We can assist you with all these mis-fuel problems.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Lancashire we have encountered more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is partially as a consequence of people being unsure of how to work with it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and partly because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly next to one another on the automobile.

Well, what's the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Apart from this, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you put AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it immediately. And certainly don't turn over the vehicle - not even to move it into a parking place. In the event that you have started the car you would probably have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant issue to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Water in your fuel may produce idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed properly, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain as compared with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to take care of both circumstances fairly expediently.

Keep in mind though that as long as the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one is going to be totally water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we are able to gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We've performed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

We've been called out to a number of private and business premises in Lancashire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages.

Petrol in Diesel Clitheroe - Clitheroe Wrong Fuel

I appreciated a wonderful day fishing during the weekend and was feeling cheerful with myself the next day as I was en route to assist a young family away in Clitheroe. They stopped after adding diesel into their Hyundai, and they were around an hour away. I arrived at their car and smirked while I heard to the wife telling off her husband for being so confused. "Precisely how could you actually be able to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I wanted to tell her that this problem comes to pass everyday in Lancashire and that it's nothing to be concerned about, however he in spite of everything had an earful by his wife. I felt genuine sympathy for the boy. Anyways, I drained the polluted fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled it up with the appropriate fuel. Watching them drive away I shouted good-bye and thought about what her indoors would tell me in the event that I made the very same blunder... I'd never ever hear the end of it!
