It was around five pm on a Saturday and although we were guaranteed a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't ceased pouring! Dan and I were relaxing there going over the weekend's football rankings, waiting for the 8th job that day to come in. Eventually we received the call from a lovely women on a business excursion who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol station in Black Moor and put petrol in a diesel Renault rental car by mistake. She was fairly distressed apparently, saying "I still cannot believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to filling up my petrol car I completely forgot I was operating a diesel!" We instructed her to calm down and not to fret, also that things like this can happen. She managed to move the vehicle into a secure area and, seeing that it was only a few miles from our van, we could reach her swiftly. The incorrect fuel was taken out and she was able to return to the Travelodge she was residing at. Although we got extremely drenched, it was all worth it to see her drive home satisfied and less apprehensive. Yet another job in Lancashire done well in my books!

Our Services:

We can help you with these mis-fuel mistakes.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Lancashire we are noticing a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination where someone has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially caused by drivers not being totally sure the right way to work with it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Now, what exactly is the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? As AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Apart from this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

Call us if you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to correct all types of AdBlue contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is actually an important issue to handle in a vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel can potentially bring about idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed correctly, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to drain when compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can solve both cases pretty quickly.

Remember though that any time the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the previous one will be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to an automobile parking bay we will be able to access the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We've succesfully done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container at the back of your premises with out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few private and industrial premises in Lancashire for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or even some drums in a shed, provided that we are able to access it, we can certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Black Moor (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a complete Lancashire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will help to refill your car in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) and refill your vehicle. They are also able to deal with any of the standard issues which can go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, as well as dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Black Moor - Black Moor Fuel Drain

I had appreciated a fantastic afternoon cycling on my day off and felt contented with myself the next morning as I was en route to help a young couple on holiday in Black Moor. They stopped after inserting the wrong fuel in their Lexus, and the car was about half an hour away. I got there at their car and laughed while I heard to the woman telling off her partner for turning out to be so stupid. "How could you even manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she demanded of him. I wanted to explain that this kind of thing happens everyday in Lancashire and that it is nothing at all to fret about, even so he yet still had an ear bashing by his better half. Unlucky guy. At any rate, I drained the contaminated fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave them some correct fuel. While they drove off I mouthed goodbye and considered what her indoors would say to me if ever I did the exact same thing... I'd personally never ever live it down!
