It was just after 5 pm on a Tuesday and though we were promised a dry and fresh night, it hadn't stopped raining!

In due time we had a phone call from a woman on a business excursion who had arrived at the Sainsburys petrol station in Accrington and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Skoda lease car by mistake. She was rather agitated it seemed, stating "I simply cannot believe I've messed up the vehicle! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol car I completely did not remember that I was using a diesel!"

Our Areas of Competency :

We are all set to take the wrong fuel job.

AdBlue Contamination

What to do in the event that you have poured Adblue into a Diesel fuel tank? AdBlue is a chemical that?s made out of a blend of high-purity deionized water (67.5%) and urea (32.5%).It tends to be disastrous to your automobile's fuel system, specifically if you run the engine with Adblue in your fuel tank. The moment the engine has been started up the Adblue will undoubtedly be squirted into the fuel lines and will swiftly begin to crystalise, triggering disastrous and expensive harm to your vehicle's fuel system.

If you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained right away. And absolutely take care not to crank the vehicle - not even to relocate it to a parking spot. In cases where you did start the vehicle you will in all likelihood have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly an important issue to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel can bring about idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not addressed correctly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove compared to water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to resolve both cases rather quickly.

Be aware however that if the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will likely be totally wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to a car or truck parking bay we should be able to reach the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

We have been called out to numerous private and industrial premises in Lancashire to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages.
