It was just after 7 pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry and fresh day, it hadn't stopped raining! Dan and I were seated going over the weekend's sports results, prepared for the 6th telephone call that day to come in. Finally we had the call from a girl on a business excursion who had pulled into the Shell filling garage in Taunton and filled petrol in a diesel Hyundai rental in error. The poor lady was somewhat affected it seemed, saying "I simply cannot believe I've ruined the vehicle! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol car I completely did not remember I was using a diesel!" I advised her to calm down and not to fret, plus that these things unfortunately happen. She managed to move the vehicle to a secure position and, seeing that it was just a few miles away from where we were, we could arrive at the woman rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was taken out so she was able to go home to the Premier Inn she was lodging in. Although we got fairly wet, it was all worth it to watch her drive off relaxed and not so stressed. A fuel drain in Greater Manchester done well in my opinion!

Below are our top services we offer to our clients.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Greater Manchester we are identifying progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent due to people not being aware of the right way to work with it (take note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly close to each other on the vehicle.

Now, exactly what is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Because the product is mainly deionised water, it's almost the same 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 is not going to work. In addition to this, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

If perhaps you put AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it as quickly as possible. And certainly do not start up the motor - not even to move it into a parking place. In cases where you did start the vehicle you will very likely have to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a serious condition to deal with in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Water inside your petrol or diesel can produce idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not taken care of effectively, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both situations rather easily.

Bear in mind though that so long as the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the previous one will likely be wholly water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to a car or truck parking bay we are able to gain access to the storage and drain out the fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

We have been called out to many privately owned and industrial properties in Greater Manchester for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Taunton - Taunton Wrong Fuel Drain

I appreciated a great day golfing during my off day and was feeling pleased with myself the following day as I set out to aid a young couple who were vacationing in Taunton. They conked out after filling the wrong fuel in their Fiat, and were around half an hour away. I arrived at their location and smirked while I heard to the gal telling her hubby off for actually being so stupid. "Exactly how could you actually be able to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I attempted to tell her that this problem occurs regularly in Greater Manchester and that it is absolutely nothing to stress about, nevertheless he yet still had an earful by his missus. Poor guy. At any rate, I drained all the contaminated fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave it some correct fuel. As they drove down the road I mouthed goodbye and thought about what my missus would ask me in the event that I made the same error... I would under no circumstances hear the end of it!
