AdBlue Contamination

All over Lancashire we have noticed a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly a result of people being unsure of the way to use it (take note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right next to one another on the vehicle.

So, what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing that the product is mostly deionised water, it is as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Apart from this, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out at once. And definitely take care not to crank the car - not even to shift it away from the pump. In the event that you did start the car you may very likely have to have the entire fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is without question a serious matter to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water in the diesel or petrol may produce idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied fully, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can handle both cases quite quickly.

You should know though that so long as the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the old one will undoubtedly be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you have the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to parking spot we can reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have a fuel tank placed in the rear of the garden containing old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and business properties in Lancashire to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps a few containers in an outbuilding, provided that we are able to get to it, we could certainly drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Accrington (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a full Lancashire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to re-fill the car any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at cost) and fill up your vehicle. They will be able to handle any of the most common issues that can come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or maybe dead batteries caused by over-cranking.
