Services We Offer:

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

AdBlue In Diesel

In Lancashire we are identifying a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination when a person has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially caused by people not understanding the way to use it (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly next to one another on the automobile.

So, precisely what is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Since the product is mainly ionised water, it's just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Also, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If you put AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it at the earliest opportunity. And absolutely be careful not to switch on the car - not even to relocate it off of the pump. If you have started the vehicle you would likely need to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, can be an important matter to address in a vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel can potentially bring about idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of correctly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove when compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both circumstances pretty expediently.

Remember that if ever the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will be wholly water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to a car parking spot we will be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel reservoir laying in the rear of the garden full of unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few domestic and industrial properties in Lancashire for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or even some drums in a shed, as long as we can access it, we could certainly drain it for you.

We will come to refill your car if you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home.

Fuel Removal Hey - Hey Wrong Fuel

I enjoyed a terrific evening hiking on my off day and was feeling delighted with myself the following morning as I set out to help a new couple who were away in Hey. They had conked out after inserting diesel in their MG, and they were roughly half an hour away. I showed up at their car and laughed as I listened to the girl chastising her husband for turning out to be so stupid. "How could you even manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she said to him. I tried to explain that this problem comes to pass all the time in Lancashire and that it is nothing to stress about, nevertheless he in spite of everything had an ear bashing. Unlucky guy. Anyway, I extracted all the polluted fuel, flushed the motor and gave it some correct fuel. While watching them drive off I waved so long and thought about what her indoors would say to me in the event that I did the very same thing... I'd personally never ever live it down!
