We can assist you with these mis-fuel mistakes.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Lancashire we have noticed more and more instances of AdBlue contamination when a driver has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to some extent as a result of motorists not knowing how to to make use of (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly near to each other on the automobile.

So, precisely what is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is actually just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Additionally, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

In the case you put AdBlue into a fuel tank drain it at the earliest opportunity. And absolutely take care not to turn over the motor - not even to move it into a parking place. In the event that you have started the car you would most likely need to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a serious issue to address in a car - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Having water inside your petrol or diesel can potentially trigger idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with effectively, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove in comparison with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both circumstances pretty quickly.

Keep in mind however that if ever the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the old one will likely be completely wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to a car or truck parking spot we should be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank sitting in the back of your premises full of unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several private and industrial premises in Lancashire to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even numerous drums in a storage shed, provided that we are able to get to it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Accrington (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a complete Lancashire Out of Fuel Service. We will come to fill up your vehicle in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump prices) to fill your car or truck. They will be able to handle any of the typical problems that might accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to start, as well as flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

A gentleman had stopped near a road in Accrington. His BMW engine had stopped running and he'd no idea what was awry until he noticed he put unleaded in his diesel car. He phoned us to request a fuel drain and that's when he said to us: "I cannot believe that I didn't know that I had put the incorrect fuel in my car." He said that he had got virtually no sleep the day before and that must have been why.
