It was just after 8 pm on a Thursday and though we were guaranteed a dry day, it hadn't ceased raining! Paul and I were sitting there talking about the weekend's tennis rankings, at the ready for the 8th call of the day to arrive. Inevitably we got the call from a young lady on a business expedition who had arrived at the Tesco filling station in Longtown and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Smart rental in error. The unfortunate lady was fairly affected by the sounds of it, crying "I cannot believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot that I was operating a diesel!" I asked her to calm down and not to be concerned, also that such things regrettably do happen. She had managed to relocate the car to a protected space and, since it was just a few miles away from our van, we could arrive at her right away. The wrong fuel was taken out and she could go home to the Travelodge she was residing in. Although we got thoroughly wet, it was all rewarding to see her drive home relaxed and less worried.

Offered Services:

Here's a list of the wrong fuel services we provide.

AdBlue Contamination

How to proceed in the event that you have poured Adblue in a Diesel tank? AdBlue is a liquid made out of a mix of high-purity urea and deionized water (67.5%).Adblue tends to be disastrous to your vehicle's fuel system, particularly in cases where you started the car with Adblue in your diesel tank. Whenever the engine has been started up the Adblue will be dragged into your fuel lines and will rapidly begin to crystalise, bringing about serious and expensive damage to your car's fuel system.

Whenever you get in this scenario do not fret or panic! Call us, the UK?s Best fuel contamination company. Our engineers have the practical know-how and experience to get you back on your way quickly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious matter to deal with in a vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your petrol or diesel may cause idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of correctly, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove compared to water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both situations fairly expediently.

You should know however that so long as the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will undoubtedly be totally wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to a car parking spot we should be able to access the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container laying in the back of your premises containing unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of domestic and business premises in Cumbria for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or even a few drums in a shed, if we can access it, we could certainly empty it.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Longtown (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a comprehensive Cumbria Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to refill your vehicle if you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at cost) and fill up your car. They will take care of any of the common issues which may go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even dead batteries because of over-cranking.
