Our Services:

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Greater Manchester we have encountered more and more instances of AdBlue contamination when an individual has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partially stemming from people not knowing how to work with it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right close to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Since the product is mostly deionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water in to 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 highly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out right away. And most definitely be careful not to crank the vehicle - not even to maneuver it into a parking area. In cases where you did start the car you will in all probability need to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is without question a serious condition to address in an automobile - especially in modern common-rail engines. Water in your diesel or petrol may produce idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out properly, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove than water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both circumstances quite simply.

Take note though that so long as the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be installed since the old one will probably be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated 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 situated near enough to a vehicle parking bay we will be able to reach the storage and drain out the fuel. We've performed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel tank placed at the back of the garden containing aged, useless or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned 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 get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps a number of containers in a shed, provided that we can get to it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Altrincham (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a comprehensive Greater Manchester Run Out of Fuel Service. We will help to re-fill your automobile any time you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at cost) and fill your car. They will handle the most common issues which might go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Recent Fuel Drains in Altrincham

Just a few of the more usual examples we see from many of our engineers in Altrincham:

We got a telephone call from a individual whose Hyundai had conked out on a street after a misfuel. "I got the pumps mixed up and pumped the wrong fuel in my vehicle by mistake. You guys arrived and resolved the issue when my vehicle quit." We drained the wrong fuel from the diesel tank and flushed the system completely and the customer could continue with his sheduled delivery.

Wrong Fuel Altrincham - Altrincham Fuel Drain

A customer from Altrincham with her little ones in her diesel Volvo had filled her car with £30 of petrol at the Tesco service station. She called us crying and extremely worried as she had never put petrol in a diesel and didn't know what could happen to her vehicle in doing so. We assured her that the vehicle should be fine and that she would be in action quickly. When we arrived she was visible distressed but as our technician got to work on the fuel drain she simmered down since she noticed that something could be done and her car wasn't unfixable. She soon cheered up and was up and running saying, "I really can't believe my bad luck putting the wrong fuel in my vehicle! Specifically with the little ones on board."

Wrong Fuel Assist Altrincham - Altrincham Wrong Fuel in Car

I had appreciated a fantastic day fishing during my holiday and was feeling cheerful with myself the next day as I set out to assist a young couple vacationing in Altrincham. They had conked out after putting the wrong fuel in their Mitsubishi, and were about an hour's drive away. I turned up at their location and smirked while I heard to the girl telling her spouse off for actually being so foolish. "Precisely how could you conceivably manage to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she told him. I attempted to tell her that this situation takes place everyday in Greater Manchester and that it's nothing at all to stress about, even so he still got his ear bent. Unfortunate chap. Anyways, I removed the contaminated fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave them some correct fuel. Watching them drive down the road I mouthed farewell and pondered on what my missus would say to me if perhaps I made the exact same error... I would never ever live it down!
