Finally we received a phone call from a woman on a company trip who had gone to the BP filling station in Ashton-in-Makerfield and filled petrol in a diesel Nissan rental in error. The unfortunate thing was very agitated it seemed, telling me "I still can't believe that I've destroyed the vehicle!

We are all set to take the wrong fuel job.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Greater Manchester we have seen a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when someone has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent a result of people being unsure of the way to to make use of (important: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally right adjacent to each other on the automobile.

So, exactly what is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Because AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Furthermore, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

In case you end up in this predicament don?t fret or panic! Contact us, the UK?s Best fuel contamination company. Our technicians possess the specialised knowledge and experience to have you back on your way promptly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's petrol or diesel, is certainly a significant issue to address in a vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel tank is going to lead to idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with fully, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of compared to water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both circumstances fairly expediently.

Remember though that whenever the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to a car or truck parking spot we can reach the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We have undertaken many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Wrong Fuel Assist Ashton-in-Makerfield - Ashton-in-Makerfield Fuel Rescue

I had appreciated a terrific evening fishing on my off day and felt contented the following morning as I headed out to help a young couple who were holidaying in Ashton-in-Makerfield. They broken down after adding petrol into their Land Rover, and the car was around an hour's drive away. I arrived at their car and laughed while I listened to the lady telling off her partner for actually being so confused. "Just how could you conceivably be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she told him. I tried to tell her that this happens continuously in Greater Manchester and that it's actually nothing to get worried about, nevertheless he still had an earful. Poor chap. At any rate, I cleaned up and removed all the contaminated fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave it some correct fuel. While watching them drive off I shouted good-bye and thought about what my missus would do to me if ever I made the exact same mistake... I would personally never live it down!
