It was just before 6 pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Dan and I were sitting discussing the recent rugby results, waiting around for the 6th call of the day to arrive. Eventually we had the call from a young lady on a business expedition who had pulled into the BP petrol garage in Sedbergh and put petrol in a diesel Skoda rental car. She was quite troubled apparently, stating "I still cannot believe I have ruined the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I had forgot I was driving a diesel!" I told her to relax and not to worry, and that things like this often happen. She was able to relocate the car to a protected space and, seeing as it was just a few miles from us, we were able to reach the lady almost instantly. The incorrect fuel was removed and she could return to the hotel she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got very drenched, it was all worth it to see her drive off satisfied and not so stressed. Yet another job in Cumbria well done in my opinion!

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Cumbria we are encountering a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree a result of people not understanding the way to to make use of (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right near to each other on the automobile.

Well, precisely what is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Because the product is predominantly deionised water, it is as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Additionally, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it as soon as possible. And most certainly don't start up the car - not even to maneuver it from the pump. In the event that you have started the vehicle you would in all probability have to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant matter to deal with in a vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel tank is likely to lead to idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with fully, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain as compared to water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can take care of both cases rather quickly.

Remember though that so long as the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one will probably be completely wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to parking bay we can access the tanks and drain out the fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel container laying in the back of the garden full of unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of private and business properties in Cumbria for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps numerous containers in a shed, if we are able to reach it, we are able to empty it.

Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Sedbergh (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a complete Cumbria Out of Fuel Service. We will help to fill up your car in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at pump prices) to fill up your vehicle. They can also fix the most common problems that might go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Sedbergh - Sedbergh Fuel Drain

A man called us from his place on a road in Sedbergh. He pronounced, "My car (a Mercedes) is not starting up and is creating awful noises when I turn the ignition." He said that he put unleaded in his diesel car but then thought he would solve the problem by putting more Diesel on top. We arrived quickly, did the drain and filled him up once more with fresh Diesel. He told us after that he would be certain to explain to people not to fill up on top of the incorrect fuel but to have it drained right away.
