This is exactly what we do best.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Lancashire we are identifying an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part a result of motorists not being aware of the right way to to make use of (be aware: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right next to each other on the vehicle.

Well, precisely what is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it's like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out asap. And definitely never crank the motor - not even to maneuver it into a parking place. In case you did start the vehicle you may most likely have to have the full fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is without question a serious situation to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Water inside your diesel or petrol can easily trigger idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out correctly, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. However we can solve both cases pretty easily.

Keep in mind that in the event that the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to a vehicle parking bay we should be able to gain access to the tanks and remove the fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got an old fuel reservoir placed in the back of your garden with old, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many privately owned and industrial premises in Lancashire for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps a few containers in a storage shed, providing we are able to access it, we can drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Wiswell (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a comprehensive Lancashire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to re-fill your vehicle any time you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at cost) and fill up your vehicle. They can also deal with the most common issues which may come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or even dead batteries due to over-cranking.
