It was after 5 pm on a Wednesday and though we were assured a rainless afternoon, it hadn't given up on raining! Dan and I were sitting there discussing the weekend's football results, at the ready for the 8th call for the day to come in. Eventually we received the call from a woman on a company trip who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling garage in Kirkby Lonsdale and filled petrol in her diesel Nissan lease car by mistake. She was fairly agitated by the sounds of it, crying "I cannot believe that I've ruined the car! I'm just so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember that I was using a diesel!" We told her to calm down and not to be concerned, and also that these things regrettably often happen. She was able to maneuver the car into a protected area and, because it was just a short distance from us, we were able to get to her swiftly. The wrong fuel was removed and she could get back to the Premier Inn she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got really soaked, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive home relaxed and a lot less anxious. A job in Cumbria well done in my mind!

AdBlue Contamination

All around Cumbria we are finding increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination when somebody has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent caused by drivers not being totally sure the way to work with it (note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly close to each other on the vehicle.

So, exactly what is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing that AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it's almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Furthermore, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Any time you end up in this position do not panic! Contact us, the UK?s Number one fuel contamination service. Our engineers possess the specialised knowledge and working experience to get you back on your way promptly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly a significant matter to take care of in a motor vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water inside your diesel or petrol may contribute to idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed effectively, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain as compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both situations quite simply.

You should know however that in the event that the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the old one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to an automobile parking bay we should be able to gain access to the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have carried out quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel tank lying in the back of your premises with old, useless or degraded fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of privately owned and industrial premises in Cumbria to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or possibly even some containers in a garage, provided that we are able to access it, we are able to drain it.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Kirkby Lonsdale (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a comprehensive Cumbria Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to re-fill your vehicle any time you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) to refill your car. They can also handle any of the normal issues which can come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Kirkby Lonsdale - Kirkby Lonsdale Wrong Fuel

Last friday a young man called us because his Renault stopped working in the middle of a road in Kirkby Lonsdale.

It was still in the early hours of the morning and our engineer, who lives close by, got to him in less than 20 minutes. We managed to take out the incorrect fuel and put clean diesel once again into the vehicle. "Sincere thanks to you for your prompt response, especially at 5 a.m., I genuinely am grateful for it."
