AdBlue Contamination

In Greater Manchester we are noticing progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent caused by drivers not being aware of the right way to to make use of (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

Now, precisely what is the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Moreover, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out as soon as possible. And certainly do not turn over the vehicle - not even to shift it to a parking area. In the event that you have started the car you will in all probability have to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually a significant issue to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Water inside your petrol or diesel will often cause idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed effectively, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove as compared to water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to solve both cases quite swiftly.

Keep in mind though that if the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to a car parking spot we should be able to access the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel container lying in the back of your garden containing out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of domestic and industrial premises in Greater Manchester for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even some drums in an outbuilding, assuming that we can access it, we could certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Astley Green (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a full Greater Manchester Out of Fuel Service. We will help to re-fill the car if you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) and refill the car. They are also able to deal with the most common issues which might go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as flat batteries because of over-cranking.
