It was close to 9 pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it had not stopped raining! James and I were seated there going over the golf rankings, at the ready for the sixth call for the day to arrive. Finally we got a phone call from a woman on a business expedition who had gone to the BP filling garage in Accrington and filled petrol in a diesel BMW hire car. She was rather affected apparently, crying "I simply can't believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I am so used to putting petrol in my petrol car I completely forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I just asked her to relax and not to fret, and that things like this do happen. She had managed to relocate the car to a secure area and, seeing as it was only a few minutes from the office, we could arrive at the lady swiftly. The bad fuel was removed so she could once again go back to the Travelodge she was living at. Even though we got pretty drenched, it was all rewarding seeing her drive home satisfied and much less anxious. One more job in Lancashire well done in my opinion!

Below are our top services we deliver to our clients.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Lancashire we are finding a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partially caused by motorists not knowing the way to use it (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly close to each other on the vehicle.

Well, exactly what is the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing as the product is mainly ionised water, it is like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Apart from this, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

Whenever you end up in this situation do not panic! Contact us, the UK?s Number 1 fuel contamination business. Our engineers have got the practical know-how and working experience to have you back on the road quickly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is generally an important condition to address in a motor vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines. Water in fuel may well bring about idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not dealt with fully, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both cases rather quickly.

You should know however that so long as the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the previous one will probably be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we will be able to access the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We have carried out numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel reservoir at the rear of your garden containing out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of private and business premises in Lancashire to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps several containers in a shed, providing we can reach it, we can certainly drain it.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Accrington (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a comprehensive Lancashire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to fill up your car if you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump price) to refill the car. They will be able to fix the typical issues which might go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, as well as dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Accrington - Accrington Fuel Rescue

The other day a gentleman phoned us soon after his Volkswagen stopped on a street in Accrington. He had inadvertently put petrol in the diesel vehicle and was only able to get to the road before being forced to pull up. It was actually in the early hours of the morning and our technician, who lives close by, arrived with him in approximately twenty minutes. We managed to take out the wrong fuel and put fresh diesel once again into the vehicle. "Thank you for your immediate response, and in particular at 4 a.m., I really am grateful for it."
