Here's a list of the wrong fuel services we offer.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Cheshire we are noticing a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination where somebody has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially stemming from drivers not knowing the right way to work with it (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly near to each other on the automobile.

Now, exactly what is the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is actually just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Additionally, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained immediately. And definitely never start up the car - not even to move it to a parking area. In case you have started the car you would almost certainly have to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant issue to deal with in an automobile - especially in current day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel will often cause idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of fully, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove compared to water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can solve both situations rather easily.

Be aware though that if the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the previous one will probably be wholly water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to a car or truck parking spot we will be able to access the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel tank placed in the rear of your garden full of aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many privately owned and business properties in Cheshire for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a few drums in a storage shed, provided that we are able to access it, we could certainly empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Culcheth (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a full Cheshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to fill up the car if you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump prices) and refill the car. They will be able to deal with the common issues which could go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, as well as dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Culcheth - Culcheth Fuel Rescue

A customer had conked out just near a street in Culcheth. His Mitsubishi engine had ceased running and he'd no idea what was awry until eventually he realised he put petrol in his diesel vehicle. He contacted us to request a fuel drain and it was then when he told us: "I cannot believe that I did not detect that I put the incorrect fuel in my vehicle." He stated that he had gotten zero rest the evening before and that could have been the key reason why.
