It was after 8 pm on a Thursday and although we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not ceased pouring! James and me were seated talking over the recent rugby, prepared for the sixth telephone call that day to arrive. Inevitably we received a call from a woman on a business trip who had arrived at the Texaco filling station in Little Barrow and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Volvo lease car. The unfortunate lady was pretty affected apparently, telling me "I simply can't believe that I have ruined the car! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol car I completely forgot I was running a diesel!" I told her to relax and not to fret, plus that such things happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle to a secure position and, since it was only a short distance off from us, we were able to arrive at the lady almost instantly. The bad fuel was extracted and she could get back to the Travelodge she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got fairly wet, it was all worthwhile to see her drive off relaxed and less stressed. A fuel drain in Cheshire done well in my opinion!

Our Areas of Competency :

Do you or your drivers usually misfuel your car? We can solve any associated problems.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Cheshire we are identifying progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination when somebody has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is in part a result of drivers not knowing how to use it (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right near to each other on the automobile.

Well, what is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing that the product is mainly deionised water, it's as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Apart from this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

In case you put AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it as quickly as possible. And definitely never switch on the vehicle - not even to maneuver it off of the pump. If you did start the vehicle you would almost certainly need to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant situation to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water in diesel or petrol can easily cause idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied fully, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain as compared with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can solve both situations fairly simply.

Be aware that as long as the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one will be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. So long as the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to a car parking spot we should be able to reach the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel reservoir sitting at the back of the garden full of unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several private and business properties in Cheshire for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even numerous containers in an outbuilding, assuming that we can access it, we can empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Little Barrow (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a full Cheshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to refill your automobile in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) and refill your car. They are also able to deal with the normal troubles which can go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to start, as well as flat batteries caused by over-cranking.
