This is what we do best.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Lancashire we have encountered progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination when a driver has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree a result of drivers not knowing how to work with it (be aware: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly next to each other on the car.

Now, exactly what is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Since AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it's like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Also, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it as soon as possible. And obviously be careful not to start the motor - not even to relocate it from the pump. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you will likely have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is generally an important matter to address in an automobile - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel tank will likely contribute to idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not sorted out effectively, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to drain than water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can solve both circumstances very simply.

Remember however that as long as the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the previous one is going to be wholly water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to a car or truck parking bay we should be able to reach the tanks and drain out the fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got a fuel tank laying in the back of your garden containing unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few private and industrial properties in Lancashire for the purpose of draining 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. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or even several containers in a storage shed, providing we are able to reach it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Crawford (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a full Lancashire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can come to fill up your vehicle any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump price) and fill up your vehicle. They can also deal with any of the typical issues that might come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to start, and even flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Fuel Removal Crawford - Crawford Wrong Fuel Assist

I had a fantastic afternoon cycling on my holiday and felt cheerful the next day as I was en route to assist a young family holidaying in Crawford. They'd broken down after inserting diesel into their Jaguar, and the car was approximately an hour's drive away. I got there at their location and smirked to myself as I listened to the woman chastising her man for being so silly. "Just how could you conceivably find a way to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she said to him. I tried to explain that this situation comes to pass everyday in Lancashire and that it is nothing to stress about, even so he yet still got his ear bent. Unfortunate guy. At any rate, I cleaned up and removed the wrong fuel, flushed the engine and filled them up with the appropriate fuel. As they drove down the road I shouted so long and wondered what my wife would say to me if ever I made the exact same blunder... I'd under no circumstances hear the end of it!
