Our Areas of Expertise :

Here is a list of the incorrect fuel services we provide.

AdBlue Contamination

In Greater Manchester we have seen progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination where a person has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially stemming from people not knowing the right way to to make use of (pay attention: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly adjacent to one another on the car.

Now, what is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing that the product is primarily deionised water, it's like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Moreover, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

If you put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained as quickly as possible. And certainly be careful not to start the vehicle - not even to maneuver it into a parking spot. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you will likely have to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is petrol or diesel, is actually an important situation to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Having water in fuel may well result in idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with fully, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of compared to water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to take care of both situations pretty simply.

Keep in mind however that so long as the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one is going to be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we should be able to reach the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

We've been called out to numerous domestic and industrial premises in Greater Manchester to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages.

We're able to get out to fill up your automobile in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at your home.
