It was before 10 pm on a Thursday and though we were assured a rainless night, it hadn't stopped raining! Ray and me were seated there talking over the recent sports results, at the ready for the next call that day to come in. Finally we had the phone call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling station in Woolfold and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Nissan rental. She was rather troubled apparently, stating "I still can't believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I totally didn't remember I was running a diesel!" I advised her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and that things like this regrettably do happen. She was able to get the car to a safe area and, because it was no more than a few miles away from our van, we could arrive at the lady without delay. The wrong fuel was removed and she could get back to the hotel she was lodging at. Although we got pretty soaked, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive off contented and a lot less anxious. Yet another fuel drain in Greater Manchester well done in my opinion!

Our Areas of Expertise:

Here is a list of the wrong fuel services we deliver.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Greater Manchester we are discovering a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when somebody has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly stemming from drivers not being aware of how to use it (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly close to each other on the car.

So, what exactly is the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing that the product is primarily ionised water, it is actually just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Also, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

If in case you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And definitely do not switch on the car - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. In cases where you have started the vehicle you would most likely have to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is petrol or diesel, tends to be an important situation to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel will often produce idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of fully, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain when compared with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can take care of both situations rather simply.

Take note that as long as the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to parking spot we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel container lying at the back of your premises containing unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few domestic and industrial premises in Greater Manchester for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a few containers in a shed, provided that we can access it, we could certainly drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Woolfold (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a comprehensive Greater Manchester Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to re-fill your vehicle if you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at cost) and fill up your car. They will be able to handle the standard troubles that could go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Woolfold - Woolfold Fuel Removal

The other day a young man called us just after his Ford cut out in the middle of a road in Woolfold.

It was yet early in the day and our fuel drainer, who resides close by, got to him in less than 20 minutes. We managed to take out the wrong fuel and put clean diesel once again in to the vehicle. "Thank you for your immediate response, particularly at 2 a.m., I really am grateful for it."
