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

AdBlue In Diesel

In Lancashire we have seen progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination where someone has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly stemming from people not being aware of how to work with it (remember: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right near to one another on the car.

So, what is the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Since AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

If you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it immediately. And absolutely be careful not to crank the engine - not even to relocate it into a parking spot. If you did start the car you will almost certainly need to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is generally a serious situation to handle in an automobile - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel can certainly produce idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of effectively, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to take care of both cases pretty easily.

Keep in mind though that any time the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the old one is going to be thoroughly wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to a vehicle parking spot we should be able to access the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We have carried out numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel container lying at the rear of your garden with unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and commercial premises in Lancashire to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps numerous drums in a storage shed, provided that we are able to get to it, we could certainly drain it.

Run out of fuel in Burscough Bridge (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a comprehensive Lancashire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to refill your automobile any time you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at cost) and fill up your car. They can also take care of any of the typical issues which can go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or maybe dead batteries because of over-cranking.
