It was after ten pm on a Wednesday and while we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it had not stopped pouring! Brian and me were relaxing there going over the weekend's rugby rankings, at the ready for the seventh job for the day to arrive. Eventually we had a phone call from a lady on a company trip who had pulled into the Tesco filling station in Handforth and filled petrol in her diesel Peugeot hire car in error. She was somewhat agitated by the sounds of it, crying "I just can't believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I advised her to relax and not to worry, and also that such things do happen. She was able to move the car into a protected spot and, seeing as it was only a few minutes from the office, we could reach the woman rather quickly. The bad fuel was taken out and she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was lodging in. Despite the fact we got very soaked, it was all rewarding to see her drive away satisfied and less worried. Another misfuel correction in Greater Manchester well done in my opinion!

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Greater Manchester we are discovering an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is mostly a result of people being unsure of how to work with it (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right next to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what's the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is actually like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

Should you discover youself to be in this position do not fret or panic! Contact us, the UK?s Number 1 fuel contamination service. Our experts have the specialised knowledge and working experience to get you back on your way promptly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, can be a serious condition to handle in an automobile - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Putting water in the petrol or diesel is likely to trigger idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of effectively, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove as compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both circumstances quite expediently.

Remember that whenever the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one will be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to a car or truck parking bay we are able to access the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank placed at the back of the garden full of unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous private and commercial properties in Greater Manchester to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps some drums in a shed, providing we are able to get to it, we can certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Handforth (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a complete Greater Manchester Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to re-fill your vehicle in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) and fill your car. They can also take care of the typical troubles which may accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, as well as flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Handforth - Handforth Fuel Rescue

A gentleman had stopped near a street in Handforth. His Peugeot car had stopped working and he'd no idea what was faulty until he realised he had put petrol in his diesel vehicle. He phoned us to get a fuel drain and that is when he informed us: "I cannot believe that I did not detect that I put the incorrect fuel in my vehicle." He said that he had gotten no rest the night before and that must have been the key reason why.
