It was close to 8 pm on a Saturday and although we were guaranteed a dry and fresh evening, it had not ceased pouring down rain! Paul and me were relaxing there discussing the weekend's tennis rankings, at the ready for the 8th fuel drain of the day to arrive. Inevitably we had a phone call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had pulled into the BP petrol garage in Preesall and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel SEAT rental car. The poor lady was rather troubled it seemed, saying "I still cannot believe that I have destroyed the car! I'm just so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I completely didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I advised her to calm down and not to worry, and also that things like this happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle to a protected spot and, as it was no more than a few miles away from us, we could get to the lady rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was removed and she could go home to the motel she was staying in. Despite the fact we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive away relaxed and much less anxious. A fuel drain in Lancashire done well in my books!

Do you or your drivers often misfuel your vehicle? We can resolve any related issues.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Lancashire we are discovering a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly stemming from motorists not understanding the way to to make use of (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually right close to one another on the automobile.

So, precisely what is the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Since AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Additionally, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

If you find you put AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it asap. And most definitely never start up the vehicle - not even to move it to a parking place. In the event that you have started the vehicle you will probably have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, tends to be a significant matter to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol will produce idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied correctly, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain when compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both circumstances pretty quickly.

Bear in mind though that any time the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the previous one will probably be wholly wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. So long as the boat is either on land, or moored near to a vehicle parking bay we are able to access the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've performed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Got an old fuel reservoir laying in the back of your garden with old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous private and industrial premises in Lancashire to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or even some containers in a storage shed, providing we can reach it, we are able to drain it.

Petrol in Diesel Preesall - Preesall Wrong Fuel Assist

A gentleman phoned us from his residence on a road in Preesall. He pronounced, "My vehicle (a Mitsubishi) is not running and is generating awful sounds when I flip the ignition." He said that he put unleaded in his diesel vehicle but then reckoned he would solve the issue by putting extra Diesel on top. We showed up quickly, did the fuel drain and filled him up once again with fresh Diesel. He told us after that he would be sure to explain to people not to fill up in addition to the wrong fuel but to get it drained right away.
