It was close to 9 pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry day, it had not stopped raining! Brian and I were sitting talking about the tennis results, at the ready for the sixth fuel drain that day to arrive. Before long we got the phone call from a young lady on a company trip who had pulled into the Shell petrol station in Silverdale Green and put the wrong fuel in her diesel SEAT lease car by mistake. The poor thing was very distressed by the sounds of it, stating "I just can't believe I've wrecked the car! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I completely forgot I was running a diesel!" We asked her to take it easy and not to worry, plus that these things unfortunately often happen. She was able to get the car into a safe position and, seeing as it was no more than a few miles off from where we were, we were able to arrive at the customer right away. The contaminated fuel was extracted so she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was living at. Despite the fact we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth it seeing her drive off contented and a lot less concerned. Yet another job in Lancashire well done in my mind!

Our Areas of Expertise: Services We Offer:

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

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Lancashire we have encountered progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination where a driver has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to some extent as a result of motorists not being aware of how to to make use of (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly near to each other on the car.

So, precisely what is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel car? As AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it's as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Furthermore, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

Contact us if it turns out you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can handle different types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is definitely a significant matter to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water in your petrol or diesel can potentially bring about idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out effectively, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove than water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can handle both circumstances very expediently.

You should know though that so long as the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will undoubtedly be wholly wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to an automobile parking spot we are able to access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel reservoir lying in the back of the garden full of old, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several private and business premises in Lancashire to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps some drums in a storage shed, if we can reach it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Silverdale Green (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a comprehensive Lancashire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can come to fill up your automobile in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at pump prices) and fill up your car. They will handle any of the normal troubles which could accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or even dead batteries due to over-cranking.
