Wrong fuel in your car in Paddockhill? You've come to the right place. We are here to aid you in this situatiuon and get you going again with our specialist fuel removal service.

It was about 8 pm on a Monday and although we were promised a rainless night, it hadn't given up on raining! Brian and I were resting there talking about the footy results, ready for the seventh job of the day to come in. Inevitably we got the call from a lady on a company excursion who had pulled into the Shell petrol garage in Paddockhill and put petrol in a diesel Skoda hire car in error. She was rather distressed apparently, stating "I simply cannot believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm so used to filling my petrol car that I had did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I just instructed her to relax and not to fret, plus that things like this unfortunately happen. She managed to get the vehicle into a secure position and, seeing as it was no more than a few minutes off from us, we could find the lady right away. The incorrect fuel was extracted so she could once again go back to the Travelodge she was residing at. Despite the fact we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worth it to watch her drive away contented and a lot less apprehensive. Yet another job in Cheshire well done in my books!

This is what we do best.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Cheshire we are encountering increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a driver has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent caused by motorists not knowing the right way to to make use of (important: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right next to each other on the car.

Now, exactly what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Since AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it's like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Also, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out immediately. And definitely take care not to switch on the vehicle - not even to move it into a parking place. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you may likely need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is actually a serious condition to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel is going to produce idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of properly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove in comparison with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we can solve both circumstances rather expediently.

You should know though that if the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will undoubtedly be wholly water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to parking spot we can gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have undertaken many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank laying at the back of your garden with unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many private and commercial properties in Cheshire to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or even a few drums in a storage shed, providing we are able to reach it, we are able to empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Paddockhill (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a complete Cheshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will come to re-fill the car in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) to fill the car. They are also able to take care of any of the most common troubles that could go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Paddockhill - Paddockhill Fuel Removal

A couple of days ago a driver phoned us when his Land Rover stopped along a road in Paddockhill. He had mistakenly put petrol in his diesel motor and got to the road before having to pull over. It was yet early in the morning and our engineer, who lives close by, got to him in less than ten minutes. We were able to drain the incorrect fuel and put clean diesel yet again in the vehicle. "Genuine thanks to you for your fast response, and in particular at 6 a.m., I appreciate it."
