Local Call-Out and Roadside Wrong Fuel Repair in Over Kellet

If you've unfortunately put the wrong fuel in your car and so now need to have a fuel drain you are most likely trawling the net looking for a swift, reputable, proficient and reasonably priced wrong fuel removal company in Over Kellet or Lancashire. We are the people for your requirements!

It was just before 8 pm on a Saturday and even though we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't ceased raining! Ryan and I were sitting commenting on the weekend's sports results, waiting for the 8th telephone call for the day to come in. Finally we received the phone call from a young lady on a business expedition who had pulled into the Texaco petrol station in Over Kellet and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Citroen hire car. She was fairly troubled by the sounds of it, telling me "I can not believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling my petrol car that I had forgot that I was operating a diesel!" We told her to take it easy and not to fret, and also that such things sadly often happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle into a secure area and, seeing as it was no more than a few miles off from where we were, we could arrive at the lady right away. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could once again go back to the Travelodge she was staying at. Even though we got extremely drenched, it was all worth the time to see her drive off relaxed and much less worried. Another fuel drain in Lancashire done well in my opinion!

Do you or your employees often misfuel your car? We can fix any connected issues.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Lancashire we are identifying progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination when a person has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to a degree thanks to people not understanding the right way to use it (remember: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Now, what's the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Because the product is predominantly deionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Additionally, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

In case you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out at the earliest opportunity. And most definitely don't start the motor - not even to relocate it away from the pump. In the event that you have started the car you may likely need to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant issue to address in a car - especially in modern common-rail engines. Water in fuel tank will result in idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not taken care of properly, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain when compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to solve both circumstances fairly expediently.

Keep in mind that so long as the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to parking bay we will be able to access the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank in the back of your premises containing old, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few private and industrial premises in Lancashire for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even some containers in an outbuilding, as long as we can get to it, we can certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Over Kellet (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a comprehensive Lancashire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to fill up your car in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump price) and fill up your automobile. They can also handle the common issues that can go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.
