It was after 10 pm on a Friday and even though we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Ray and I were relaxing going over the weekend's footy rankings, ready for the 6th telephone call to come in. Eventually we got the call from a lovely women on a business excursion who had arrived at the BP petrol station in Westhoughton and filled petrol in her diesel Audi lease car. The poor thing was rather troubled by the sounds of it, crying "I just can't believe I've destroyed the car! I'm just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot I was operating a diesel!" We advised her to take it easy and not to fret, also that these things regrettably do happen. She managed to move the car to a protected space and, as it was just a short distance from the office, we could get to her swiftly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could once again go back to the motel she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive off contented and not so concerned. Yet another fuel drain in Greater Manchester done well in my opinion!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Greater Manchester we have seen more and more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is partly thanks to people being unsure of the way to to make use of (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right close to each other on the automobile.

Well, what is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing that the product is mainly deionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

If you discover youself to be in this position do not fret or panic! Contact us, the UK?s Number one fuel contamination company. Our technicians have the specialised competence and experience to get you back on the road quickly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious condition to deal with in an automobile - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel can produce idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed properly, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both cases quite simply.

Be aware that so long as the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will probably be wholly wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to an automobile parking bay we can access the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Petrol in Diesel Westhoughton - Westhoughton Fuel Drain

A man phoned us from his house on a street in Westhoughton. He said, "My vehicle (a SEAT) is not running and is making awful sounds when I flip the key." He admitted that he had put petrol in his diesel vehicle but then imagined he would resolve the issue by putting extra Diesel on top. We showed up quickly, performed the drain and filled him up again with untainted Diesel. He told us after that he'd be certain to inform people not to fill up on top of the wrong fuel but to have it cleaned out immediately.
