It was after 9 pm on a Friday and even though we were assured a dry day, it hadn't stopped raining! Brian and I were seated going over the recent tennis, ready for the next job of the day to arrive. Finally we got a phone call from a lady on a business trip who had pulled into the Tesco petrol station in Lamberhead Green and put petrol in a diesel MINI rental. She was quite distressed it seemed, crying "I just can't believe that I have destroyed the car! I am just so used to filling my petrol car I completely didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I just instructed her to calm down and not to be concerned, and that these things sadly do happen. She was able to get the vehicle into a safe position and, because it was just a short distance away from our van, we were able to arrive at the lady swiftly. The contaminated fuel was drained and she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was lodging at.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Greater Manchester we are encountering increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination when a driver has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent thanks to people not being totally sure the right way to use it (please note: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally right next to each other on the car.

Well, what exactly is the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? As the product is mainly deionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Moreover, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

If in case you put AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it as soon as possible. And obviously do not crank the car - not even to shift it into a parking bay. If perhaps you did start the car you would likely have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is generally a significant situation to address in an automobile - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel tank is likely to trigger idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not sorted out effectively, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain as compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to resolve both situations quite swiftly.

Keep in mind however that as long as the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one will likely be wholly wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to a vehicle parking spot we should be able to reach the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel container laying at the back of your garden with unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few domestic and industrial properties in Greater Manchester to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even some containers in a shed, as long as we are able to access it, we can certainly drain it.

We can easily get out to fill up your car in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home.

Fuel Removal Lamberhead Green - Lamberhead Green Petrol in Diesel

I had enjoyed a fantastic day hiking on my off day and felt delighted with myself the following morning as I headed out to help a new family on vacation in Lamberhead Green. They had conked out after putting diesel into their Lexus, and the car was close to an hour's travel away. I emerged at their position and smirked while I listened to the girl berating her man for turning out to be so confused. "How could you actually be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she told him. I wanted to explain that this happens on a regular basis in Greater Manchester and that it's nothing to be concerned about, and yet he yet still got his ear bent by his missus. Unlucky lad. At any rate, I cleaned up and removed all of the polluted fuel, flushed the motor and gave it some appropriate fuel. As they drove down the road I shouted farewell and thought about what my wife would tell me if I did the same thing... I would personally never hear the end of it!
