It was about six pm on a Friday and though we were promised a rainless evening, it had not given up on pouring down rain! James and me were resting there talking over the rugby, waiting for the 8th job for the day to come in. Eventually we had the call from a young lady on a business expedition who had gone to the Texaco filling garage in Horrocks Fold and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Kia lease car in error. The poor lady was rather irritated by the sounds of it, crying "I can't believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to filling up my petrol car I completely didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I just advised her to calm down and not to be concerned, and also that these things unfortunately happen. She was able to relocate the car into a safe space and, as it was only a short distance from where we were, we could arrive at the lady fairly quickly. The bad fuel was removed so she could return to the hotel she was living in. Although we got very soaked, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive away relaxed and not so stressed. One more fuel drain in Greater Manchester done well in my books!

This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Greater Manchester we have identified more and more cases of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly caused by people not knowing how to to make use of (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly close to one another on the vehicle.

So, what is the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it's just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Furthermore, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In the case you put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out as soon as possible. And definitely take care not to crank the car - not even to move it off the pump. In cases where you did start the vehicle you would almost certainly have to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, can be a significant condition to deal with in a vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel is going to lead to idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with effectively, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove than water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both situations pretty quickly.

Take note though that if ever the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the previous one will likely be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to an automobile parking bay we will be able to access the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank in the rear of your premises containing out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and industrial properties in Greater Manchester to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even some containers in a storage shed, assuming that we can reach it, we are able to drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Horrocks Fold (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a comprehensive Greater Manchester Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to re-fill your car any time you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump price) and fill up your car or truck. They can also deal with the standard problems which can go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
