Local Call-Out and Roadside Wrong Fuel Repair in Mottram

If you've put the wrong fuel in your car in Mottram (incorrect fuel Mottram) we are the professionals you need to speak to. We cater to the entirety of the Mottram region and all surrounding locations.

It was close to eight pm on a Friday and while we were assured a dry and fresh day, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Ryan and me were sitting talking over the golf rankings, ready for the sixth call that day to arrive. Finally we had a call from a girl on a company excursion who had arrived at the BP filling garage in Mottram and put the wrong fuel in a diesel BMW lease car by mistake. She was somewhat troubled apparently, stating "I can't believe that I have messed up the car! I'm just so familiar with filling my petrol car that I totally did not remember that I was running a diesel!" We advised her to calm down and not to worry, plus that such things sadly often happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle into a protected space and, seeing that it was only a few minutes from us, we could get to the woman fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was taken out and she could go home to the hotel she was living at. Although we got fairly soaked, it was all worth the time to watch her drive away calm and less stressed. Another job in Greater Manchester well done in my opinion!

We can assist you with these mis-fuel problems.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Greater Manchester we have noticed progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination when somebody has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is mostly as a consequence of drivers not knowing how to use it (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right adjacent to one another on the car.

So, exactly what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Since the product is mostly ionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Furthermore, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

In case you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it right away. And of course be careful not to crank the engine - not even to maneuver it off the pump. In case you did start the vehicle you may likely need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's petrol or diesel, can be an important matter to handle in an automobile - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Water in your petrol or diesel may well contribute to idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed correctly, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both cases very swiftly.

Take note however that if ever the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will be wholly water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. So long as the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to parking spot we should be able to reach the tanks and remove the fuel. We've completed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel reservoir laying in the back of your premises with out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few private and industrial premises in Greater Manchester for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even several drums in a shed, if we can reach it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Mottram (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a complete Greater Manchester Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to re-fill your vehicle if you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) and refill your car. They will handle the typical problems that may come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, and even dead batteries caused by over-cranking.
