It was just before 6 pm on a Wednesday and though we were assured a rainless night, it hadn't stopped pouring! Brian and I were relaxing discussing the rugby rankings, at the ready for the seventh call for the day to come in. Inevitably we had the phone call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had arrived at the BP petrol garage in Blackley and put petrol in a diesel Mitsubishi lease car in error. She was quite distressed apparently, saying "I still can't believe I have messed up the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I completely forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I advised her to take it easy and not to worry, and that such things sadly can happen. She managed to relocate the car into a safe space and, since it was no more than a few minutes away from our van, we could get to the customer quickly. The incorrect fuel was taken out so she could once again go back to the Travelodge she was residing at.

Below are the top services we provide to our clients.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Greater Manchester we have encountered progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partly due to drivers being unsure of the way to use it (remember: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly next to each other on the automobile.

Well, precisely what is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing as the product is mostly ionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Furthermore, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

In case you put AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it as soon as possible. And absolutely be careful not to start the motor - not even to move it to a parking place. If you did start the vehicle you would in all likelihood have to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is usually a serious situation to address in a vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel tank will often contribute to idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not taken care of effectively, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain than water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to resolve both cases fairly swiftly.

Keep in mind that any time the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one will probably be completely wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to a car or truck parking bay we can reach the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've succesfully done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir laying in the back of your premises with out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many private and business premises in Greater Manchester to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even numerous drums in an outbuilding, if we are able to get to it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Blackley (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a full Greater Manchester Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to fill up your car in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at home.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Blackley - Blackley Fuel Rescue

I enjoyed a fantastic afternoon golfing during my off day and felt satisfied with myself the next day as I was en route to help a new couple who were away in Blackley. They stopped after filling the wrong fuel into their Honda, and they were about half an hour's drive away. I emerged at their car and laughed while I heard to the gal telling her spouse off for turning out to be so stupid. "Exactly how could you possibly manage to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I tried to clarify that this kind of thing takes place quite frequently in Greater Manchester and that it's actually absolutely nothing to be anxious about, nevertheless he in spite of everything got his ear bent by his better half. Unlucky lad. Anyway, I drained all of the polluted fuel, flushed the engine and filled it up with the right fuel. Watching them drive away I waved farewell and considered what my wife would say to me if perhaps I did the same thing... I would never ever hear the end of it!
