Our Areas of Expertise :

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

AdBlue Contamination

In Lancashire we are discovering a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part as a consequence of drivers not understanding the way to use it (note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right close to one another on the car.

Well, precisely what is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing as the product is mainly ionised water, it is actually just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it right away. And most definitely do not switch on the vehicle - not even to shift it off the pump. In case you have started the car you will very likely have to have the full fuel system purged and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant issue to address in a motor vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Water in fuel can potentially lead to idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of fully, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we can handle both situations quite quickly.

Take note that if ever the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will probably be totally water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or situated near to a vehicle parking bay we are able to access the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have succesfully done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel container in the rear of your premises full of out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to numerous privately owned and industrial properties in Lancashire to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even several containers in a garage, assuming that we can reach it, we can drain it.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Lane Ends (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a full Lancashire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to fill up your car any time you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) and fill your vehicle. They can also fix any of the normal problems which may go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Lane Ends - Lane Ends Fuel Rescue

I had a terrific afternoon cycling on my holiday and felt satisfied the next day as I was en route to help a young couple holidaying in Lane Ends. They'd conked out after putting petrol in their Fiat, and they were around half an hour away. I got there at their location and smirked while I heard to the wife telling her man off for actually being so silly. "Exactly how could you conceivably be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she said to him. I wanted to tell her that this kind of thing comes to pass on daily basis in Lancashire and that it's truly absolutely nothing to stress about, but he yet still had his ear bent by his better half. Unlucky guy. In any case, I removed the wrong fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled them up with the correct fuel. As they drove down the road I shouted bon voyage and thought about what her indoors would do to me if perhaps I made the same error... I'd personally never ever live it down!
