It was just before 10 pm on a Tuesday and even though we were promised a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Brian and me were relaxing there talking about the recent golf, waiting for the sixth telephone call to arrive. In due time we had the call from a lady on a company excursion who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol garage in Barnoldswick and put petrol in a diesel Vauxhall hire car. She was somewhat affected by the sounds of it, saying "I still cannot believe I've messed up the car! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol car I had did not remember that I was running a diesel!" We told her to settle back and not to fret, and also that these things sadly often happen. She was able to get the car into a safe spot and, as it was just a short distance off from where we were, we could reach the customer without delay. The incorrect fuel was removed so she was able to get back to the motel she was living at. Although we got very drenched, it was all worth it seeing her drive off contented and not so stressed. Yet another misfuel correction in Lancashire done well in my opinion!

AdBlue In Diesel

In Lancashire we have encountered an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree as a consequence of people being unsure of the way to to make use of (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly close to one another on the vehicle.

Now, exactly what is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Since AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is actually like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

Give us a call if it turns out you are suffering from AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can fix different types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, can be a serious matter to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank can lead to idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of correctly, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove as compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both cases pretty easily.

You should know however that whenever the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one will be wholly wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to a car or truck parking spot we can access the storage and drain out the fuel. We've done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel reservoir in the rear of your garden containing old, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of privately owned and commercial properties in Lancashire to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or possibly even numerous drums in a storage shed, as long as we can get to it, we are able to drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Barnoldswick (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a full Lancashire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to fill up your automobile in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at pump prices) to fill up your automobile. They are also able to take care of any of the most common problems which may accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to start, and even dead batteries because of over-cranking.
