It was around eight pm on a Thursday and while we were assured a rainless night, it hadn't given up on raining! James and I were seated there talking over the weekend's golf, waiting for the seventh fuel drain that day to come in. Finally we received the call from a girl on a business trip who had gone to the Tesco filling station in Farnworth and put petrol in a diesel Volkswagen rental car. The unfortunate lady was rather agitated by the sounds of it, crying "I simply cannot believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I completely didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" I just advised her to take it easy and not to fret, and that these things unfortunately can happen. She had managed to get the car to a safe spot and, seeing as it was just a short distance from us, we could arrive at her without delay. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was residing in. Although we got extremely soaked, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive off relaxed and much less concerned. A misfuel correction in Cheshire well done in my opinion!

Services We Provide:

Here's a list of the incorrect fuel services we deliver.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Cheshire we are noticing progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent a result of people not being aware of the right way to use it (note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally right close to each other on the car.

Well, exactly what is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing as the product is mainly ionised water, it's almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition to this, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

In case you end up in this predicament do not panic! Call us, the UK?s Number one fuel contamination business. Our engineers possess the practical expertise and working experience to get you back on your way promptly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is usually a significant matter to address in a motor vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel will likely trigger idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of correctly, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove as compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both cases quite swiftly.

Bear in mind however that as long as the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted since the previous one will be totally water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have carried out numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel reservoir sitting at the rear of your premises containing old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and commercial properties in Cheshire to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps a number of drums in a storage shed, if we are able to get to it, we can empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Farnworth (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a full Cheshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to refill your automobile any time you are stranded on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) to fill up the car. They can also fix the typical issues that can go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue Farnworth - Farnworth Petrol in Diesel

I appreciated a terrific day fishing during my holiday and was feeling delighted with myself the next day as I was en route to aid a young family who were vacationing in Farnworth. They stopped after putting petrol into their BMW, and were about an hour's drive away. I showed up at their car and smiled while I listened to the gal telling her partner off for actually being so daft. "Precisely how could you even be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she said to him. I tried to explain that this situation goes on on a regular basis in Cheshire and that it's nothing to stress about, even so he all the same had his ear bent. Unfortunate lad. Anyways, I removed the wrong fuel, flushed the engine and filled it up with the proper fuel. Watching them drive off I waved good-bye and wondered what my wife would ask me if ever I did the exact same thing... I'd never ever live it down!
