It was just before five pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were promised a rainless evening, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Dan and I were sitting talking over the football, ready for the seventh telephone call that day to arrive. In due time we had the call from a girl on a business excursion who had gone to the Texaco filling station in Hollins and put petrol in her diesel Chevrolet hire car by mistake. The poor thing was pretty irritated apparently, saying "I just can't believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I totally did not remember I was running a diesel!" We asked her to settle back and not to be concerned, and that such things can happen. She managed to relocate the car to a secure area and, seeing that it was only a few miles away from our van, we could get to her without delay. The contaminated fuel was extracted and she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was lodging at.

Our Services:

Listed here are the top services we provide to our clients.

AdBlue Contamination

All around Greater Manchester we have identified a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is mostly as a result of motorists not understanding the right way to to make use of (important: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right near to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what's the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing that AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is actually just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

Phone us in the event that you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to take care of all types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is certainly an important issue to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water in the diesel or petrol will often bring about idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with correctly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain when compared with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both circumstances very swiftly.

Bear in mind though that so long as the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one is going to be wholly wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. So long as the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to a car parking spot we are able to gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken many fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Wrong Fuel Hollins - Hollins Petrol in Diesel

I had appreciated a wonderful evening golfing on my holiday and was feeling pleased with myself the following day as I set out to help a young family on holiday in Hollins. They'd stopped after inserting diesel in their Peugeot, and they were roughly an hour away. I arrived at their position and smirked to myself as I listened to the lady telling her hubby off for actually being so daft. "How could you conceivably find a way to fill the car up by using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I tried to clarify that this kind of thing happens all the time in Greater Manchester and that it is nothing to be concerned about, nonetheless he in spite of everything got an earful by his missus. Poor guy. Anyways, I cleaned up and removed all of the contaminated fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled it up with the appropriate fuel. Watching them drive off I waved bon voyage and pondered on what my missus would say to me if perhaps I made the same blunder... I would personally never live it down!
