It was around 7 pm on a Monday and while we were promised a rainless evening, it hadn't given up on pouring! James and me were resting there talking over the weekend's golf, at the ready for the sixth fuel drain for the day to arrive. Inevitably we received the phone call from a lovely women on a business expedition who had pulled into the Texaco filling garage in Walmer Bridge and filled petrol in a diesel Toyota hire car. The poor lady was fairly distressed apparently, telling me "I still cannot believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle I completely didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" We asked her to calm down and not to be concerned, and also that things like this unfortunately often happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle to a protected spot and, because it was just a short distance away from us, we were able to reach her almost instantly. The bad fuel was removed so she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was staying in. Although we got very drenched, it was all worth it seeing her drive off contented and not so stressed. Yet another job in Lancashire well done in my opinion!

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Lancashire we are noticing a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination where an individual has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is in part thanks to motorists not understanding how to to make use of (important: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly next to each other on the vehicle.

So, exactly what is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is actually like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Apart from this, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Any time you find yourself in this position don?t fret or panic! Contact us, the UK?s Number one fuel contamination service. Our engineers have the technical know-how and working experience to get you back on your way swiftly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a significant issue to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Having water in your petrol or diesel will often bring about idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of fully, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to solve both circumstances very quickly.

Bear in mind though that any time the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will likely be totally water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we will be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir placed at the rear of your premises with out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several privately owned and commercial properties in Lancashire to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or even numerous containers in an outbuilding, assuming that we are able to reach it, we could certainly empty it.

We are able to come to re-fill your automobile in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at home.

Vehicle Misfuel Walmer Bridge - Walmer Bridge Petrol in Diesel

A gentleman called us from his house on a street in Walmer Bridge. He pronounced, "My vehicle (a Audi) is not starting up and is creating terrible sounds when I turn the key." He confessed that he put petrol in his diesel vehicle but then thought he would fix the issue by putting further Diesel on top. We showed up quickly, performed the drain and filled it up again with fresh Diesel. He told us after that he would be absolutely sure to explain to people not to fill up on top of the incorrect fuel but to get it drained immediately.
