It was just before six pm on a Monday and though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it hadn't stopped pouring! Brian and me were relaxing there commenting on the weekend's golf rankings, waiting around for the next fuel drain for the day to arrive. Finally we had the call from a young lady on a business excursion who had pulled into the Tesco petrol station in Wiswell and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Porsche rental car in error. The unfortunate lady was fairly affected it seemed, telling me "I simply can't believe that I have destroyed the car! I'm just so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot I was driving a diesel!" I just instructed her to relax and not to fret, and that things like this regrettably often happen. She managed to maneuver the car into a secure area and, because it was just a few miles from our van, we were able to find the lady rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was taken out so she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was residing in. Despite the fact that we got fairly wet, it was all worth the effort to see her drive off contented and much less worried. A fuel drain in Lancashire done well in my mind!

Below are our top services we offer to our customers.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Lancashire we are discovering more and more cases of AdBlue contamination when a person has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially thanks to drivers not knowing how to use it (take note: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right close to one another on the vehicle.

So, what is the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Since the product is mainly ionised water, it is actually like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Moreover, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

Give us a call in the event that you are suffering with AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will take care of all kinds of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is petrol or diesel, is certainly a significant issue to deal with in a vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Having water in the diesel or petrol can potentially produce idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed correctly, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out as compared to water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can handle both circumstances rather expediently.

Remember however that if ever the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will likely be totally water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to an automobile parking spot we will be able to gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}
