Local Call-Out and Roadside Wrong Fuel Repair in Blackburn

If you've put petrol in your diesel car in Blackburn (petrol in diesel Blackburn) we are the guys you need to get in touch with. We cover the whole of the Blackburn vicinity and all adjoining counties.

It was before seven pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry day, it had not stopped raining! Ray and me were relaxing there going over the recent footy results, waiting around for the next fuel drain that day to arrive. Eventually we received the phone call from a girl on a business expedition who had pulled into the BP filling station in Blackburn and filled petrol in a diesel Citroen hire car in error. She was rather troubled it seemed, crying "I still can't believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to filling my petrol car I totally forgot I was driving a diesel!" I advised her to relax and not to be concerned, plus that things like this happen. She was able to move the car to a safe area and, seeing that it was just a few minutes off from our van, we could find the customer fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could go home to the Premier Inn she was lodging at. Although we got really wet, it was all worth the time to watch her drive off calm and a lot less stressed. A misfuel correction in Lancashire done well in my mind!

We are ready to take the wrong fuel work.

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Lancashire we are encountering increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination when somebody has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is partly as a consequence of drivers not being totally sure the right way to work with it (note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually right next to one another on the automobile.

Well, what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing that AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it's like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition to this, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it as quickly as possible. And of course do not start up the car - not even to shift it off of the pump. If you have started the car you would in all probability need to have the full fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is without question an important condition to handle in a car - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Water in your fuel tank can certainly trigger idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out correctly, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can handle both cases fairly quickly.

You should know that whenever the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or secured near to a car or truck parking bay we are able to gain access to the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel container lying in the rear of your garden with out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several private and business premises in Lancashire to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a number of containers in a storage shed, if we can access it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Blackburn (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a full Lancashire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to refill your automobile in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) and fill up your automobile. They are also able to take care of any of the common troubles which might accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or even flat batteries because of over-cranking.

A couple weeks ago a customer phoned us after his Citroen stopped on a road in Blackburn. He had by mistake put the wrong fuel in the diesel car and got so far as the road before having to pull over. It was actually early in the morning and our technician, who lives locally, arrived with him in about 10 minutes. We managed to drain the incorrect fuel and put fresh diesel back in the vehicle.
