It was just after 6 pm on a Thursday and while we were guaranteed a dry night, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Paul and I were sitting talking about the recent footy results, ready for the 8th job to arrive. In due time we received a call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had pulled into the Texaco petrol garage in Barnoldswick and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Toyota rental by mistake. The poor thing was pretty distressed by the sounds of it, stating "I cannot believe that I have messed up the car! I'm just so accustomed to filling my petrol car I had did not remember that I was running a diesel!" I just instructed her to take it easy and not to fret, also that things like this sadly do happen. She had managed to move the car into a safe position and, as it was just a few miles away from our van, we were able to arrive at the lady right away. The wrong fuel was removed so she could once again go back to the hotel she was staying at. Despite the fact we got very soaked, it was all rewarding seeing her drive off relaxed and a lot less worried. One more misfuel correction in Lancashire well done in my books!

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

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Lancashire we have seen progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination where a person has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is partially as a result of drivers not understanding the way to use it (remember: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right next to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what exactly is the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing that the product is mostly ionised water, it is actually like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Apart from this, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

If you find you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it asap. And most certainly take care not to crank the motor - not even to move it into a parking spot. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you may almost certainly need to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant issue to address in an automobile - especially in modern common-rail engines. Water in your petrol or diesel can certainly result in idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied fully, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can deal with both circumstances pretty simply.

Remember though that as long as the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will be completely water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you have the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked close to an automobile parking spot we are able to access the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've performed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got an old fuel container laying at the rear of the garden with unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several privately owned and industrial premises in Lancashire to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps a number of containers in a storage shed, as long as we can access it, we can certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Barnoldswick (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a comprehensive Lancashire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to refill your automobile if you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at cost) to fill up your automobile. They will be able to handle the usual troubles which might go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even dead batteries because of over-cranking.
