Petrol in your diesel car in Brownlow Fold? You've come to the right place. We are here to aid you in this emergency and get you moving once more with our expert fuel drain assistance.

It was before 10 pm on a Saturday and although we were guaranteed a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Ryan and I were sitting there going over the recent tennis, waiting for the seventh job for the day to come in. Inevitably we got a phone call from a lady on a company expedition who had gone to the Shell petrol garage in Brownlow Fold and filled petrol in her diesel Suzuki lease car in error. She was somewhat troubled apparently, saying "I still can't believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I totally did not remember I was using a diesel!" I just told her to relax and not to worry, and also that things like this happen. She managed to relocate the car into a secure space and, as it was only a short distance from us, we could find the customer fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was drained and she was able to go home to the Premier Inn she was residing in. Although we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth it to watch her drive off relaxed and much less stressed. Another job in Greater Manchester well done in my mind!

Do you or your drivers often misfuel your car? We can fix any connected issues.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

How to handle it if you may have put Adblue in a Diesel tank? AdBlue is a chemical that is made out of a mixture of urea (32.5%) and ionized water (67.5%).It is definitely damaging to your vehicle's fuel system, especially in cases where you started the car with Adblue in your fuel tank. The moment the engine has been started up the Adblue will be pulled into your fuel lines and will quickly begin to crystalise, resulting in devastating and costly damage to your car's fuel system.

If you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it asap. And obviously don't start the engine - not even to maneuver it off of the pump. In the event that you have started the car you would almost certainly need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is actually a serious condition to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water in petrol or diesel will likely lead to idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out fully, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to drain in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can deal with both cases pretty simply.

You should know however that if ever the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the previous one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. Providing the boat is either on land, or situated close to a car parking bay we can access the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have performed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel tank placed at the rear of your premises containing unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and business properties in Greater Manchester to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or even a few containers in a garage, as long as we are able to access it, we are able to drain it for you.

Run out of fuel in Brownlow Fold (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a full Greater Manchester Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to refill your car in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home.

Wrong Fuel Drain Brownlow Fold - Brownlow Fold Fuel Drain

A gentleman had broken down just near a road in Brownlow Fold. His BMW engine had ceased working and he'd no clue what was the problem right up until he noticed he had put unleaded in his diesel car. He called us to get a fuel drain and that's when he said to us: "I cannot believe that I didn't detect that I put the wrong fuel in my car." He stated that he had gotten zero rest the evening before and that must have been the key reason why.
