It was after six pm on a Thursday and even though we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Ray and I were resting commenting on the weekend's footy, waiting for the 6th fuel drain for the day to arrive. In due time we received a phone call from a lady on a business expedition who had arrived at the Tesco filling garage in Woolfold and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Peugeot hire car in error. She was very agitated by the sounds of it, telling me "I cannot believe that I have ruined the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle I completely didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I advised her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and that things like this unfortunately often happen. She had managed to maneuver the car into a secure area and, because it was only a few minutes from us, we were able to find the lady fairly quickly. The bad fuel was removed and she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was lodging in. Despite the fact we got very soaked, it was all worth the effort to see her drive home contented and a lot less concerned. Another job in Greater Manchester done well in my books!

AdBlue In Diesel

In Greater Manchester we have identified increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part thanks to people not being totally sure the right way to to make use of (be aware: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

So, what exactly is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? As AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

Contact us if you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to attend to different types of AdBlue contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant situation to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel tank will likely bring about idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed effectively, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of compared to water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to handle both circumstances pretty easily.

Remember however that as long as the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to an automobile parking spot we can reach the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have undertaken many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

We have been called out to a number of domestic and business properties in Greater Manchester for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages.
