Helping you get back on the road is our primary goal.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Greater Manchester we are finding an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination where somebody has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is partly due to people not being aware of how to use it (pay attention: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right adjacent to each other on the automobile.

So, what is the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Since AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Also, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And most certainly do not start the engine - not even to relocate it into a parking area. In the instance that you did start the car you would in all likelihood have to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is usually a serious situation to address in an automobile - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water in the diesel or petrol can certainly produce idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed effectively, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove than water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both cases very simply.

Keep in mind that as long as the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the old one will probably be totally wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to a motor vehicle parking bay we will be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel reservoir at the rear of your premises full of out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many private and industrial properties in Greater Manchester for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even some drums in a shed, provided that we are able to access it, we can empty it.

Out of fuel in Longshaw (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a complete Greater Manchester Out of Fuel Service. We can help to fill up your car if you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at pump prices) to fill your vehicle. They can also take care of any of the standard troubles that may come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even dead batteries due to over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Longshaw - Longshaw Wrong Fuel Drain

I had a great afternoon fishing on my off day and was feeling delighted with myself the next working day as I headed out to help a new couple who were holidaying in Longshaw. They had pulled over after adding petrol into their Citroen, and they were approximately half an hour away. I showed up at their car and laughed while I heard to the gal telling her hubby off for turning out to be so daft. "Just how could you conceivably manage to fill the car up by using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I attempted to explain that this comes to pass on a regular basis in Greater Manchester and that it's absolutely nothing to stress about, even so he all the same had an ear bashing by his missus. Unfortunate lad. Anyhow, I removed the wrong fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled them up with the proper fuel. Watching them drive away I shouted hasta la vista and wondered what her indoors would ask me if perhaps I did the same thing... I would never ever live it down!
