It was close to 8 pm on a Thursday and even though we were promised a dry and fresh day, it had not stopped raining! Ray and me were sitting there commenting on the footy rankings, ready for the next fuel drain of the day to arrive. Finally we got the call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had gone to the Texaco filling station in Leyland and put petrol in a diesel MINI lease car. The unfortunate lady was fairly agitated by the sounds of it, saying "I still cannot believe I have destroyed the car! I'm so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I had forgot I was using a diesel!" I asked her to relax and not to fret, plus that these things regrettably often happen. She managed to maneuver the car to a secure space and, seeing that it was only a few minutes off from where we were, we could find the woman rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was extracted so she was able to go home to the hotel she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got pretty soaked, it was all worth the time seeing her drive home contented and a lot less concerned. Another misfuel correction in Lancashire done well in my books!

Our Areas of Expertise:

Here's a list of the incorrect fuel services we provide.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Lancashire we are finding more and more instances of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part caused by drivers not being totally sure the way to use it (remember: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly close to one another on the car.

Well, precisely what is the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Because the product is mainly deionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water don't mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition to this, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained immediately. And most certainly never switch on the vehicle - not even to move it away from the pump. If perhaps you did start the car you may almost certainly have to have the whole fuel system purged and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a significant situation to handle in a vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Water in fuel can lead to idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed correctly, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of than water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to handle both circumstances rather quickly.

Bear in mind though that if the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one will undoubtedly be wholly wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to an automobile parking bay we are able to gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We've done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel tank lying in the rear of your garden with aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several private and industrial premises in Lancashire for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps a few drums in a storage shed, providing we are able to get to it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Leyland (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a full Lancashire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to re-fill your automobile if you are stranded on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) and fill up your automobile. They will fix any of the typical troubles which might accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or maybe dead batteries due to over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Leyland - Leyland Fuel Drain

A man contacted us from his residence on a close in Leyland. He explained, "My car (a Peugeot) is not starting up and is making awful sounds when I flip the ignition." He said that he had put unleaded in his diesel vehicle but then imagined he would fix the issue by putting additional Diesel on top. We arrived promptly, carried out the drain and filled him up once more with clean Diesel. He said after that he would be certain to educate people not to fill up on top of the incorrect fuel but to have it cleaned out promptly.
