Services We Deliver:

Here are the top services we offer to our customers.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Lancashire we are identifying a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination where somebody has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree as a result of people not being aware of the way to work with it (remember: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right next to each other on the automobile.

Now, what exactly is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Since AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Apart from this, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

In case you put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out right away. And absolutely be careful not to crank the car - not even to maneuver it to a parking spot. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you will in all probability need to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's petrol or diesel, is without question a significant condition to take care of in a motor vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel can certainly cause idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out correctly, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to take care of both situations rather expediently.

Take note however that so long as the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we should be able to access the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have completed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank sitting in the back of the garden full of aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many private and industrial premises in Lancashire for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even several drums in an outbuilding, assuming that we can reach it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Little Harwood (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a complete Lancashire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to refill your car if you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) to fill the car. They will be able to handle the standard issues that can come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

A gentleman had broken down just near a street in Little Harwood. His Fiat engine had ceased functioning and he had no clue what was the problem right up until he noticed he put unleaded in his diesel car. He phoned us to get a fuel drain and that is when he explained to us: "I cannot believe that I did not detect that I put the incorrect fuel in my vehicle." He stated that he had got absolutely no sleep the day before and that must have been precisely why.
