It was after eight pm on a Monday and while we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Dan and I were sitting there commenting on the recent tennis results, at the ready for the seventh call that day to come in. In due time we received a call from a lady on a company excursion who had arrived at the Tesco filling station in Disley and put petrol in her diesel Renault lease car. She was somewhat irritated by the sounds of it, crying "I simply can't believe I have wrecked the car! I'm just so familiar with filling my petrol car that I totally forgot I was operating a diesel!" I told her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and also that these things happen. She managed to move the car to a secure area and, as it was only a few minutes away from our van, we could find the lady without delay. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to go home to the motel she was living at. Although we got really drenched, it was all rewarding to see her drive off contented and a lot less stressed. A job in Greater Manchester well done in my opinion!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Greater Manchester we are finding a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to a degree as a consequence of people being unsure of the right way to use it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly adjacent to one another on the automobile.

Now, what is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Additionally, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained immediately. And obviously be careful not to start up the vehicle - not even to relocate it off of the pump. If you did start the vehicle you will likely have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a significant situation to address in a car - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your petrol or diesel may well lead to idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out properly, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to handle both circumstances fairly simply.

You should know that in the event that the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the old one will likely be thoroughly wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to an automobile parking spot we will be able to gain access to the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel container sitting at the back of the garden containing unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous private and commercial premises in Greater Manchester for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even a number of drums in a storage shed, if we are able to access it, we can empty it.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Disley (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a full Greater Manchester Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to refill your car if you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at pump price) and fill your car or truck. They can also fix any of the usual problems that may go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, as well as flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.
