It was around 7 pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Ray and I were relaxing talking over the football results, waiting for the 8th fuel drain for the day to arrive. Eventually we got a call from a girl on a business expedition who had pulled into the Tesco filling station in Waters Nook and put petrol in her diesel Chevrolet rental by mistake. She was fairly irritated it seemed, crying "I still cannot believe that I have wrecked the car! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle I totally did not remember that I was running a diesel!" We told her to relax and not to worry, and also that these things often happen. She managed to maneuver the car into a protected position and, because it was no more than a few miles off from our van, we could find the woman without delay. The wrong fuel was removed and she could get back to the hotel she was residing at. Although we got really drenched, it was all worth it seeing her drive away satisfied and a lot less concerned. One more job in Greater Manchester done well in my opinion!

Our Services:

These are the fuel mistakes services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Greater Manchester we have identified a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is in part as a result of drivers not being totally sure how to use it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Well, what exactly is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it's like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Also, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

If in case you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it right away. And obviously take care not to start up the engine - not even to move it off the pump. If you did start the vehicle you may most likely have to have the whole fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is generally a serious matter to deal with in a vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines. Putting water in fuel will often result in idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of properly, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to take care of both situations rather simply.

Keep in mind however that if ever the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the previous one will be thoroughly wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to a car parking spot we will be able to access the tanks and remove the fuel. We've performed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir lying at the back of your garden with out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous private and business properties in Greater Manchester to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or even some containers in an outbuilding, if we can access it, we can certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Waters Nook (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a complete Greater Manchester Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to re-fill your vehicle if you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at cost) and refill your car. They will be able to deal with any of the normal problems which may go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or even dead batteries due to over-cranking.
