It was around 6 pm on a Wednesday and even though we were assured a rainless evening, it hadn't ceased raining! Ray and I were resting talking about the golf rankings, ready for the seventh job to arrive. Before long we had a phone call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had pulled into the BP filling station in Westhoughton and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Land Rover rental by mistake. The poor thing was pretty irritated apparently, saying "I simply can't believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling my petrol car I completely forgot I was using a diesel!" We instructed her to calm down and not to fret, and also that things like this unfortunately can happen. She managed to get the vehicle to a safe area and, seeing as it was just a few miles off from where we were, we could find the customer quickly. The bad fuel was drained so she could go home to the Premier Inn she was residing at. Although we got really soaked, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive away calm and not so apprehensive.

Our Areas of Expertise :

Do you or your drivers usually misfuel your car? We can resolve any related problems.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Greater Manchester we are finding a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination where someone has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to a degree as a consequence of drivers not being totally sure the way to to make use of (take note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right adjacent to each other on the car.

So, what exactly is the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Since AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Moreover, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

If in case you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And of course don't crank the car - not even to relocate it off the pump. In the event that you have started the vehicle you will probably have to have the full fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious situation to address in a vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in your petrol or diesel is likely to result in idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not taken care of correctly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain when compared with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both cases pretty expediently.

Bear in mind though that if the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one will likely be wholly wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to parking spot we are able to gain access to the tanks and remove the fuel. We have done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have a fuel reservoir sitting at the back of your garden full of out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and commercial premises in Greater Manchester for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a number of drums in a shed, as long as we can access it, we can empty it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Westhoughton (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a full Greater Manchester Run Out of Fuel Service. We will come to re-fill your vehicle in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at home.
