It was close to seven pm on a Saturday and while we were promised a dry night, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Dan and me were resting there talking over the weekend's tennis results, prepared for the sixth call of the day to arrive. Inevitably we received the phone call from a lovely women on a business excursion who had gone to the Shell filling garage in Blackburn and filled petrol in a diesel Porsche rental in error. The unfortunate lady was very distressed it seemed, telling me "I cannot believe I've ruined the car! I'm so used to putting petrol in my petrol car I completely did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I instructed her to relax and not to be concerned, also that things like this unfortunately happen. She managed to get the vehicle into a protected spot and, seeing as it was just a short distance from our van, we could arrive at the customer without delay. The bad fuel was removed so she was able to return to the hotel she was staying at. Although we got pretty drenched, it was all worth the time seeing her drive away calm and a lot less worried.

Our Areas of Experience :

Here is a list of the incorrect fuel services we offer.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Lancashire we have identified a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination where a driver has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent due to people being unsure of the way to use it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly near to one another on the automobile.

Well, what's the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? As the product is predominantly deionised water, it is actually just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water don't blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Moreover, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

In case you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained as quickly as possible. And most definitely be careful not to start up the vehicle - not even to move it off of the pump. Assuming you did start the vehicle you would probably have to have the entire fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important matter to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel tank can certainly bring about idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed effectively, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain when compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both situations quite easily.

Keep in mind that if ever the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the old one will undoubtedly be wholly wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or parked near to a car parking bay we should be able to reach the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've completed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank placed at the back of your premises with old, useless or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few private and commercial properties in Lancashire to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even a number of drums in a shed, provided that we are able to get to it, we are able to empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Blackburn (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a complete Lancashire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to fill up your car if you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at cost) and fill up your car or truck. They can also fix any of the usual troubles which can go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Blackburn - Blackburn Petrol in Diesel

I'd had a perfect day golfing during the weekend and felt pleased with myself the following working day as I was on the way to aid a new couple vacationing in Blackburn. They had broken down after adding diesel into their Volvo, and the car was roughly an hour away. I showed up at their car and smiled while I listened to the gal telling her husband off for actually being so silly. "Just how could you actually manage to fill the vehicle up by using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I attempted to clarify that this problem comes to pass on a regular basis in Lancashire and that it's absolutely nothing to be anxious about, but he still had an earful. I felt sorry for the boy. At any rate, I cleaned up and removed all of the contaminated fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled it up with the correct fuel. While watching them drive off I mouthed so long and considered what her indoors would say to me in the event that I made the very same mistake... I'd personally never ever live it down!
