It was around 9 pm on a Wednesday and even though we were guaranteed a dry day, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Ryan and me were seated talking over the weekend's rugby rankings, waiting for the sixth telephone call of the day to arrive. Before long we had a phone call from a girl on a company excursion who had pulled into the Texaco petrol station in Egerton and filled petrol in her diesel Volvo rental in error. The unfortunate thing was somewhat irritated it seemed, crying "I can't believe I have messed up the car! I'm just so used to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I had didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I told her to calm down and not to be concerned, and also that such things sadly often happen. She had managed to get the vehicle to a safe position and, because it was no more than a short distance off from the office, we were able to find her almost instantly. The bad fuel was extracted so she could once again go back to the motel she was living in. Despite the fact that we got really drenched, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive away satisfied and less anxious. A job in Greater Manchester done well in my mind!

Services We Provide:

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

AdBlue In Diesel

In Greater Manchester we have discovered more and more examples of AdBlue contamination when a person has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to some extent thanks to people not understanding how to use it (note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right adjacent to one another on the automobile.

Well, what's the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing that AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition to this, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it as quickly as possible. And definitely be careful not to turn over the car - not even to maneuver it to a parking bay. In case you did start the vehicle you would probably have to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious condition to address in a car - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your petrol or diesel may bring about idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with fully, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can resolve both cases rather simply.

Be aware that any time the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one will be completely water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to parking bay we should be able to gain access to the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've carried out many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir laying at the back of the garden containing unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous privately owned and industrial properties in Greater Manchester to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or even a few drums in a shed, providing we can access it, we can drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Egerton (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a complete Greater Manchester Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to fill up the car any time you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at pump prices) to refill your automobile. They can also handle any of the typical issues that could go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

A man rang us from his residence on a road in Egerton. He said, "My car (a Porsche) is not starting and is making very bad sounds when I flip the ignition." He said that he had put unleaded in his diesel car however thought he would fix the problem by putting more Diesel on top. We showed up promptly, performed the drain and filled him up again with fresh Diesel.
