It was just after ten pm on a Tuesday and while we were guaranteed a rainless night, it had not stopped pouring! Mark and me were resting there commenting on the weekend's footy results, waiting for the next telephone call of the day to come in. In due time we had the call from a woman on a company expedition who had gone to the Sainsburys filling station in Preesall and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Citroen lease car by mistake. She was somewhat troubled by the sounds of it, telling me "I simply cannot believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I am so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" We instructed her to calm down and not to be concerned, also that these things happen. She had managed to get the vehicle to a safe position and, seeing that it was no more than a few minutes away from the office, we were able to arrive at the customer swiftly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could return to the motel she was living in. Even though we got extremely soaked, it was all rewarding seeing her drive home contented and not so stressed. A job in Lancashire done well in my opinion!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Lancashire we are noticing progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is partially due to drivers not understanding how to work with it (please note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right next to each other on the car.

So, precisely what is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Since the product is mainly ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Moreover, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

Contact us if it turns out you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can take care of every type of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, can be an important condition to take care of in a motor vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Having water in fuel will likely produce idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed effectively, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both cases fairly easily.

Bear in mind that as long as the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will likely be wholly wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to a car parking bay we can reach the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We have carried out numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir at the rear of your garden with unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many domestic and industrial premises in Lancashire to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or even some drums in a shed, providing we are able to reach it, we can empty it for you.

A customer called us from his house on a close in Preesall. He pronounced, "My car (a Vauxhall) is not starting and is generating awful noises when I turn the key."
