It was before six pm on a Wednesday and although we were guaranteed a rainless day, it had not given up on pouring down rain! Mark and I were resting there commenting on the recent footy, waiting for the 8th fuel drain that day to arrive. Before long we got the phone call from a lovely women on a company trip who had arrived at the Tesco filling station in Matshead and put the wrong fuel in her diesel SEAT rental car. The poor lady was somewhat troubled apparently, crying "I just can't believe I've wrecked the car! I am so used to filling up my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I advised her to settle back and not to be concerned, also that these things can happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle to a safe position and, because it was no more than a few miles off from where we were, we were able to get to the customer swiftly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was lodging in. Despite the fact we got very wet, it was all worth the time to see her drive away contented and a lot less worried. One more job in Lancashire done well in my opinion!

Provided Services: Our Specialties:

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

AdBlue In Diesel

What to do if you have poured Adblue in your Diesel fuel tank? AdBlue is a chemical that is made of a mixture of urea and deionized water (67.5%).Adblue can be devastating to your automobile's fuel system, especially any time you started the car with Adblue in the tank. Whenever the engine has been switched on the Adblue will likely be injected into your fuel lines and will immediately start to crystalise, causing disastrous and costly harm to your vehicle's fuel system.

In the case you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out at once. And of course do not switch on the vehicle - not even to relocate it off of the pump. If perhaps you did start the car you would very likely need to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is generally an important condition to handle in a vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol may cause idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of properly, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to take care of both cases quite easily.

Take note that if the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will probably be completely water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to a vehicle parking bay we can reach the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container placed at the rear of your garden full of unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and business properties in Lancashire for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even numerous containers in a storage shed, assuming that we can get to it, we can drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Matshead (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a complete Lancashire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will help to refill your car any time you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at pump price) to fill your car or truck. They can also handle any of the most common troubles that might come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Matshead - Matshead Fuel Removal

Last friday a driver contacted us right after his Chevrolet stopped on a street in Matshead. He had accidentally put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle and got as far as the street before having to stop. It was really in the early hours of the day and our fuel drainer, who lives locally, got to him in less than ten minutes. We were able to take out the incorrect fuel and put fresh diesel yet again in the car. "Many thanks to you for your fast response, especially at 6 a.m., I genuinely am grateful for it."
