It was just after ten pm on a Saturday and while we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it had not stopped pouring! Brian and me were seated there talking over the recent footy results, waiting around for the next fuel drain of the day to arrive. In due time we had the phone call from a woman on a business expedition who had pulled into the Esso petrol garage in Littleborough and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Citroen hire car. She was fairly agitated apparently, saying "I still can't believe I've ruined the car! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle I completely forgot that I was using a diesel!" I just asked her to take it easy and not to worry, and that things like this sadly happen. She had managed to move the vehicle to a safe area and, because it was no more than a few minutes away from the office, we were able to reach the woman without delay. The wrong fuel was removed so she could get back to the Travelodge she was staying at. Although we got fairly wet, it was all worth the time to see her drive away calm and not so anxious. Yet another misfuel correction in Greater Manchester well done in my books!

Services We Offer:

This is what we do best.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Greater Manchester we are discovering more and more examples of AdBlue contamination where someone has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partially caused by people not being aware of the way to work with it (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually right adjacent to one another on the automobile.

Well, what exactly is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Since AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it's as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Moreover, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

Phone us in the event that you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to fix all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is certainly a significant condition to handle in a vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Water inside your diesel or petrol can produce idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied properly, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove when compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both cases fairly simply.

Remember though that if ever the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one will probably be completely wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to a car or truck parking spot we can access the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've performed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir at the back of your garden with unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of private and commercial premises in Greater Manchester for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps some containers in a shed, as long as we can get to it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Littleborough (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a full Greater Manchester Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to refill your vehicle any time you are stranded on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) to fill up your car. They are also able to deal with any of the usual problems which could come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Littleborough - Littleborough Petrol in Diesel

I'd had a wonderful afternoon fishing on my day off and was feeling satisfied the next working day as I headed out to aid a new couple who were holidaying in Littleborough. They had pulled over after adding diesel into their Audi, and the car was around half an hour's travel away. I got there at their position and laughed as I listened to the woman chastising her spouse for actually being so confused. "Exactly how could you actually find a way to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I tried to clarify that this occurs regularly in Greater Manchester and that it's absolutely nothing to be anxious about, nonetheless he still got an earful by his wife. Unlucky lad. At any rate, I drained out all the polluted fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled it up with the correct fuel. Watching while they drove off I mouthed good-bye and wondered what her indoors would ask me if I made the same error... I would personally never live it down!
