It was just after 10 pm on a Monday and while we were promised a dry afternoon, it had not given up on pouring! Dan and me were seated talking about the footy results, ready for the sixth call of the day to arrive. Finally we got the phone call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had arrived at the Shell petrol station in Crimble and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Mazda rental. She was very agitated it seemed, saying "I simply can't believe I have destroyed the car! I am just so used to filling up my petrol car I completely didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" I asked her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and also that such things unfortunately can happen. She was able to move the car to a protected space and, since it was just a short distance off from us, we were able to arrive at her fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was drained and she was able to go home to the hotel she was residing at. Despite the fact we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive away satisfied and much less worried. Another fuel drain in Greater Manchester well done in my books!

Do you or your employees usually misfuel your car? We can solve any connected issues.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Greater Manchester we are noticing progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination when a driver has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree caused by motorists being unsure of the way to use it (note: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally right near to one another on the vehicle.

So, exactly what is the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Also, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

In the event that you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained right away. And of course be careful not to turn over the engine - not even to shift it from the pump. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you may probably need to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is without question a serious condition to deal with in a car - especially in modern common-rail engines. Having water in your petrol or diesel may well result in idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied fully, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both circumstances very simply.

You should know though that as long as the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be installed because the previous one will likely be totally wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to a car parking spot we can access the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir in the back of your garden containing old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous private and business premises in Greater Manchester to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or even a number of drums in a storage shed, assuming that we are able to access it, we can empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Crimble (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a complete Greater Manchester Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to fill up your vehicle in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump price) and fill up your automobile. They can also handle the common problems which can accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or maybe flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Crimble - Crimble Wrong Fuel Doctor

I had a fantastic day hiking on my holiday and felt pleased the next working day as I set out to aid a young family away in Crimble. They had broken down after filling the wrong fuel in their Porsche, and they were close to an hour away. I turned up at their car and laughed while I listened to the lady telling off her husband for turning out to be so stupid. "How could you actually manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she told him. I tried to tell her that this occurs regularly in Greater Manchester and that it is nothing at all to get worried about, and yet he still got an ear bashing by his wife. Unlucky guy. Anyways, I removed all of the polluted fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave them some right fuel. While watching them drive down the road I shouted good bye and pondered on what my wife would ask me if I made the exact same blunder... I would personally never ever hear the end of it!
