It was just after 9 pm on a Monday and though we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ray and I were resting talking over the weekend's football results, ready for the seventh call of the day to come in. Inevitably we received a call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had arrived at the Shell filling station in Melling and put petrol in a diesel Volvo rental car. She was rather agitated it seemed, crying "I still cannot believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling up my petrol car I had did not remember I was using a diesel!" We told her to settle back and not to be concerned, plus that things like this happen. She had managed to move the vehicle to a safe spot and, since it was only a few miles off from the office, we could get to the customer rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was removed and she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was living at. Even though we got fairly wet, it was all rewarding to see her drive away calm and not so anxious. One more misfuel correction in Lancashire done well in my books!

Our Services:

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

AdBlue Contamination

In Lancashire we are discovering progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent stemming from drivers not being aware of the right way to to make use of (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to one another on the automobile.

Well, what's the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing as the product is mainly deionised water, it's like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Moreover, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

Phone us if you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to take care of all types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly an important matter to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Water in your diesel or petrol can produce idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not addressed correctly, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove as compared to water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can take care of both situations very quickly.

Remember though that if ever the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will undoubtedly be wholly wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to a vehicle parking bay we are able to access the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have a fuel tank placed at the back of your premises full of unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several domestic and industrial properties in Lancashire to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps a number of drums in a storage shed, provided that we are able to reach it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Melling (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a comprehensive Lancashire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to fill up your automobile if you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at pump price) and fill up the car. They can also take care of any of the usual problems which may go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue Melling - Melling Wrong Fuel Drain

I'd had a terrific afternoon cycling during my off day and felt satisfied the next day as I headed out to assist a new family who were away in Melling. They'd stopped after inserting petrol into their Land Rover, and the car was approximately half an hour away. I arrived at their position and smiled as I heard to the gal telling her husband off for actually being so confused. "Exactly how could you even manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she said to him. I tried to explain that this situation comes to pass constantly in Lancashire and that it's nothing at all to get worried about, but he yet still had his ear bent. I felt sorry for the chap. Anyhow, I extracted the contaminated fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled it up with the appropriate fuel. While they drove down the road I mouthed bon voyage and pondered on what her indoors would tell me if I made the same mistake... I'd never live it down!
