A customer stopped on a street in Nelson needed a fuel drain roughly a few weeks back. His Land Rover was broken down on the road after he had filled up with the wrong fuel. He was calm when he contacted us but a little anxious to move his car from the road because he was causing some traffic. We were on scene within 15 minutes seeing that our technician was in neighbouring Nelson and had just completed a fuel drain. He said, "I just do not believe I put unleaded in my diesel car and got stuck ! My vehicle was coughing I simply were forced to pull over and after that it cut out."

Services We Offer:

Here is a list of the incorrect fuel services we deliver.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Lancashire we have discovered progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is partly caused by motorists not understanding the right way to work with it (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right close to one another on the car.

Now, exactly what is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Since the product is predominantly deionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Moreover, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you put AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it right away. And certainly don't switch on the vehicle - not even to maneuver it off the pump. If you have started the car you would probably have to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious situation to deal with in a motor vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel may bring about idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out effectively, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove when compared with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both cases fairly simply.

Take note though that whenever the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the old one will probably be totally water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. So long as the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to an automobile parking bay we are able to reach the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We've done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank placed in the rear of the garden with unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of privately owned and business premises in Lancashire for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even several drums in a garage, provided that we are able to get to it, we can drain it.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Nelson (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a complete Lancashire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to re-fill the car any time you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at pump price) to refill your car. They are also able to handle the normal troubles which can come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or maybe dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Nelson - Nelson Vehicle Misfuel

I'd had a great afternoon fishing during my off day and was feeling cheerful the following morning as I set off to help a new family who were away in Nelson. They had broken down after putting petrol into their Toyota, and they were around an hour away. I emerged at their car and smiled to myself as I heard to the lady telling her man off for actually being so silly. "How could you actually find a way to fill the car up with the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I tried to tell her that this kind of thing occurs on a regular basis in Lancashire and that it's nothing to get worried about, even so he yet still got an earful. Unlucky lad. Anyhow, I removed the contaminated fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave it some correct fuel. As they drove away I waved bon voyage and thought about what her indoors would tell me if ever I made the very same error... I'd never ever hear the end of it!
