It was about eight pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry night, it had not given up on pouring! James and I were seated there talking about the rugby, waiting for the sixth job of the day to come in. Eventually we received the call from a young lady on a business trip who had gone to the Tesco filling garage in Winstanley and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Fiat rental. She was rather troubled it seemed, stating "I cannot believe that I've ruined the car! I am so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I had forgot that I was running a diesel!" I just instructed her to take it easy and not to worry, plus that things like this sadly often happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle into a protected area and, since it was only a few miles away from the office, we were able to arrive at the customer fairly quickly. The bad fuel was taken out so she could get back to the Travelodge she was lodging in. Although we got pretty wet, it was all worth the time to watch her drive off contented and not so concerned. One more job in Greater Manchester done well in my opinion!

This is what we do best.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Greater Manchester we are discovering more and more examples of AdBlue contamination where a driver has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent due to motorists not knowing how to work with it (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right near to each other on the automobile.

So, precisely what is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing as AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water will not mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

Contact us if you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will attend to different types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant matter to address in a vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel tank can easily contribute to idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not addressed fully, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of compared to water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. However we can handle both cases rather simply.

You should know though that as long as the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will be totally water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to a car or truck parking spot we will be able to reach the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got a fuel tank placed at the rear of the garden with old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many privately owned and business properties in Greater Manchester for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or even some drums in a shed, as long as we can access it, we could certainly drain it.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Winstanley (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a complete Greater Manchester Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to re-fill your car in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at cost) to fill your automobile. They will be able to take care of the typical issues which might accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, and even dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Winstanley - Winstanley Fuel Removal

A man called us from his home on a road in Winstanley. He explained, "My car (a Mercedes) is not starting up and is producing very bad noises when I flip the key." He confessed that he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle but then thought he would resolve the problem by putting additional Diesel on top. We were on scene promptly, performed the drain and filled him up again with fresh Diesel. He said he would be certain to tell people not to fill up over the incorrect fuel but to have it cleaned out immediately.
