It was just before 7 pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry day, it had not stopped raining! Brian and I were sitting commenting on the weekend's footy rankings, prepared for the seventh job that day to come in. In due time we received a phone call from a woman on a business expedition who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling garage in Bate Heath and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Mercedes rental. The poor thing was very irritated by the sounds of it, crying "I still can't believe I've ruined the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I completely didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" I just asked her to settle back and not to fret, plus that these things regrettably do happen. She had managed to move the vehicle to a secure position and, seeing that it was only a few minutes off from us, we were able to reach her without delay. The wrong fuel was extracted and she could go home to the motel she was living at. Despite the fact that we got really soaked, it was all worthwhile to see her drive away contented and a lot less concerned. Another misfuel correction in Cheshire done well in my mind!

Do you or your drivers usually misfuel your vehicle? We can solve any connected issues.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Cheshire we are encountering a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly thanks to motorists being unsure of how to use it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually right close to one another on the automobile.

So, what exactly is the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? As the product is mainly deionised water, it's as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Furthermore, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

If you put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out at once. And certainly be careful not to turn over the car - not even to move it away from the pump. In cases where you did start the vehicle you may most likely have to have the complete fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, tends to be an important condition to handle in an automobile - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water in the petrol or diesel will likely trigger idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of properly, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove in comparison with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. However we can take care of both circumstances rather simply.

Bear in mind that as long as the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one is going to be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to a vehicle parking bay we are able to access the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel reservoir lying in the back of your premises full of unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several privately owned and commercial premises in Cheshire to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even several containers in a shed, provided that we are able to reach it, we can drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Bate Heath (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a full Cheshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to refill your vehicle any time you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump price) and refill your car or truck. They are also able to deal with any of the standard issues that could come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Bate Heath - Bate Heath Vehicle Misfuel

A man had broken down just off a street in Bate Heath. His Fiat car had stopped running and he had no clue what was the problem right up until he realised he had put unleaded in his diesel car. He phoned us to get a fuel drain and that's when he said to us: "I can't believe that I did not detect that I put the incorrect fuel in my car." He said that he had gotten very little rest the day before and that could have been the reason.
