It was around eight pm on a Friday and even though we were assured a dry and fresh night, it had not given up on raining! Ray and me were resting there going over the recent football rankings, ready for the 8th call for the day to arrive. Inevitably we had a call from a young lady on a company expedition who had pulled into the BP filling station in Wythenshawe and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Land Rover lease car in error. The unfortunate lady was fairly irritated it seemed, telling me "I simply cannot believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I totally didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just asked her to relax and not to worry, plus that such things unfortunately happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle to a secure area and, as it was no more than a few miles from the office, we could arrive at the woman rather quickly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was living at. Despite the fact we got very drenched, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive away calm and a lot less anxious. One more fuel drain in Greater Manchester well done in my mind!

Our Areas of Competence :

Do you or your employees frequently misfuel your vehicle? We can resolve any connected problems.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Greater Manchester we are discovering progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination when someone has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to a degree stemming from motorists being unsure of how to work with it (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly adjacent to one another on the car.

Now, what exactly is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Because the product is predominantly ionised water, it is like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Also, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you put AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it right away. And definitely be careful not to start up the motor - not even to maneuver it into a parking spot. If you have started the car you will probably need to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's petrol or diesel, is without question a serious situation to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel can produce idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out fully, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out compared to water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. However we can take care of both cases quite expediently.

Bear in mind though that in the event that the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to an automobile parking bay we are able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have performed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

We've been called out to numerous domestic and industrial properties in Greater Manchester for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages.

We are able to get out to fill up the car in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at home.
