It was about five pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry night, it hadn't stopped raining! Mark and me were relaxing there talking over the recent golf rankings, at the ready for the 6th call for the day to arrive. Inevitably we received a call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had pulled into the Texaco petrol garage in Stretford and put petrol in her diesel Mitsubishi rental by mistake. She was rather irritated apparently, saying "I still can't believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I just advised her to relax and not to be concerned, plus that these things sadly can happen. She was able to move the car into a safe area and, seeing as it was only a few minutes away from our van, we were able to reach her almost instantly. The bad fuel was taken out and she was able to return to the motel she was living at. Even though we got fairly drenched, it was all worth it to see her drive home contented and much less worried. Another fuel drain in Greater Manchester done well in my opinion!

Helping you get back on the road is our main goal.

AdBlue In Diesel

How to proceed in the event that you have put Adblue in a Diesel tank? It tends to be devastating to your car's fuel system, especially any time you run the engine with Adblue in your fuel tank. As soon as the engine has been started up the Adblue will be injected into your fuel lines and will rapidly start to crystalise, causing devastating and expensive harm to your automobile's fuel system.

If perhaps you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank remove it right away. And most definitely do not turn over the car - not even to relocate it off of the pump. If perhaps you did start the car you may likely need to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, tends to be a serious issue to address in a vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol will produce idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not addressed effectively, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can solve both circumstances fairly easily.

Bear in mind though that whenever the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the previous one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to an automobile parking bay we will be able to access the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel container in the back of the garden containing unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few private and commercial properties in Greater Manchester to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps several containers in a garage, if we are able to reach it, we can drain it.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Stretford (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a complete Greater Manchester Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to refill the car any time you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at pump price) and fill up the car. They are also able to fix the most common problems which can go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to start, as well as flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Stretford - Stretford Wrong Fuel

The other day a customer called us soon after his Skoda cut out on a street in Stretford. He had by accident put petrol in the diesel vehicle and was only able to get as far as the street before having to halt. It was early in the morning and our technical engineer, who stays not far away, was with him in less than a quarter hour. We were able to get rid of the wrong fuel and put fresh diesel yet again into the car. "Thank you for your fast response, especially at 1 a.m., I genuinely appreciate it."
