Local Call-Out and Roadside Wrong Fuel Repair in Horwich

Petrol in your diesel car in Horwich? You've come to the right place. We are here to help you in this emergency and get you moving again with our professional fuel removal services.

It was just after 5 pm on a Thursday and though we were guaranteed a dry day, it hadn't stopped raining! James and I were relaxing there going over the tennis, ready for the seventh fuel drain for the day to arrive. In due time we got a call from a young lady on a business expedition who had pulled into the Tesco petrol garage in Horwich and filled petrol in a diesel Hyundai rental in error. The unfortunate thing was quite troubled apparently, crying "I still can't believe that I have wrecked the car! I am just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car that I had did not remember that I was running a diesel!" I told her to take it easy and not to fret, and that things like this regrettably do happen. She managed to relocate the car into a protected space and, seeing as it was no more than a short distance away from our van, we were able to get to her fairly quickly. The bad fuel was taken out so she could return to the Premier Inn she was staying in. Although we got fairly drenched, it was all rewarding to watch her drive away satisfied and much less stressed. A misfuel correction in Greater Manchester done well in my books!

Our Fields of Expertise:

Here are the top services we offer to our customers.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Greater Manchester we are noticing progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part stemming from motorists not knowing the way to to make use of (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly close to one another on the car.

Well, exactly what is the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing that the product is predominantly ionised water, it's almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Moreover, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you put AdBlue in your fuel tank remove it right away. And absolutely take care not to start up the car - not even to shift it away from the pump. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you may in all probability have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, can be an important condition to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Water in diesel or petrol will likely contribute to idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed properly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain than water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can handle both cases pretty easily.

Be aware that so long as the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will probably be thoroughly wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. As long as the boat is either on land, or situated close to a car or truck parking bay we should be able to reach the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got an old fuel reservoir lying in the back of your premises full of out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many privately owned and industrial properties in Greater Manchester to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even some drums in a shed, provided that we are able to access it, we are able to empty it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Horwich (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a comprehensive Greater Manchester Run Out of Fuel Service. We will help to re-fill your car in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at pump prices) to refill the car. They are also able to deal with the common troubles which could accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

A person rang us from his place on a street in Horwich. He pronounced, "My car (a Toyota) is not starting up and is creating terrible noises when I turn the ignition." He admitted that he put petrol in his diesel car but then imagined he would solve the issue by putting additional Diesel on top. We showed up promptly, performed the drain and filled him up once more with fresh Diesel. He said that he'd be certain to explain to people not to fill up over the wrong fuel but to have it cleaned out promptly.
