It was close to 7 pm on a Thursday and though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh night, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Mark and I were sitting there discussing the weekend's footy rankings, prepared for the 6th fuel drain of the day to come in. Finally we had a phone call from a lady on a company trip who had arrived at the Texaco petrol station in Edgworth and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Mercedes lease car. She was rather irritated by the sounds of it, telling me "I simply cannot believe that I've destroyed the car! I am so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot that I was running a diesel!" We advised her to settle back and not to worry, and also that these things often happen. She was able to relocate the car into a protected position and, as it was only a short distance from where we were, we could find the lady quickly. The incorrect fuel was extracted so she could get back to the Travelodge she was residing at. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive away satisfied and not so apprehensive. A misfuel correction in Lancashire done well in my books!

Listed here are our top services we offer to our customers.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Lancashire we have seen a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination when a person has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to some extent thanks to motorists not understanding how to use it (note: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly next to each other on the automobile.

Now, what's the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Also, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out right away. And absolutely be careful not to start the vehicle - not even to relocate it into a parking area. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you will in all likelihood need to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is actually an important situation to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank will likely bring about idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied properly, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can resolve both circumstances pretty easily.

Be aware however that whenever the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed since the previous one will likely be completely water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or parked close to a car or truck parking spot we should be able to reach the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We have carried out quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got an old fuel tank sitting at the rear of the garden with unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several domestic and commercial premises in Lancashire for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even numerous containers in a garage, providing we can reach it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Edgworth (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a complete Lancashire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to refill your vehicle any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) to fill the car. They are also able to fix the typical problems that could go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
