It was just after 7 pm on a Thursday and even though we were guaranteed a dry evening, it hadn't given up on raining! James and me were sitting talking about the weekend's sports, at the ready for the sixth job for the day to arrive. Inevitably we had a phone call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had gone to the Sainsburys filling station in Carlisle and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Hyundai lease car in error. The poor thing was somewhat troubled it seemed, saying "I cannot believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I am just so used to filling my petrol car I completely did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I instructed her to settle back and not to be concerned, and that things like this regrettably do happen. She had managed to get the vehicle into a safe area and, since it was only a short distance off from the office, we were able to reach the woman rather quickly. The bad fuel was extracted so she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was residing at. Although we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive away calm and not so apprehensive. Yet another job in Cumbria well done in my mind!

Do you or your drivers frequently misfuel your vehicle? We can resolve any associated issues.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Cumbria we have discovered progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where an individual has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent as a consequence of motorists not knowing how to to make use of (important: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly close to each other on the automobile.

Now, what is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? As the product is mainly ionised water, it's like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

Call us if you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and have the ability to attend to different types of AdBlue contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious situation to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water in your petrol or diesel will likely result in idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed correctly, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to clean out than water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can handle both cases quite quickly.

Remember though that whenever the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will undoubtedly be completely wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to a vehicle parking bay we will be able to gain access to the storage and drain out the fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel reservoir sitting at the rear of your garden containing old, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous domestic and commercial properties in Cumbria to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a number of drums in a shed, as long as we are able to reach it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Carlisle (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a full Cumbria Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to re-fill your car in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at pump price) to refill your car. They will deal with the typical issues that might go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Carlisle - Carlisle Petrol in Diesel

A man had conked out just near a street in Carlisle. His Porsche engine had stopped working and he'd no clue what was awry right up until he realised he had put unleaded in his diesel car. He phoned us to get a fuel drain and that is when he said to us: "I cannot believe that I didn't detect that I had put the incorrect fuel in my car." He stated that he had got no sleep the evening before and that could have been precisely why.
