Our Fields of Specialties: Services Our Company Offers:

Below are our top services we give to our customers.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Greater Manchester we have encountered a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is mainly due to drivers not being totally sure how to use it (note: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly adjacent to one another on the car.

Well, what's the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing as the product is mainly ionised water, it is as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Additionally, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

In case you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it as soon as possible. And most definitely be careful not to turn over the motor - not even to maneuver it off of the pump. Assuming you did start the vehicle you would in all likelihood need to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious issue to address in a vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water in petrol or diesel can potentially contribute to idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not remedied correctly, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain compared to water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can handle both situations fairly quickly.

Take note however that so long as the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Providing the boat is either on land, or situated near to a vehicle parking bay we can gain access to the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

We have been called out to many private and business properties in Greater Manchester for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even numerous drums in a garage, assuming that we can access it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Out of fuel in Firwood Fold (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a complete Greater Manchester Out of Fuel Service.
