It was around 7 pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry and fresh night, it hadn't stopped pouring! Paul and I were seated there discussing the weekend's golf, at the ready for the sixth job that day to arrive. In due time we received a call from a young lady on a company expedition who had arrived at the BP petrol garage in Barnoldswick and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Lexus hire car. She was rather distressed apparently, telling me "I can not believe that I've ruined the car! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I instructed her to take it easy and not to worry, plus that such things regrettably can happen. She managed to get the car into a protected area and, seeing as it was only a few miles from where we were, we could find the lady right away. The wrong fuel was extracted so she could get back to the hotel she was staying at. Even though we got pretty wet, it was all worth the time seeing her drive off calm and not so concerned. A misfuel correction in Lancashire done well in my opinion!

Helping you get back on the road is our main goal.

AdBlue Contamination

What to do in case you may have poured Adblue in a Diesel fuel tank? Adblue can be harmful to your car's fuel system, specifically any time you run the engine with Adblue in your tank. Whenever the engine has been started the Adblue will likely be pushed into the fuel lines and will immediately begin to crystalise, bringing about devastating and expensive harm to your vehicle's fuel system.

If you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it asap. And most certainly be careful not to switch on the car - not even to relocate it to a parking spot. In the event that 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

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is definitely an important situation to deal with in a motor vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water in petrol or diesel may trigger idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of effectively, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove as compared to water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to take care of both situations quite quickly.

Remember however that any time the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will likely be completely water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel tank sitting at the back of your garden full of unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many privately owned and industrial premises in Lancashire to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps some drums in an outbuilding, provided that we can get to it, we are able to drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Barnoldswick (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a full Lancashire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to re-fill your car in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump prices) and refill your car or truck. They will fix the typical problems which could go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Barnoldswick - Barnoldswick Wrong Fuel

A person called us from his residence on a street in Barnoldswick. He pronounced, "My car (a Honda) is not starting up and is creating awful sounds when I flip the ignition." He admitted that he had put petrol in his diesel vehicle but then believed he would fix the problem by putting additional Diesel on top. We got there quickly, performed the fuel drain and filled him up once more with untainted Diesel. He said he would be absolutely sure to explain to people not to fill up in addition to the wrong fuel but to have it cleaned out immediately.
