It was just after ten pm on a Wednesday and though we were assured a dry night, it hadn't ceased raining! Paul and I were resting going over the sports rankings, waiting around for the sixth job that day to arrive. Finally we received the call from a girl on a company expedition who had arrived at the BP filling station in Waterfoot and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Hyundai rental in error. The unfortunate thing was fairly irritated by the sounds of it, telling me "I still can't believe that I have ruined the car! I'm just so familiar with filling my petrol car I had didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" I just instructed her to take it easy and not to fret, and also that things like this sadly often happen. She had managed to move the car to a safe spot and, seeing that it was no more than a few miles from our van, we were able to reach the customer swiftly. The bad fuel was drained so she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got fairly wet, it was all worth the time to watch her drive away satisfied and much less apprehensive. Yet another fuel drain in Lancashire well done in my mind!

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Lancashire we are identifying an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially due to motorists not knowing the right way to work with it (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly next to each other on the car.

So, what is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Because AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

If you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it asap. And definitely don't start the car - not even to move it into a parking bay. In the event that you have started the car you will likely need to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is definitely a significant condition to handle in a car - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel is going to bring about idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed properly, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain as compared to water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to handle both situations very simply.

You should know that whenever the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will likely be completely water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to a car parking spot we should be able to access the storage and remove the fuel. We have done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have a fuel tank sitting in the back of the garden full of aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and business properties in Lancashire for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or possibly even some containers in a shed, assuming that we can access it, we are able to drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Waterfoot (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a comprehensive Lancashire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to refill the car in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at pump prices) and fill up your automobile.
