It was close to five pm on a Friday and although we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it hadn't stopped raining! Ryan and I were resting there discussing the sports rankings, waiting for the sixth call of the day to come in. Eventually we got a call from a young lady on a business excursion who had gone to the Shell petrol garage in Lytham St Annes and filled petrol in a diesel Suzuki hire car in error. She was pretty troubled by the sounds of it, stating "I cannot believe I have messed up the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I had didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" We told her to relax and not to be concerned, also that these things happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle into a protected area and, because it was only a few minutes away from us, we could find the lady swiftly. The wrong fuel was removed and she could get back to the hotel she was lodging in. Although we got extremely drenched, it was all worthwhile to see her drive away contented and much less worried. Another fuel drain in Lancashire done well in my mind!

Services Our Company Offers:

These are the fuel mistakes services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Lancashire we have encountered progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination where an individual has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly as a result of people not being aware of the right way to to make use of (please note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right next to each other on the automobile.

So, what is the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? As AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it's as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Also, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

If you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And absolutely be careful not to turn over the motor - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. In case you have started the car you may in all likelihood need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, can be a serious condition to address in a vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Water in your petrol or diesel may well result in idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed fully, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both circumstances quite expediently.

Keep in mind however that as long as the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to a vehicle parking spot we will be able to access the storage and drain out the fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel tank in the rear of your garden with aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of privately owned and industrial properties in Lancashire to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or even several containers in an outbuilding, as long as we can access it, we could certainly drain it.

Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Lytham St Annes (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a full Lancashire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to re-fill your vehicle in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) and fill your car or truck. They will take care of any of the normal troubles that can go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe flat batteries because of over-cranking.
