We can assist you with all these mis-fuel mistakes.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Greater Manchester we are noticing more and more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is partially caused by motorists being unsure of how to use it (note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right adjacent to one another on the car.

Well, what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you put AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it right away. And most definitely do not turn over the engine - not even to relocate it to a parking area. In cases where you did start the car you may very likely have to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a significant issue to address in an automobile - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Having water in the diesel or petrol may well contribute to idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied correctly, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to resolve both situations pretty expediently.

Remember however that any time the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the previous one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to a car parking spot we should be able to access the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have a fuel tank at the back of your garden with unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of private and industrial properties in Greater Manchester for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a number of drums in an outbuilding, providing we are able to get to it, we are able to empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Littleborough (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a comprehensive Greater Manchester Run Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to refill your car in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at pump price) and fill up the car. They will be able to deal with any of the typical problems which can go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
