It was just before seven pm on a Monday and though we were assured a dry and fresh night, it had not given up on raining! Brian and me were relaxing there discussing the football rankings, prepared for the 6th call that day to arrive. Eventually we received a call from a girl on a business expedition who had arrived at the Shell petrol station in Gibb Hill and filled petrol in a diesel Skoda rental. The poor thing was fairly irritated by the sounds of it, saying "I still can't believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car that I had did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just advised her to relax and not to worry, and that such things regrettably do happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle into a safe position and, seeing that it was no more than a few minutes away from us, we could arrive at the woman right away. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to once again go back to the motel she was residing in. Despite the fact we got fairly wet, it was all rewarding to see her drive away calm and less anxious. A job in Cheshire done well in my opinion!

These are the fuel mistakes services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Cheshire we are noticing a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent as a result of drivers not being aware of the right way to use it (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly near to one another on the automobile.

So, precisely what is the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Additionally, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

If you put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out right away. And most definitely take care not to start up the motor - not even to relocate it off the pump. In the event that you did start the vehicle you would likely need to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly an important condition to take care of in a vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Water inside your diesel or petrol can certainly bring about idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied properly, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out as compared to water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can handle both circumstances fairly quickly.

Bear in mind that whenever the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter to be installed since the previous one will undoubtedly be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to a car or truck parking spot we should be able to gain access to the tanks and drain out the fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel tank laying in the rear of your garden full of unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of domestic and industrial properties in Cheshire to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a number of containers in a garage, as long as we can access it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Gibb Hill (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a full Cheshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to re-fill your car in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at pump price) to fill up your automobile. They can also handle the usual problems which could go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
