It was close to eight pm on a Friday and although we were promised a dry and fresh day, it hadn't stopped raining! Brian and me were relaxing there talking about the tennis results, waiting around for the sixth job for the day to arrive. Finally we received the phone call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had arrived at the Esso petrol station in Littleborough and put petrol in a diesel SEAT lease car by mistake. She was very agitated by the sounds of it, saying "I can't believe I've messed up the car! I am so used to filling up my petrol vehicle I totally did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I asked her to take it easy and not to worry, also that things like this do happen. She was able to move the car into a protected position and, seeing as it was just a few miles off from our van, we could get to her rather quickly. The wrong fuel was extracted and she was able to get back to the motel she was living at. Even though we got really drenched, it was all worth the time to watch her drive away contented and not so worried. Yet another misfuel correction in Greater Manchester done well in my opinion!

Our Areas of Experience :

Here is a list of the incorrect fuel services we give.

AdBlue Contamination

In Greater Manchester we have encountered an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially thanks to drivers being unsure of the way to to make use of (be aware: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly next to each other on the automobile.

Now, precisely what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it's as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition to this, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

In the case you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it immediately. And most definitely be careful not to start up the car - not even to move it to a parking bay. In case you did start the vehicle you may almost certainly need to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a serious situation to address in an automobile - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel tank may lead to idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed properly, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to drain as compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both situations rather expediently.

You should know however that in the event that the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to a vehicle parking spot we should be able to reach the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We've undertaken numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel reservoir in the rear of the garden with out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of private and commercial premises in Greater Manchester to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a number of containers in an outbuilding, as long as we are able to access it, we are able to empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Littleborough (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a full Greater Manchester Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to refill the car in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at cost) and refill the car. They are also able to deal with the usual troubles that may come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
