Incorrect fuel in your car in Radcliffe? You've come to the right place. We are here to aid you in this time of need and get you going again with our professional fuel drain assistance.

It was close to six pm on a Thursday and though we were assured a dry evening, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Paul and me were seated there discussing the football, waiting around for the seventh call to arrive. Inevitably we got a call from a girl on a company trip who had arrived at the Esso petrol garage in Radcliffe and filled petrol in a diesel MG lease car in error. The unfortunate thing was very affected by the sounds of it, telling me "I still cannot believe I've ruined the car! I'm so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I completely didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" I just instructed her to take it easy and not to worry, plus that things like this sadly do happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle to a safe position and, as it was just a few minutes from our van, we could reach the woman fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was removed and she was able to return to the hotel she was residing at. Despite the fact we got extremely wet, it was all worth the time to see her drive off satisfied and not so apprehensive. Another job in Greater Manchester done well in my mind!

If you've put the incorrect fuel in the vehicle and one way or another succeeded to get it home or have broken down by the roadside - we can certainly help you out. Our service plan is entirely mobile and we are able to come out irrespective of where you are and have the automobile drained, flushed and working again very quickly - and for an affordable price!

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Greater Manchester we are discovering progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially caused by drivers being unsure of the way to use it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right close to one another on the car.

Well, what's the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Because the product is primarily deionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

In case you put AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it at once. And absolutely do not crank the engine - not even to shift it into a parking bay. In cases where you did start the car you will in all probability need to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is actually a significant matter to address in an automobile - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water in fuel tank may well bring about idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out correctly, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out than water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both cases rather easily.

Remember though that in the event that the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will be wholly wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to a vehicle parking spot we will be able to gain access to the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've carried out numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container laying at the back of the garden containing unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and commercial premises in Greater Manchester to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps numerous containers in a storage shed, providing we can reach it, we can empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Radcliffe (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a full Greater Manchester Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to re-fill your automobile any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at pump prices) and fill up your car. They can also fix the normal issues which might go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to start, as well as flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.
