It was close to ten pm on a Thursday and while we were promised a rainless evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Mark and I were seated there discussing the recent sports rankings, waiting around for the sixth fuel drain to come in. In due time we got a phone call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had gone to the Shell filling garage in Newtonia and put petrol in a diesel Mercedes lease car. She was very agitated it seemed, saying "I can't believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I am just so used to filling up my petrol car I had did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I just told her to relax and not to be concerned, and that things like this regrettably happen. She had managed to move the vehicle into a secure spot and, seeing that it was just a few minutes away from the office, we were able to arrive at the customer right away.

Do you or your employees frequently misfuel your vehicle? We can solve any related problems.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Cheshire we have identified an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially as a result of motorists not being aware of the right way to work with it (important: it is actually not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly next to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what's the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? As the product is mostly deionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Additionally, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And most certainly do not switch on the vehicle - not even to shift it into a parking area. In the event that you have started the vehicle you may very likely need to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is generally a serious situation to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Having water in the petrol or diesel may lead to idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of correctly, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both cases quite swiftly.

You should know though that as long as the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will likely be totally wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or secured near to parking bay we should be able to reach the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel container sitting at the back of your premises containing out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many private and industrial properties in Cheshire to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even numerous drums in a storage shed, assuming that we are able to access it, we can empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Newtonia (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a full Cheshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can come to refill your car in cases where you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at pump prices) to fill up your vehicle. They can also deal with any of the standard problems that may accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even flat batteries because of over-cranking.
