It was before 8 pm on a Tuesday and while we were assured a dry evening, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Paul and I were resting there discussing the recent tennis, waiting around for the next fuel drain that day to arrive. Inevitably we received the call from a lovely women on a business trip who had gone to the Shell petrol station in Longford and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Volvo rental. The unfortunate lady was somewhat troubled apparently, crying "I can't believe I have ruined the car! I am just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle I had did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I just instructed her to relax and not to be concerned, and also that things like this sadly often happen. She was able to get the vehicle into a safe area and, seeing that it was no more than a short distance off from where we were, we could arrive at the woman quickly. The wrong fuel was drained so she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was staying in. Even though we got really wet, it was all worth the time seeing her drive off relaxed and a lot less apprehensive. One more fuel drain in Cheshire well done in my mind!

Our Areas of Competency :

Listed below are our top services we offer to our customers.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Cheshire we have encountered progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is partly a result of motorists being unsure of the way to use it (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing that AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

In the case you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And most certainly do not start up the engine - not even to relocate it off the pump. In the event that you have started the car you would likely have to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important issue to address in a motor vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water inside your fuel is going to trigger idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied correctly, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove than water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both cases rather swiftly.

You should know however that if the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one is going to be completely water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to an automobile parking spot we are able to gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've carried out numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got an old fuel tank lying at the back of your premises full of old, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous domestic and commercial premises in Cheshire to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps numerous drums in a storage shed, assuming that we can get to it, we can certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Longford (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a complete Cheshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to fill up the car any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at pump price) to fill your vehicle. They are also able to fix any of the standard issues that can go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe dead batteries caused by over-cranking.
