It was after five pm on a Saturday and even though we were promised a dry day, it hadn't stopped raining! Brian and I were sitting discussing the recent sports, at the ready for the seventh call for the day to arrive. Eventually we had a phone call from a lady on a business trip who had gone to the Texaco filling garage in Thorpe Green and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Volvo rental by mistake. She was somewhat irritated by the sounds of it, telling me "I just can't believe I have ruined the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling my petrol car that I had did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I asked her to take it easy and not to worry, plus that such things unfortunately can happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle into a protected space and, seeing that it was just a few minutes off from the office, we were able to arrive at her swiftly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could get back to the Travelodge she was living in. Although we got fairly drenched, it was all rewarding to see her drive home relaxed and a lot less anxious. One more misfuel correction in Lancashire well done in my mind!

Our Areas of Experience :

We are willing to take the wrong fuel work.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Lancashire we are finding a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination when an individual has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent due to people not being aware of the way to to make use of (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly close to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what exactly is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Since the product is predominantly ionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Apart from this, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

In case you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And most certainly do not start up the motor - not even to relocate it from the pump. If you did start the vehicle you may most likely have to have the entire fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious matter to handle in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel will bring about idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed effectively, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to drain compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to take care of both cases fairly quickly.

You should know however that as long as the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter to be installed since the old one will probably be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to parking spot we can gain access to the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container placed in the rear of your garden with unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and industrial premises in Lancashire to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or even a few drums in a storage shed, if we can reach it, we can certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Thorpe Green (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a comprehensive Lancashire Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to refill your automobile any time you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump price) and fill up your vehicle. They will be able to take care of any of the typical problems that can accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to start, and even dead batteries due to over-cranking.
