It was about six pm on a Tuesday and even though we were promised a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! James and me were seated there talking over the rugby rankings, waiting for the sixth call that day to come in. Before long we received a call from a young lady on a business trip who had gone to the Tesco filling station in Westby and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Suzuki rental by mistake. She was rather irritated it seemed, stating "I simply cannot believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle I totally didn't remember I was running a diesel!" I just instructed her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and that such things often happen. She had managed to maneuver the car into a safe position and, since it was only a few minutes from the office, we were able to find the customer swiftly. The wrong fuel was extracted so she could get back to the Premier Inn she was residing in. Even though we got extremely wet, it was all worthwhile to see her drive off relaxed and less apprehensive. A fuel drain in Lancashire done well in my opinion!

We are all set to take the wrong fuel work.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Lancashire we have encountered progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination when a driver has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly due to motorists not understanding the right way to use it (important: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly near to one another on the car.

So, exactly what is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Because the product is primarily ionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Apart from this, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And most certainly be careful not to switch on the engine - not even to relocate it from the pump. If you did start the vehicle you would in all probability have to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is certainly an important situation to deal with in a car - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Having water in diesel or petrol can potentially produce idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of properly, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove compared to water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can solve both situations pretty easily.

Keep in mind that if ever the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we are able to access the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've carried out many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container laying in the back of your garden with unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several privately owned and business premises in Lancashire to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even some drums in a shed, provided that we are able to access it, we can drain it.

Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Westby (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a complete Lancashire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will come to refill the car any time you are stranded on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at pump price) to fill up your car or truck. They will be able to handle any of the common issues that might come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, and even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.
