If you've unfortunately put the incorrect fuel in your car and immediately have to have the wrong fuel removed you are likely scanning the net hoping for a swift, trustworthy, expert and cost-effective wrong fuel removal company in Handley or Cheshire. We are the contractor suitable for you!

It was close to ten pm on a Saturday and although we were assured a dry night, it had not ceased pouring! Paul and me were resting discussing the weekend's golf rankings, ready for the sixth telephone call to arrive. Eventually we received the call from a woman on a company expedition who had arrived at the Tesco filling station in Handley and filled petrol in her diesel Smart lease car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was very irritated apparently, stating "I can't believe I have ruined the car! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle I totally did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just asked her to relax and not to worry, also that these things sadly happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle into a protected spot and, seeing as it was just a short distance away from the office, we could find the lady swiftly. The incorrect fuel was extracted and she could return to the motel she was living at. Although we got fairly wet, it was all rewarding to see her drive away relaxed and less apprehensive. One more job in Cheshire well done in my mind!

Below are the top services we deliver to our clients.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Cheshire we are identifying an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a person has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly thanks to drivers not being aware of the right way to to make use of (pay attention: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly near to one another on the car.

Now, what's the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing that AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Also, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

If you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it as soon as possible. And obviously take care not to switch on the motor - not even to relocate it to a parking area. In the event that you did start the car you would most likely need to have the whole fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is without question a significant matter to handle in a vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel is going to produce idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with correctly, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove as compared to water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can handle both situations quite simply.

Remember however that so long as the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one will probably be completely water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to parking spot we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We have succesfully done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir placed in the back of your garden containing out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several private and industrial premises in Cheshire for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps numerous containers in a garage, if we can reach it, we can certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Handley (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a comprehensive Cheshire Out of Fuel Service. We can help to fill up your car in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) and refill your car or truck. They are also able to deal with any of the typical issues that might go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.
