirked as I listened to the girl telling her husband off for actually being so confused. "How could you even manage to fill the car up by using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I wanted to clarify that this situation comes to pass continuously in Lancashire and that it's absolutely nothing to worry about, however he yet still had an ear bashing by his wife. Unfortunate guy. In any case, I removed the contaminated fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled them up with the proper fuel. While they drove down the road I shouted so long and pondered on what my wife would tell me if I did the same thing... I would personally never ever live it down!
