Listed here are the top services we deliver to our customers.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Greater Manchester we have noticed a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly a result of motorists not being totally sure the way to use it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually right adjacent to each other on the car.

So, what's the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing as the product is mostly deionised water, it's like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Furthermore, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

In case you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained as soon as possible. And absolutely be careful not to crank the car - not even to shift it from the pump. If perhaps you have started the car you will in all likelihood have to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is generally an important matter to address in an automobile - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Having water in your petrol or diesel is likely to produce idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of properly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to drain when compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. However we can resolve both circumstances rather swiftly.

Bear in mind however that any time the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the old one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to parking bay we can reach the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We have undertaken many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

We have been called out to many private and business properties in Greater Manchester for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely.

Wrong Fuel Drain Atherton - Atherton Wrong Fuel

I'd had a fantastic evening golfing during my afternoon off and was feeling satisfied with myself the next morning as I headed out to assist a new couple who were vacationing in Atherton. They stopped after filling petrol in their MINI, and were around an hour's drive away. I got there at their car and smiled to myself while I listened to the wife berating her husband for turning out to be so daft. "Exactly how could you conceivably be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she demanded of him. I wanted to explain that this kind of thing happens constantly in Greater Manchester and that it is absolutely nothing to stress about, however he yet still got his ear bent. I felt genuine sympathy for the chap. Anyhow, I extracted the wrong fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave it some appropriate fuel. As they drove away I shouted farewell and wondered what her indoors would ask me if perhaps I did the same thing... I'd personally never hear the end of it!
