It was about seven pm on a Monday and although we were promised a dry and fresh day, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Paul and me were seated there commenting on the weekend's golf rankings, waiting around for the seventh fuel drain for the day to arrive. In due time we received the phone call from a young lady on a company trip who had pulled into the Shell filling garage in Golborne and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Ford lease car. She was rather troubled apparently, saying "I can't believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I had forgot I was driving a diesel!" I just asked her to relax and not to fret, and that things like this can happen. She managed to relocate the car to a secure area and, seeing as it was just a short distance away from our van, we were able to arrive at the lady swiftly. The wrong fuel was drained so she could go home to the motel she was staying in. Even though we got extremely soaked, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive off satisfied and not so apprehensive. One more job in Greater Manchester done well in my books!

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Greater Manchester we are finding a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree due to people being unsure of the right way to work with it (be aware: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly near to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what exactly is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing that AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Moreover, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you discover youself to be in this situation do not panic! Contact us, the UK?s Premium fuel contamination business. Our experts have got the technical skills and experience to have you back on the road swiftly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded or diesel, can be a significant matter to address in a vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Water in your diesel or petrol can certainly contribute to idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not addressed properly, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out as compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both cases very simply.

Take note though that as long as the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will probably be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to a car or truck parking spot we will be able to access the tanks and remove the fuel. We have performed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel reservoir at the back of your premises containing unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few domestic and business premises in Greater Manchester to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even some drums in a storage shed, as long as we are able to get to it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Golborne (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a full Greater Manchester Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to fill up your vehicle in cases where you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at pump prices) and refill your car or truck. They will handle the normal problems which may accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Golborne - Golborne Wrong Fuel Assist

A customer had stopped just off a street in Golborne. His Mazda motor had stopped working and he had no clue what was faulty right up until he noticed he put unleaded in his diesel vehicle. He rang us to request a fuel drain and that is when he explained to us: "I can't believe that I didn't detect that I had put the incorrect fuel in my vehicle." He claimed that he had got absolutely no rest the evening before and that must have been precisely why.
