It was just after five pm on a Tuesday and though we were assured a rainless night, it hadn't stopped pouring! Dan and me were relaxing going over the recent tennis rankings, ready for the 8th job to come in. Eventually we had a call from a young lady on a business expedition who had pulled into the Texaco filling garage in Affetside and filled petrol in a diesel BMW lease car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was very irritated apparently, telling me "I just can't believe I have ruined the car! I am so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember I was running a diesel!" I told her to calm down and not to be concerned, and also that things like this sadly happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle into a safe spot and, since it was just a few minutes off from the office, we could find the lady almost instantly. The bad fuel was extracted and she was able to return to the hotel she was residing at. Despite the fact we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive off satisfied and a lot less stressed. Another job in Greater Manchester well done in my mind!

Services We Provide:

Here's a list of the wrong fuel services we provide.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Greater Manchester we have noticed more and more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent due to motorists not knowing the right way to use it (note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right near to each other on the car.

Now, precisely what is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition to this, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

In the event that you discover youself to be in this position don?t panic! Call us, the UK?s Number one fuel contamination company. Our engineers have the technical know-how and working experience to get you back on the road quickly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is usually an important matter to handle in a car - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Having water inside your petrol or diesel may well bring about idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied fully, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out as compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to solve both circumstances fairly quickly.

Keep in mind however that if the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter to be installed since the previous one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to a car parking bay we can access the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir placed in the rear of your garden with unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of private and industrial properties in Greater Manchester to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a number of drums in a garage, as long as we are able to get to it, we can empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Affetside (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a comprehensive Greater Manchester Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to re-fill the car in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) and fill your car or truck. They will be able to handle any of the common problems which might come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or maybe dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.
