It was around 8 pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't given up on pouring! Ray and I were resting talking about the sports results, ready for the 8th call to arrive. Before long we received the phone call from a lady on a company expedition who had pulled into the Shell petrol station in Woodsfold and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Dacia hire car. The unfortunate lady was very distressed it seemed, stating "I still can't believe I have ruined the car! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol car I had didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I just told her to calm down and not to worry, and that such things often happen. She was able to move the car to a secure spot and, seeing that it was no more than a few minutes away from the office, we were able to arrive at the lady without delay. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was lodging in.

Our Areas of Competence :

We are willing to take the wrong fuel work.

AdBlue Contamination

In Lancashire we are finding a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent caused by motorists not being totally sure the way to use it (important: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

So, what is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing as the product is primarily ionised water, it is as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Additionally, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out at the earliest opportunity. And most certainly never crank the car - not even to move it from the pump. If you did start the vehicle you may in all probability have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally an important situation to deal with in an automobile - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Having water in your petrol or diesel can certainly cause idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out effectively, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can take care of both situations rather quickly.

Remember though that as long as the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or secured close to a car parking bay we should be able to gain access to the tanks and remove the fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have a fuel tank sitting at the back of the garden with unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to numerous domestic and industrial properties in Lancashire to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or even some containers in an outbuilding, if we can reach it, we could certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Woodsfold (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a comprehensive Lancashire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to refill your vehicle in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) to fill your automobile. They are also able to take care of any of the most common problems which could go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
