Here is a list of the wrong fuel services we offer.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Greater Manchester we have discovered more and more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent due to motorists not being totally sure the right way to to make use of (note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right next to one another on the automobile.

So, what's the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Since the product is mostly ionised water, it's as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Additionally, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

In the case you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it as soon as possible. And obviously take care not to start the vehicle - not even to relocate it into a parking area. Assuming you did start the car you would almost certainly have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is actually a significant issue to deal with in an automobile - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Putting water inside your fuel tank will often bring about idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of correctly, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both situations very swiftly.

Take note though that so long as the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one will be totally water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we can gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have a fuel container sitting at the rear of your premises containing out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and industrial premises in Greater Manchester to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even some containers in a garage, if we are able to get to it, we can drain it.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Altrincham - Altrincham Wrong Fuel Drain

A customer rang us from his house on a road in Altrincham. He explained, "My car (a Dacia) is not running and is producing awful noises when I flip the ignition." He confessed that he had put unleaded in his diesel car but then reckoned he would remedy the problem by putting more Diesel on top. We got there quickly, did the fuel drain and filled it up again with untainted Diesel. He told us he would be sure to educate people not to fill up over the incorrect fuel but to have it cleaned out right away.
