It was before five pm on a Tuesday and though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh night, it hadn't given up on raining! Dan and me were resting commenting on the football results, prepared for the sixth call that day to arrive. In due time we got a call from a lovely women on a business excursion who had arrived at the Tesco filling station in Willows and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Volvo hire car by mistake. She was pretty agitated by the sounds of it, crying "I simply can't believe I have messed up the car! I'm so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car I totally forgot I was using a diesel!" I asked her to settle back and not to fret, and also that things like this regrettably do happen. She had managed to move the car into a safe space and, since it was just a few miles away from the office, we were able to arrive at her right away. The wrong fuel was taken out so she could get back to the motel she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got pretty drenched, it was all worth it seeing her drive away calm and much less worried. Another fuel drain in Greater Manchester well done in my mind!

AdBlue Contamination

In Greater Manchester we have noticed more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where somebody has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is partially thanks to people not being totally sure the way to to make use of (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly next to each other on the automobile.

Well, precisely what is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing that the product is predominantly ionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Apart from this, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it as quickly as possible. And absolutely take care not to start up the vehicle - not even to shift it into a parking place. In case you did start the vehicle you will likely have to have the complete fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious condition to take care of in a motor vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines. Having water in your petrol or diesel will often produce idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of properly, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both situations fairly simply.

Remember that as long as the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be installed since the previous one will be totally water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to an automobile parking bay we will be able to access the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank lying at the rear of your premises containing unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few private and industrial premises in Greater Manchester for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or even a few drums in a storage shed, assuming that we can get to it, we are able to empty it.

We can get out to refill your vehicle if you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at cost) to fill up your vehicle.

Fuel Rescue Willows - Willows Wrong Fuel

I'd had a great day cycling on my holiday and was feeling pleased the following day as I set out to assist a new couple who were on holiday in Willows. They had conked out after filling diesel into their Land Rover, and they were close to an hour away. I showed up at their car and laughed while I listened to the gal telling her spouse off for turning out to be so confused. "How could you conceivably be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she said to him. I attempted to tell her that this comes to pass everyday in Greater Manchester and that it's actually absolutely nothing to get worried about, even so he still got his ear bent by his better half. I felt genuine sympathy for the lad. Anyhow, I drained out all the contaminated fuel, flushed the motor and gave it some correct fuel. Watching while they drove away I waved farewell and pondered on what my missus would do to me if ever I did the exact same thing... I'd personally never hear the end of it!
