It was around six pm on a Saturday and though we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Paul and I were seated there commenting on the tennis rankings, waiting for the 8th job to arrive. In due time we had a call from a woman on a company trip who had gone to the Shell petrol garage in Higher Penwortham and filled petrol in her diesel Smart hire car. The unfortunate lady was rather agitated by the sounds of it, saying "I simply cannot believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I had didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I instructed her to calm down and not to worry, and also that things like this do happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle to a safe space and, seeing as it was no more than a few miles from where we were, we were able to find the lady fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was extracted and she was able to get back to the motel she was living in. Although we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth it seeing her drive away contented and a lot less anxious. One more fuel drain in Lancashire well done in my books!

AdBlue In Diesel

In Lancashire we are identifying a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination when a driver has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree caused by motorists being unsure of the right way to use it (take note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly next to each other on the vehicle.

Now, exactly what is the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Additionally, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

If you find you put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And certainly don't start the vehicle - not even to maneuver it into a parking place. If you did start the car you will almost certainly have to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is usually an important matter to handle in a vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Water in fuel can easily result in idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed effectively, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can handle both cases rather quickly.

You should know though that in the event that the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be installed as the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to parking spot we will be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir sitting at the back of your garden full of out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many private and business properties in Lancashire to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even some drums in a shed, providing we are able to get to it, we are able to empty it for you.
