Here is a list of the wrong fuel services we deliver.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Lancashire we are discovering increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially stemming from drivers not being totally sure the right way to work with it (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right next to one another on the car.

Now, precisely what is the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? As the product is mostly deionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition to this, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you end up in this predicament do not panic! Contact us, the UK?s Number one fuel contamination business. Our engineers have got the practical know-how and experience to get you back on the road rapidly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is certainly a significant condition to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel can certainly cause idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed effectively, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to take care of both cases pretty expediently.

Take note however that if ever the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one is going to be wholly wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. So long as the boat is either on land, or secured close to a car parking spot we are able to access the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We've succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel container sitting at the rear of your premises with aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several domestic and commercial premises in Lancashire to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a few drums in a shed, provided that we can reach it, we are able to drain it for you.

We are able to help to fill up your vehicle in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at home.
