It was after 6 pm on a Tuesday and even though we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't given up on raining! Dan and me were relaxing there commenting on the weekend's rugby rankings, prepared for the 8th fuel drain to come in. Inevitably we got the call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had pulled into the Texaco filling garage in Red Lumb and filled petrol in her diesel Mitsubishi hire car by mistake. She was pretty agitated apparently, saying "I still cannot believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle I totally didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" We instructed her to take it easy and not to worry, plus that things like this unfortunately happen. She was able to relocate the car to a protected spot and, because it was only a few miles off from our van, we were able to get to the lady right away. The wrong fuel was taken out and she could get back to the Travelodge she was living in. Although we got extremely wet, it was all worth it to watch her drive off relaxed and much less anxious. One more fuel drain in Greater Manchester done well in my books!

Services We Offer:

Assisting you get back on the road is our number 1 goal.

Adding the wrong fuel - Adding petrol fuel to a diesel engine can cause all sorts of problems.

Once that happens, you'll notice your engine to begin coughing or it might stall. You'll see abnormal smoke in the exhaust and starting it back is a problem. If the situation is reverse where diesel is pumped on the petrol engine, the symptoms are still the same. Whichever of the two kinds of fuels, we can get it fixed for you.

Water contamination of your engine - This can rev up your engine and make it thrust or stutter when you accelerate. And even worse, it leads to early rusting of your fuel system. This happens a lot with the boats. It's mainly because people usually use water cans to fuel the boats without draining them properly. The only solution is to drain clean your fuel tank. That's exactly what we can do for you and can even provide replacement filters.

AdBlue in the Diesel Tank - Intentionally done or made by mistake, we can help you fix your engine contaminated with AdBlue. It happens when people don't properly comprehend what it's for. Contrary to what many have claimed that it is an additive, the reality is AdBlue is a liquid that helps minimizethe emission of harmful smoke in your exhaust and this should have a separate tank. Lots of people have been victims of this false belief and we have already fixed them quickly.

Contaminating your tank with red diesel - Red diesel sometimes finds its way into fuel tanks accidentally. It can easily occur if you are distracted or tired, from a filling pump or jerry can, and it's no surprise when the AA says as many as 1500 UK garages sell red diesel. If it happens to you, we'll deal with it fast and proficiently.

Old and unused fuel in your tank - As time passes by, fuel that was stored for a long time of time will have its quality degrade. Using it to your vehicle might give you problems. This old fuel needs to be drained and replaced.

Wrong Fuel Assist Red Lumb - Red Lumb Wrong Fuel Assist

I'd had a terrific evening fishing on my off day and was feeling satisfied the following morning as I was on the way to aid a new family on vacation in Red Lumb. They had pulled over after inserting diesel into their Ford, and the car was around an hour's drive away. I emerged at their position and smirked to myself as I listened to the girl telling her man off for actually being so foolish. "Precisely how could you conceivably find a way to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I tried to explain that this problem happens everyday in Greater Manchester and that it's nothing at all to get worried about, and yet he still got an earful by his better half. Poor chap. Anyhow, I drained the polluted fuel, flushed the motor and filled them up with the correct fuel. While watching them drive off I mouthed so long and considered what her indoors would say to me if ever I did the very same thing... I'd never ever live it down!
