It was around 6 pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry night, it hadn't stopped raining! Brian and I were seated talking over the recent footy rankings, at the ready for the seventh job for the day to come in. In due time we had the phone call from a young lady on a business excursion who had arrived at the Texaco filling station in Stalybridge and filled petrol in a diesel Renault lease car in error. She was somewhat troubled it seemed, crying "I just can't believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just instructed her to relax and not to worry, and also that these things regrettably often happen. She managed to get the vehicle into a protected position and, seeing that it was just a short distance away from our van, we could reach the lady without delay.

Our Services:

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

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Greater Manchester we have found more and more cases of AdBlue contamination where a person has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mainly stemming from drivers not knowing the way to use it (pay attention: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right near to each other on the automobile.

Well, exactly what is the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it's as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

In the case you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out right away. And absolutely take care not to turn over the car - not even to shift it from the pump. If you did start the vehicle you will most likely need to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question an important issue to handle in a vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines. Water in your petrol or diesel can lead to idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of correctly, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain as compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to take care of both situations pretty quickly.

Remember that if the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one will be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to a car parking spot we should be able to gain access to the storage and drain out the fuel. We've completed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir placed in the rear of the garden with unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few domestic 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 remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a number of containers in an outbuilding, as long as we can get to it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Stalybridge (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a comprehensive Greater Manchester Run Out of Fuel Service. We can come to fill up your vehicle in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) to fill up your vehicle. They can also fix the most common troubles which might come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to start, as well as dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.
