We're only a call away.

It was close to six pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry day, it had not ceased raining! Ryan and me were sitting going over the recent tennis results, ready for the seventh telephone call for the day to come in. Before long we received the phone call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had pulled into the Shell petrol garage in Tanhouse and filled petrol in a diesel Renault rental car in error. The poor thing was very troubled apparently, crying "I simply can't believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle I had did not remember I was running a diesel!" We asked her to take it easy and not to fret, and also that such things sadly often happen. She was able to maneuver the car into a safe area and, as it was only a short distance off from our van, we were able to find the customer rather quickly. The bad fuel was removed and she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was lodging in. Although we got fairly drenched, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive home contented and a lot less stressed. One more job in Lancashire done well in my mind!

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Lancashire we have seen an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination where a person has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partially due to drivers not being totally sure the right way to to make use of (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right close to each other on the car.

Well, exactly what is the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Because the product is mainly deionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Moreover, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

If perhaps you put AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it asap. And most definitely don't crank the motor - not even to maneuver it into a parking bay. In the instance that you have started the car you may in all likelihood need to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, tends to be an important condition to address in a car - especially in current day common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel tank will likely trigger idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with properly, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out than water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both cases quite swiftly.

Remember though that if the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one is going to be wholly wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to a motor vehicle parking spot we can access the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container laying at the back of your garden containing unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several private and commercial properties in Lancashire for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps some drums in a storage shed, assuming that we can access it, we can certainly empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Tanhouse (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a comprehensive Lancashire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to fill up your car in cases where you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at pump prices) to refill your car. They can also deal with any of the normal troubles which may go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
