It was just after eight pm on a Wednesday and even though we were promised a dry night, it hadn't ceased raining! Paul and I were resting there talking about the football, waiting for the 6th telephone call for the day to arrive. In due time we got a phone call from a young lady on a company excursion who had gone to the Shell petrol garage in Knott End-on-Sea and filled petrol in a diesel Volvo lease car in error. She was pretty troubled by the sounds of it, stating "I still cannot believe I have ruined the car! I am just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car that I had did not remember that I was running a diesel!" I just asked her to settle back and not to be concerned, and also that things like this unfortunately can happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle to a protected space and, seeing that it was only a few miles away from where we were, we could arrive at the customer quickly. The wrong fuel was drained and she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was lodging in. Despite the fact that we got very wet, it was all worth the effort to see her drive away relaxed and much less apprehensive. One more job in Lancashire well done in my mind!

Services We Offer:

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

AdBlue Contamination

In Lancashire we have seen a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination where somebody has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is partially due to people being unsure of how to work with it (note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly near to each other on the automobile.

So, precisely what is the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? As the product is mainly deionised water, it is as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Furthermore, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

Call us if you are suffering from AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can handle all kinds of AdBlue contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a significant condition to take care of in a car - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Having water in the diesel or petrol will often produce idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of fully, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove when compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. However we are able to solve both circumstances pretty swiftly.

Remember that whenever the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the previous one will be wholly water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or situated close to an automobile parking spot we can reach the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir lying in the rear of your garden containing unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of private and industrial properties in Lancashire to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps several containers in a shed, if we can get to it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Fuel Rescue Knott End-on-Sea - Knott End-on-Sea Fuel Drain

I enjoyed a terrific evening fishing on the weekend and was feeling satisfied with myself the next working day as I set out to assist a new couple who were vacationing in Knott End-on-Sea. They had conked out after adding the wrong fuel in their BMW, and they were roughly half an hour away. I got there at their car and smiled while I heard to the gal chastising her husband for actually being so daft. "Exactly how could you conceivably find a way to fill the car up by using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I wanted to explain that this kind of thing goes on constantly in Lancashire and that it is nothing to worry about, nonetheless he in spite of everything had his ear bent. Poor boy. Anyway, I removed the polluted fuel, flushed the motor and filled them up with the proper fuel. While they drove off I mouthed goodbye and considered what her indoors would ask me in the event that I made the exact same error... I'd never hear the end of it!
