It was before 9 pm on a Wednesday and although we were assured a rainless night, it hadn't stopped pouring! Brian and I were relaxing there going over the recent sports, waiting around for the seventh job for the day to come in. Eventually we had a phone call from a woman on a business excursion who had gone to the Texaco filling garage in Beswick and put petrol in a diesel Volkswagen lease car. She was fairly irritated apparently, saying "I simply can't believe I have ruined the car! I am so used to filling up my petrol car that I had didn't remember I was running a diesel!" I just advised her to relax and not to fret, and that such things happen. She managed to get the car to a safe space and, seeing as it was only a few miles off from our van, we could arrive at the customer almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was taken out and she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was living at. Although we got very soaked, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive off satisfied and much less anxious. One more job in Greater Manchester done well in my mind!

Our Areas of Expertise: Services We Offer:

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

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Greater Manchester we have identified more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a driver has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to a degree thanks to motorists being unsure of the right way to work with it (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right close to each other on the car.

Now, what's the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Since AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Also, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

If you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it asap. And obviously be careful not to start the engine - not even to move it into a parking bay. If you did start the car you will in all probability need to have the full fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is generally a serious matter to handle in a car - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel tank can potentially cause idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed fully, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both cases fairly easily.

Keep in mind though that whenever the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to a vehicle parking spot we will be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have completed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank placed in the back of your premises containing unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many private and business premises in Greater Manchester to deal with taking away 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. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a few containers in an outbuilding, assuming that we are able to access it, we could certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Beswick (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a complete Greater Manchester Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to refill the car in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at cost) to fill up your car or truck. They are also able to fix the most common problems which could go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe flat batteries because of over-cranking.

A man phoned us from Beswick saying he had unfortunately piped unleaded in his diesel Mazda. "I can't believe it! I can't believe I put unleaded in my nice diesel car!" It only took the fuel drainer around fifty minutes to fully drain the contaminated fuel out of the car. He totally flushed the fuel lines, filter and pumps and put clean diesel in the vehicle. The customer was thrilled and it didn't cost him dealership prices to have the job professionally performed.
