It was just after 7 pm on a Friday and while we were assured a dry night, it hadn't stopped raining! Ray and I were resting talking about the sports results, waiting around for the next fuel drain to come in. Finally we had a call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had pulled into the Esso petrol station in Broad Clough and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Mitsubishi lease car in error. The poor thing was somewhat agitated by the sounds of it, saying "I can't believe that I have ruined the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling my petrol car I had didn't remember I was using a diesel!" We told her to calm down and not to fret, plus that things like this unfortunately do happen. She managed to maneuver the car to a safe area and, seeing that it was just a few miles away from the office, we were able to arrive at the lady quickly. The bad fuel was taken out so she could once again go back to the hotel she was lodging in. Despite the fact that we got really drenched, it was all worth it to see her drive off satisfied and a lot less stressed. A job in Lancashire done well in my opinion!

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue Contamination

In Lancashire we have discovered increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is mostly as a consequence of motorists not understanding the right way to use it (note: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly near to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what exactly is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Since the product is predominantly deionised water, it's just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Furthermore, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out right away. And obviously never start up the motor - not even to move it off the pump. Assuming you did start the car you would in all probability have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally an important situation to address in an automobile - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Having water in your diesel or petrol can easily cause idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of properly, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain as compared to water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to handle both cases pretty expediently.

You should know however that in the event that the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will likely be totally wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or situated close to a car parking bay we can gain access to the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel tank placed at the rear of your garden with unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and business premises in Lancashire for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or possibly even several drums in a storage shed, provided that we can access it, we can drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Broad Clough (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a comprehensive Lancashire Out of Fuel Service. We will come to re-fill the car in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) to fill your car or truck. They will be able to deal with the most common problems which might come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to start, as well as flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Broad Clough - Broad Clough Wrong Fuel

A person called us from his home on a street in Broad Clough. He said, "My vehicle (a Volkswagen) is not starting up and is producing dreadful noises when I turn the key." He said that he put unleaded in his diesel car however reckoned he would resolve the issue by putting extra Diesel on top. We arrived quickly, did the drain and filled it up once again with untainted Diesel. He said he'd be absolutely sure to explain to people not to fill up in addition to the incorrect fuel but to have it drained promptly.
