It was about five pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry evening, it had not stopped pouring! James and I were sitting there commenting on the recent tennis, waiting around for the next job that day to arrive. Finally we had the phone call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had gone to the Tesco filling station in Somerford and filled petrol in a diesel Nissan lease car in error. She was pretty agitated it seemed, telling me "I still cannot believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I am so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I totally forgot that I was running a diesel!"

We are all set to take the wrong fuel job.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Cheshire we are encountering more and more examples of AdBlue contamination where somebody has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is in part caused by drivers being unsure of how to to make use of (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right close to each other on the automobile.

Well, exactly what is the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? As the product is predominantly deionised water, it's as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Moreover, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Phone us if it turns out you are affected by AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can correct all kinds of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be an important issue to address in a vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel may contribute to idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of fully, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain when compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. However we can resolve both circumstances fairly expediently.

You should know though that in the event that the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will be wholly wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have carried out numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir laying at the back of the garden full of unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and commercial properties in Cheshire to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even numerous drums in an outbuilding, if we can get to it, we could certainly empty it for you.
