It was before 10 pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry and fresh day, it had not stopped raining! Brian and me were sitting going over the recent rugby, at the ready for the seventh telephone call of the day to come in. Eventually we got the call from a lady on a company trip who had pulled into the Tesco petrol garage in Bamford and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Citroen lease car. The unfortunate lady was pretty distressed by the sounds of it, telling me "I still can't believe I've messed up the car! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" I just told her to settle back and not to be concerned, and also that such things unfortunately happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle into a safe area and, since it was no more than a short distance from us, we could get to the woman swiftly. The incorrect fuel was extracted so she was able to go home to the hotel she was lodging in. Despite the fact that we got extremely drenched, it was all worth the time seeing her drive away relaxed and a lot less concerned. Another misfuel correction in Greater Manchester well done in my opinion!

Here's a list of the wrong fuel services we provide.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Greater Manchester we have discovered increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly caused by motorists not knowing the right way to use it (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly near to each other on the car.

So, what is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Since the product is predominantly ionised water, it is just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Additionally, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you put AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it immediately. And of course don't switch on the vehicle - not even to shift it from the pump. If you have started the car you would likely have to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is generally a significant situation to handle in a vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol can cause idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with correctly, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can handle both circumstances rather expediently.

Be aware though that whenever the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one is going to be wholly wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to an automobile parking spot we can gain access to the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel container at the rear of the garden with unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and industrial premises in Greater Manchester for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps several containers in a garage, provided that we are able to access it, we are able to empty it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Bamford (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a full Greater Manchester Run Out of Fuel Service. We will help to fill up your automobile any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) and fill up the car. They are also able to fix the normal troubles that might go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, as well as dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Bamford - Bamford Petrol in Diesel

A motorist had conked out just near a road in Bamford. His Peugeot motor had stopped running and he'd no idea what was awry until eventually he realised he put the wrong fuel in his diesel car. He called us to request a fuel drain and that is when he informed us: "I can not believe that I did not realise that I had put the incorrect fuel in my vehicle." He stated that he had got no sleep the evening before and that must have been precisely why.
