It was just after six pm on a Thursday and even though we were guaranteed a dry evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Mark and I were resting discussing the tennis, at the ready for the sixth job for the day to arrive. In due time we got a call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had arrived at the Texaco filling station in Tarleton and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Mitsubishi rental car by mistake. The poor lady was rather agitated by the sounds of it, telling me "I simply cannot believe that I've destroyed the car! I'm so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car that I completely did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I just asked her to calm down and not to worry, and that things like this regrettably do happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle into a protected position and, seeing as it was only a short distance off from us, we were able to find her without delay. The wrong fuel was removed so she could once again go back to the hotel she was staying at. Despite the fact we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth it seeing her drive off relaxed and less stressed.

Here's a list of the incorrect fuel services we provide.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Lancashire we have noticed progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly a result of motorists not being totally sure the right way to to make use of (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what exactly is the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? As AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious issue to take care of in a car - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel will likely produce idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with effectively, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove as compared to water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both situations rather easily.

Remember that in the event that the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will likely be thoroughly wet and useless.

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or secured close to an automobile parking spot we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Wrong Fuel Drain Tarleton - Tarleton Wrong Fuel

I had a wonderful evening hiking during my holiday and felt cheerful with myself the following morning as I set out to aid a young family who were on holiday in Tarleton. They pulled over after putting the wrong fuel into their Peugeot, and the car was about half an hour's drive away. I arrived at their location and smiled to myself while I listened to the gal telling her partner off for being so foolish. "Precisely how could you conceivably manage to fill the vehicle up with the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I tried to tell her that this occurs on daily basis in Lancashire and that it's actually nothing at all to be anxious about, however he all the same had an earful by his better half. I felt genuine sympathy for the chap. In any case, I drained all the wrong fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled it up with the proper fuel. Watching them drive off I waved so long and wondered what my wife would ask me if I did the exact same thing... I'd personally under no circumstances hear the end of it!
