We can assist you with these mis-fuel problems.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Lancashire we are noticing more and more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is partially as a consequence of people not being totally sure how to use it (be aware: it's actually not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly close to one another on the car.

So, what's the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water don't blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Furthermore, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

If in case you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it immediately. And most certainly don't start up the vehicle - not even to shift it off the pump. In case you did start the vehicle you would very likely need to have the whole fuel system purged and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded or diesel, can be an important issue to take care of in an automobile - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Having water inside your petrol or diesel will often bring about idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not remedied fully, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain compared to water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can take care of both circumstances fairly easily.

Take note though that whenever the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the old one will be wholly wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. As long as the boat is either on land, or parked close to a motor vehicle parking spot we can reach the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We've done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel reservoir placed in the back of the garden containing old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to numerous private and commercial premises in Lancashire to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or even a few drums in a shed, providing we are able to get to it, we could certainly empty it.

Wrong Fuel Drain Clitheroe - Clitheroe Vehicle Misfuel

I'd had a perfect evening hiking on the weekend and felt delighted with myself the following morning as I was en route to help a new couple on vacation in Clitheroe. They had conked out after inserting diesel into their Toyota, and the car was close to an hour away. I emerged at their position and smirked as I listened to the wife chastising her man for actually being so confused. "How could you conceivably find a way to fill the car up using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I wanted to explain that this kind of thing takes place on daily basis in Lancashire and that it's actually absolutely nothing to fret about, and yet he in spite of everything had an ear bashing. Poor chap. Anyways, I drained the wrong fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave it some proper fuel. Watching while they drove down the road I waved good bye and thought about what my missus would say to me if ever I did the very same thing... I'd under no circumstances hear the end of it!
