It was about 7 pm on a Monday and although we were assured a dry and fresh day, it hadn't stopped raining! Ryan and I were seated there going over the recent rugby results, at the ready for the next fuel drain to come in. Eventually we received a phone call from a young lady on a company excursion who had pulled into the Tesco petrol garage in Salford and put petrol in a diesel Land Rover rental in error. She was somewhat irritated it seemed, stating "I can not believe I have messed up the car! I'm just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I totally didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I just told her to settle back and not to worry, also that things like this regrettably often happen. She managed to move the vehicle to a protected space and, seeing that it was just a short distance off from the office, we were able to find the lady almost instantly. The bad fuel was drained and she could go home to the Premier Inn she was living at. Even though we got pretty soaked, it was all worth it to see her drive away relaxed and much less apprehensive. A job in Greater Manchester done well in my mind!

We can assist you with these mis-fuel problems.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Greater Manchester we have encountered more and more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partly due to drivers not being totally sure how to use it (be aware: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally right close to each other on the vehicle.

So, what is the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Since the product is mostly ionised water, it is like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Phone us if it turns out you are going through AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to correct all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, tends to be a serious condition to take care of in a motor vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank will trigger idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of properly, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove when compared with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to resolve both circumstances very easily.

Take note that in the event that the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one will likely be totally water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to parking bay we can access the tanks and drain out the fuel. We've carried out many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir at the rear of your garden full of out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several privately owned and industrial properties in Greater Manchester to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or possibly even some drums in a shed, if we are able to reach it, we are able to empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Salford (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a complete Greater Manchester Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to refill your car if you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at cost) and fill your car or truck. They can also fix any of the normal problems which could go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or maybe dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Salford - Salford Vehicle Misfuel

A couple weeks ago a customer called us right after his MINI stopped working in the middle of a road in Salford. He had inadvertently put petrol in his diesel car and got so far as the street before having to stop. It was still early in the morning and our technical engineer, who stays not far away, reached him in less than fifteen minutes. We were able to remove the incorrect fuel and put clean diesel once again in to the car. "Thank you for your timely response, particularly at 1 a.m., I truly appreciate it."
