It was before 9 pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ray and me were resting there talking about the weekend's golf, at the ready for the 6th fuel drain that day to arrive. Before long we received a phone call from a young lady on a company excursion who had arrived at the Texaco petrol garage in Hodgehill and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Smart rental in error. The poor lady was quite agitated apparently, crying "I still cannot believe that I have ruined the car! I'm just so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I had did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I advised her to relax and not to fret, also that such things do happen.

Here is a list of the wrong fuel services we provide.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Cheshire we have noticed an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially stemming from people being unsure of the right way to use it (pay attention: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly next to one another on the car.

Now, what is the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Because the product is predominantly ionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Apart from this, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it immediately. And certainly never switch on the engine - not even to maneuver it off the pump. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you will very likely have to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally an important situation to address in a car - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel tank can certainly lead to idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with properly, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to resolve both cases pretty swiftly.

You should know however that if ever the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to an automobile parking spot we will be able to reach the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel tank laying in the back of the garden containing unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several privately owned and business premises in Cheshire to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even several containers in an outbuilding, if we are able to reach it, we are able to empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Hodgehill (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a complete Cheshire Out of Fuel Service. We can come to re-fill the car in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) and fill up the car. They are also able to handle the most common problems which can come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or maybe dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
