It was about 5 pm on a Friday and though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it hadn't stopped raining! Mark and me were relaxing there talking about the recent footy rankings, waiting for the 6th job of the day to arrive. Inevitably we had the call from a lady on a business excursion who had arrived at the Tesco petrol station in Accrington and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Nissan rental by mistake. She was somewhat irritated by the sounds of it, stating "I still can't believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I am so used to filling up my petrol car that I completely didn't remember I was running a diesel!" I asked her to settle back and not to worry, plus that things like this can happen. She was able to get the vehicle into a secure space and, as it was just a short distance off from us, we were able to reach the woman fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was living in. Although we got thoroughly drenched, it was all rewarding seeing her drive away satisfied and much less worried. Another fuel drain in Lancashire done well in my books!

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Lancashire we are identifying increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly as a consequence of people not being aware of how to use it (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly close to one another on the automobile.

Now, what exactly is the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Since the product is mostly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Furthermore, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

In the event that you find yourself in this situation don?t panic! Call us, the UK?s Best fuel contamination service. Our experts have the specialised expertise and experience to get you back on the road quickly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, can be an important issue to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Water in your diesel or petrol can potentially trigger idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with properly, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both cases pretty expediently.

Take note that in the event that the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to parking spot we should be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel tank at the back of your garden containing unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of privately owned and industrial properties in Lancashire to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even a few containers in a garage, as long as we can get to it, we can certainly empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Accrington (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a comprehensive Lancashire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can help to refill your automobile in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at cost) and refill your automobile. They are also able to deal with any of the normal issues that could go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Accrington - Accrington Wrong Fuel Doctor

It was in the early hours of the day and our technician, who stays locally, was with him in approximately 20 minutes. We were able to take out the wrong fuel and put fresh diesel yet again in to the vehicle. "Thank you for your fast response, particularly at 5 a.m., I genuinely am grateful for it."
