It was just after 7 pm on a Wednesday and although we were promised a rainless afternoon, it hadn't given up on raining! James and I were relaxing commenting on the weekend's footy rankings, waiting for the 6th fuel drain for the day to come in. Eventually we got a call from a young lady on a company excursion who had arrived at the Esso petrol station in Atherton and filled petrol in a diesel Jaguar rental car by mistake. She was rather distressed apparently, telling me "I still can't believe I've ruined the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" We told her to take it easy and not to be concerned, plus that these things regrettably do happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle to a secure space and, seeing that it was no more than a short distance away from where we were, we were able to arrive at her rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was drained so she could return to the motel she was staying at. Although we got extremely soaked, it was all rewarding to watch her drive away satisfied and much less stressed. Another misfuel correction in Greater Manchester done well in my opinion!

AdBlue Contamination
What you can do if you may have poured Adblue in a Diesel tank? It is actually damaging to your vehicle's fuel system, particularly any time you started the car with Adblue in your diesel fuel tank. The moment the engine has been started up the Adblue will undoubtedly be dragged into your fuel lines and will swiftly start to crystalise, triggering serious and costly harm to your vehicle's fuel system.
Should you get in this situation do not fret or panic! Call us, the UK?s Best fuel contamination service. Our engineers possess the practical knowledge and working experience to get you back on the road quickly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.
Fuel contaminated with water
Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a significant situation to handle in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel tank is going to bring about idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied correctly, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to handle both situations fairly simply.
Keep in mind that so long as the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one will probably be completely wet and ineffective.
Marine Fuel Drains
If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we are able to access the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}
Management of Waste Fuel
Got a fuel reservoir laying in the rear of your premises containing unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and industrial premises in Greater Manchester for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even several drums in a storage shed, assuming that we can reach it, we can drain it for you.
Re-Fueling Service
Run out of fuel in Atherton (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a full Greater Manchester Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to refill your car any time you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at cost) and fill up your car or truck. They can also fix the usual issues which may go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
Petrol in Diesel Atherton - Atherton Wrong Fuel Doctor
Last monday a driver phoned us right after his Ford ground to a halt on a road in Atherton. He had inadvertently put the incorrect fuel in the diesel motor and was only able to drive as far as the road before being forced to give up. It was yet in the early hours of the morning and our technical engineer, who lives close by, reached him in less than a quarter hour. We were able to remove the wrong fuel and put fresh diesel once again in to the car. "Many thanks to you for your immediate response, and in particular at 3 a.m., I really appreciate it."

Wrong Fuel Assist Atherton - Atherton Wrong Fuel
A young lady from Atherton with her kids in her diesel Fiat had put £50 of petrol at the BP filling station. She phoned us crying and genuinely upset as she had never put petrol in a diesel previously and didn't know what might happen to her car in doing so. We reassured her that the vehicle would be okay and that she would be up and running quickly. When we got there she was still distressed but while our technician started work on the fuel drain she calmed down as she saw that help was at hand and her car wasn't unfixable. She soon brightened up and was on the road again saying, "I simply can't believe my misfortune putting petrol in my diesel vehicle! Especially with the kids in the back."
