It was before 8 pm on a Friday and although we were guaranteed a rainless night, it hadn't ceased raining! Dan and I were relaxing there going over the tennis results, ready for the next job to arrive. Before long we received a call from a lovely women on a company expedition who had gone to the Texaco filling station in Running Hill Head and filled petrol in her diesel Skoda lease car in error. The unfortunate lady was rather agitated by the sounds of it, stating "I can't believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot that I was operating a diesel!" I just advised her to relax and not to worry, and also that these things regrettably can happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle to a safe position and, since it was just a short distance from our van, we were able to get to the customer rather quickly. The wrong fuel was drained and she was able to get back to the hotel she was staying at. Even though we got fairly wet, it was all worth it seeing her drive home satisfied and a lot less stressed. A job in Greater Manchester well done in my books!

Here are the top services we deliver to our customers.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Greater Manchester we have noticed progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination when a person has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly stemming from motorists being unsure of the way to work with it (note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right near to each other on the car.

Well, exactly what is the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Because the product is predominantly ionised water, it is actually just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

In the event that you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And absolutely take care not to start the car - not even to maneuver it into a parking place. In case you did start the vehicle you would likely have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is actually a serious matter to handle in a car - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel tank will often result in idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of fully, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of than water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to handle both situations quite simply.

Be aware that if the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to parking spot we should be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've performed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel tank sitting in the rear of your garden containing aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many private and business properties in Greater Manchester for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a few containers in a storage shed, providing we can access it, we can drain it.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Running Hill Head (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a comprehensive Greater Manchester Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to fill up your automobile if you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) and fill your car or truck. They will be able to fix any of the usual problems that may go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or maybe flat batteries caused by over-cranking.
