It was before 5 pm on a Wednesday and even though we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it hadn't ceased raining! Dan and me were relaxing there talking over the golf rankings, at the ready for the sixth job for the day to arrive. Inevitably we had the phone call from a lady on a company expedition who had gone to the BP petrol garage in Openshaw and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Nissan hire car. She was quite irritated by the sounds of it, crying "I still cannot believe I've messed up the vehicle! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol car that I totally forgot I was running a diesel!" We instructed her to relax and not to worry, also that such things regrettably happen. She was able to move the car to a secure spot and, since it was just a few minutes off from the office, we could find the lady fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was drained and she could once again go back to the Travelodge she was lodging in. Even though we got thoroughly wet, it was all rewarding seeing her drive home relaxed and less stressed. One more fuel drain in Greater Manchester well done in my mind!

Listed below are our top services we offer to our customers.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Greater Manchester we are finding an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent as a result of motorists not being aware of the right way to to make use of (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly next to one another on the automobile.

Now, precisely what is the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing that the product is mostly ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Also, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

If you find you put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it drained at once. And certainly do not switch on the vehicle - not even to move it into a parking place. In the event that you have started the car you may very likely have to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is generally an important condition to address in a car - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Having water in petrol or diesel is likely to produce idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out correctly, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can take care of both cases very swiftly.

Bear in mind that any time the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the previous one will likely be totally water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to a car or truck parking spot we will be able to access the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel container lying in the back of the garden containing old, unusable or degraded fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many privately owned and industrial properties in Greater Manchester to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps numerous containers in a shed, provided that we can access it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Openshaw (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a comprehensive Greater Manchester Run Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to re-fill your automobile if you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at cost) and fill your car. They are also able to fix any of the usual troubles which may go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe dead batteries caused by over-cranking.
