It was just after seven pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry evening, it hadn't given up on pouring! Mark and me were seated discussing the weekend's tennis rankings, prepared for the 8th telephone call that day to come in. Inevitably we got a phone call from a girl on a company expedition who had gone to the Shell petrol garage in Abram and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Land Rover hire car in error. The poor lady was fairly distressed it seemed, saying "I can not believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol car that I had didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I instructed her to relax and not to worry, also that these things sadly happen. She was able to maneuver the car into a safe spot and, seeing that it was only a short distance away from where we were, we could arrive at the woman almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was extracted and she could get back to the hotel she was living at. Despite the fact that we got really drenched, it was all worth it to watch her drive off satisfied and a lot less concerned. A fuel drain in Greater Manchester well done in my books!

AdBlue Contamination

All around Greater Manchester we are finding a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is partially thanks to motorists being unsure of the way to work with it (remember: it is actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually right close to one another on the car.

Now, precisely what is the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Since AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Apart from this, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

Phone us if it turns out you are affected by AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can easily fix all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, can be a significant matter to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your fuel can bring about idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of properly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain than water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both cases rather easily.

Remember that if ever the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will be completely water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or secured close to parking bay we should be able to access the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We've succesfully done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank laying in the rear of your garden containing aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many privately owned and commercial properties in Greater Manchester for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or possibly even a number of containers in an outbuilding, as long as we are able to access it, we are able to empty it.

Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Abram (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a complete Greater Manchester Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to refill your vehicle in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump prices) to refill your car or truck. They are also able to fix any of the typical problems that can go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Abram - Abram Fuel Removal

I had enjoyed a fantastic evening cycling during the weekend and was feeling pleased the following morning as I was on the way to help a new family holidaying in Abram. They had pulled over after putting petrol into their Volvo, and the car was close to an hour's travel away. I got there at their position and laughed to myself while I heard to the gal berating her partner for turning out to be so foolish. "How could you actually find a way to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I attempted to tell her that this kind of thing takes place constantly in Greater Manchester and that it is nothing to stress about, but he all the same had an ear bashing by his missus. I felt genuine sympathy for the lad. In any case, I removed all of the contaminated fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled them up with the appropriate fuel. While they drove off I mouthed good bye and considered what my missus would do to me if I did the very same thing... I'd personally never live it down!
