Incorrect fuel in your car in Flixton? You've come to the right place. We are here to assist you in this situatiuon and get you driving once again with our specialist fuel drain assistance.

It was around 6 pm on a Monday and though we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't given up on pouring! Ray and me were sitting discussing the footy results, waiting for the next telephone call of the day to arrive. Finally we received a phone call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had gone to the Esso petrol garage in Flixton and put petrol in her diesel Nissan lease car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was rather agitated it seemed, saying "I just can't believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling up my petrol car I had forgot that I was using a diesel!" I just advised her to settle back and not to fret, plus that these things regrettably often happen. She managed to maneuver the car into a protected spot and, since it was no more than a few minutes away from us, we were able to get to the woman swiftly. The contaminated fuel was drained so she could go home to the motel she was residing in. Despite the fact that we got very soaked, it was all rewarding to see her drive away calm and much less concerned. Yet another fuel drain in Greater Manchester well done in my books!

Our Areas of Expertise :

We are ready to take the wrong fuel work.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Greater Manchester we have identified increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination when somebody has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly stemming from drivers not being aware of the way to to make use of (note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right near to each other on the automobile.

Now, what's the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? As the product is mostly ionised water, it's just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

If perhaps you discover youself to be in this situation do not fret or panic! Call us, the UK?s Number one fuel contamination service. Our engineers have got the technical competence and working experience to get you back on the road promptly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant condition to address in a vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel can result in idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed properly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to handle both circumstances very quickly.

You should know however that if ever the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to a vehicle parking spot we should be able to reach the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We've done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel container in the back of the garden full of aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several privately owned and industrial properties in Greater Manchester to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even numerous containers in a garage, as long as we can access it, we are able to empty it for you.

Run out of fuel in Flixton (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a full Greater Manchester Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to fill up your car in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at pump price) to refill your car. They can also handle the typical troubles which might go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even dead batteries due to over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Flixton - Flixton Fuel Drain

A customer phoned us from his house on a close in Flixton. He exclaimed, "My car (a Jaguar) is not starting up and is creating awful sounds when I turn the key." He admitted that he put petrol in his diesel vehicle but then reckoned he would remedy the problem by putting additional Diesel on top. We were on scene quickly, carried out the drain and filled him up once again with fresh Diesel. He said that he'd be absolutely sure to tell people not to fill up over the incorrect fuel but to get it drained immediately.
