It was just after ten pm on a Wednesday and even though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh evening, it had not stopped pouring! James and I were sitting there commenting on the recent tennis results, waiting around for the next telephone call of the day to arrive. Inevitably we had the phone call from a young lady on a business trip who had arrived at the Shell filling garage in Smithy Bridge and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Fiat hire car by mistake. The poor lady was pretty agitated apparently, telling me "I simply cannot believe I've destroyed the car! I'm so used to filling my petrol car I totally did not remember I was using a diesel!" We advised her to settle back and not to be concerned, and that such things sadly do happen. She had managed to move the car to a safe position and, as it was only a short distance from our van, we could find the customer almost instantly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could once again go back to the Travelodge she was staying in.

Our Areas of Competency :

Below are the top services we deliver to our clients.

AdBlue Contamination

All around Greater Manchester we are finding a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is mainly thanks to drivers not understanding how to work with it (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right adjacent to one another on the automobile.

So, what exactly is the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing that the product is primarily ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition to this, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

Assuming you put AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it as quickly as possible. And obviously be careful not to switch on the motor - not even to relocate it to a parking bay. Assuming you did start the vehicle you will in all likelihood need to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's petrol or diesel, is usually a significant situation to handle in a car - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Having water in diesel or petrol may well contribute to idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of fully, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain when compared with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. However we are able to solve both situations very easily.

Bear in mind though that any time the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one will likely be completely wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. Providing the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to a car parking bay we are able to access the storage and remove the fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir placed in the back of your garden full of old, useless or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous private and business premises in Greater Manchester to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps some drums in a garage, as long as we are able to get to it, we are able to drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Smithy Bridge (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a complete Greater Manchester Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to fill up your car in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at pump price) and fill your car. They are also able to take care of any of the most common problems which could go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to start, as well as dead batteries due to over-cranking.
