Do you or your drivers frequently misfuel your car? We can solve any related problems.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Greater Manchester we are noticing a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination when a person has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is in part due to drivers not being totally sure the right way to use it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right adjacent to one another on the car.

Well, what is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Apart from this, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

If perhaps you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out at the earliest opportunity. And of course take care not to start the engine - not even to move it away from the pump. Assuming you did start the car you would most likely need to have the complete fuel system purged and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is actually an important matter to address in a motor vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Water inside your petrol or diesel can easily result in idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not addressed properly, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain when compared with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to take care of both circumstances pretty simply.

You should know though that if ever the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will be wholly wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or parked close to a vehicle parking bay we are able to gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

We have been called out to a number of private and industrial premises in Greater Manchester to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or even a number of drums in a storage shed, providing we can reach it, we can empty it.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Mellor (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a full Greater Manchester Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to fill up your automobile in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at pump prices) to refill your automobile. They will be able to deal with the normal issues that may go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, as well as dead batteries because of over-cranking.
