It was before seven pm on a Thursday and while we were promised a rainless day, it had not given up on pouring down rain! Ray and me were sitting talking about the golf, waiting for the sixth fuel drain of the day to arrive. In due time we received a phone call from a lovely women on a company expedition who had arrived at the Shell petrol garage in Westhoughton and put petrol in a diesel Lexus hire car in error. The poor lady was rather agitated apparently, telling me "I still cannot believe that I have ruined the vehicle! I'm so used to filling up my petrol vehicle I had forgot that I was using a diesel!" I instructed her to take it easy and not to fret, and that these things sadly happen. She had managed to move the car into a protected position and, seeing as it was just a few miles off from us, we could find the customer without delay. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to return to the motel she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got extremely drenched, it was all worth the time to watch her drive away calm and less anxious. A misfuel correction in Greater Manchester done well in my mind!

Services Our Company Offers:

Listed below are our top services we offer to our customers.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

What you should do in the event that you may have poured Adblue into a Diesel fuel tank? AdBlue is a liquid that is made out of a mix of high-purity urea (32.5%) and ionized water (67.5%).It is definitely harmful to your car's fuel system, specifically if you run the engine with Adblue in the tank. Whenever the engine has been switched on the Adblue will likely be injected into the fuel lines and will rapidly begin to crystalise, leading to serious and costly damage to your vehicle's fuel system.

If you find you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And most certainly take care not to switch on the vehicle - not even to maneuver it to a parking area. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you will very likely need to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious issue to deal with in a car - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Having water in your petrol or diesel can lead to idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of fully, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to handle both situations rather swiftly.

Keep in mind that as long as the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the old one is going to be totally water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to an automobile parking bay we should be able to reach the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken many fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel container at the rear of the garden with unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to numerous private and business properties in Greater Manchester for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a few drums in a garage, assuming that we are able to get to it, we can empty it.

Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Westhoughton (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a full Greater Manchester Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to re-fill the car any time you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at cost) and refill your vehicle. They will be able to fix the common problems that can accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, and even flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue Westhoughton - Westhoughton Fuel Drain

A motorist had stopped just near a road in Westhoughton. His Chevrolet car had stopped operating and he'd no idea what was faulty until he realised he put the wrong fuel in his diesel car. He called us to request a fuel drain and that is when he said to us: "I can't believe that I didn't detect that I had put the wrong fuel in my vehicle." He claimed that he had got very little sleep the night before and that must have been the reason.
