It was after eight pm on a Wednesday and though we were guaranteed a rainless day, it had not stopped pouring! Ryan and I were sitting talking about the weekend's golf, prepared for the next call that day to come in. In due time we had a phone call from a woman on a business expedition who had gone to the Tesco petrol station in Bickley and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Lexus rental by mistake. She was pretty irritated it seemed, saying "I still cannot believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm so used to filling my petrol car that I completely forgot that I was running a diesel!" We advised her to settle back and not to worry, also that these things unfortunately can happen. She managed to move the car into a protected spot and, since it was no more than a short distance away from our van, we were able to reach the customer fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was drained and she was able to go home to the Premier Inn she was staying at. Although we got pretty wet, it was all worthwhile to see her drive off relaxed and less apprehensive. A job in Cheshire well done in my books!

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Cheshire we are noticing a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination when a driver has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partially stemming from drivers not being aware of the way to to make use of (important: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? As the product is primarily ionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you put AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it as soon as possible. And obviously take care not to turn over the vehicle - not even to move it off the pump. In the event that you did start the vehicle you would very likely need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is certainly an important condition to handle in an automobile - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel tank will lead to idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed properly, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to clean out than water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can handle both situations fairly simply.

Take note though that if ever the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will likely be completely wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to a car or truck parking spot we should be able to reach the tanks and remove the fuel. We've carried out numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel tank placed at the rear of your garden containing old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of private and business premises in Cheshire to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered 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 an underground container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even some containers in a garage, assuming that we can access it, we are able to drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Bickley (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a complete Cheshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to fill up your car if you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) and fill up your car or truck. They can also take care of the typical issues that may come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Bickley - Bickley Vehicle Misfuel

I'd had a perfect afternoon hiking during my holiday and felt satisfied the following morning as I was on the way to aid a young family on vacation in Bickley. They had conked out after filling diesel in their Mazda, and they were roughly an hour away. I arrived at their position and smiled while I heard to the woman berating her hubby for actually being so stupid. "Exactly how could you even be able to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I tried to tell her that this kind of thing goes on frequently in Cheshire and that it's in reality nothing at all to stress about, even so he in spite of everything got an earful. Poor lad. In any case, I removed the polluted fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled them up with the correct fuel. While watching them drive away I shouted hasta la vista and considered what her indoors would tell me if I did the very same thing... I would personally never hear the end of it!
