We're just a phone call away.

It was around six pm on a Thursday and although we were promised a rainless afternoon, it had not ceased raining! Paul and I were seated there commenting on the recent tennis, waiting for the next fuel drain for the day to come in. Finally we got a phone call from a woman on a company expedition who had pulled into the Esso filling garage in Bowdon and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Land Rover hire car in error. The poor lady was quite affected it seemed, telling me "I can't believe that I have ruined the car! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot that I was using a diesel!" We instructed her to take it easy and not to fret, plus that such things regrettably happen. She managed to relocate the car into a safe position and, as it was just a few minutes off from where we were, we were able to get to the woman fairly quickly. The bad fuel was extracted so she could get back to the Travelodge she was living in. Despite the fact we got really drenched, it was all worth the time seeing her drive home relaxed and not so concerned. A fuel drain in Greater Manchester done well in my books!

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Greater Manchester we have noticed an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mostly as a consequence of drivers being unsure of how to to make use of (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to one another on the car.

So, what is the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing that the product is mostly ionised water, it is just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you put AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it as soon as possible. And most definitely never start the motor - not even to move it to a parking area. If perhaps you did start the car you may in all likelihood have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a serious condition to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Water inside your diesel or petrol will often cause idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not taken care of properly, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both cases rather expediently.

You should know that in the event that the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be installed because the previous one will be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to a vehicle parking bay we can reach the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank in the back of your premises containing old, useless or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous privately owned and industrial premises in Greater Manchester to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps several drums in a storage shed, if we can reach it, we could certainly empty it.

A motorist had conked out off a road in Bowdon. His Nissan engine had stopped operating and he had no idea what was wrong until eventually he realised he put unleaded in his diesel car. He phoned us to get a fuel drain and it was then when he said to us: "I can't believe that I didn't realise that I had put the wrong fuel in my car." He said that he had gotten no sleep the night before and that could have been why.
