It was just after eight pm on a Friday and although we were guaranteed a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Paul and I were resting talking about the recent sports, ready for the sixth job to come in. Inevitably we received a call from a girl on a company excursion who had arrived at the Esso filling garage in Oswaldtwistle and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Lexus hire car. The unfortunate lady was fairly agitated apparently, telling me "I just can't believe that I have wrecked the car! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol car I had forgot that I was operating a diesel!" We instructed her to calm down and not to be concerned, and also that these things do happen. She was able to get the vehicle into a secure position and, seeing that it was just a few minutes off from the office, we were able to find the woman quickly. The bad fuel was extracted and she was able to return to the motel she was lodging at. Despite the fact we got fairly drenched, it was all worthwhile to see her drive home calm and much less concerned. Another misfuel correction in Lancashire done well in my books!

Listed here are the top services we deliver to our clients.

AdBlue Contamination

In Lancashire we are finding an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination when someone has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially stemming from people not being totally sure the right way to use it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and partly because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right close to one another on the automobile.

Now, what exactly is the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Since the product is mainly ionised water, it is like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Moreover, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

If you put AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it as soon as possible. And obviously be careful not to start up the car - not even to move it to a parking place. In the instance that you have started the car you may most likely have to have the full fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, tends to be an important matter to take care of in a car - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel will lead to idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with properly, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove than water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can deal with both cases pretty easily.

Remember however that as long as the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to a car parking bay we can gain access to the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've carried out many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank lying in the rear of the garden full of out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several private and industrial premises in Lancashire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps some drums in a garage, providing we can get to it, we are able to empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Oswaldtwistle (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a comprehensive Lancashire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to refill your automobile in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) to fill up the car. They will fix the most common problems that could accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even dead batteries because of over-cranking.
