It was about 9 pm on a Wednesday and though we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it hadn't given up on raining! Brian and I were resting commenting on the rugby, waiting for the seventh fuel drain of the day to arrive. Finally we received the call from a lovely women on a business expedition who had arrived at the BP petrol garage in Foggbrook and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Peugeot rental car by mistake. She was very troubled it seemed, stating "I just can't believe I have messed up the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling my petrol car that I completely did not remember I was driving a diesel!" We instructed her to take it easy and not to be concerned, plus that things like this sadly happen. She had managed to relocate the car into a safe area and, because it was just a few minutes from us, we were able to find the woman swiftly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to get back to the hotel she was staying in. Despite the fact we got extremely wet, it was all worth the effort to see her drive off contented and a lot less stressed. One more fuel drain in Greater Manchester well done in my books!

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Greater Manchester we have discovered increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is partly stemming from drivers not knowing how to use it (important: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly adjacent to one another on the car.

Now, exactly what is the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it as quickly as possible. And most definitely be careful not to switch on the motor - not even to relocate it away from the pump. In the instance that you did start the car you will probably have to have the whole fuel system purged and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important situation to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel is going to produce idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of properly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out as compared with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both cases quite quickly.

Remember though that as long as the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the previous one will be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or moored near to a vehicle parking spot we are able to access the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank in the back of your premises containing old, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several domestic and commercial properties in Greater Manchester to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even several containers in a shed, assuming that we are able to access it, we can certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Foggbrook (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a complete Greater Manchester Run Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to re-fill your car in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) and refill the car. They will be able to take care of any of the typical problems which may go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or even flat batteries due to over-cranking.

A customer had conked out off a street in Foggbrook. His Ford engine had ceased working and he had no idea what was the problem right up until he noticed he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel car. He phoned us to request a fuel drain and it was then when he explained to us: "I cannot believe that I did not know that I had put the incorrect fuel in my car." He said that he had gotten zero sleep the evening before and that could have been the reason why.
