It was just before 7 pm on a Monday and while we were promised a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Mark and me were relaxing commenting on the recent rugby results, waiting around for the sixth fuel drain to arrive. Finally we received a phone call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol station in Swan Green and filled petrol in her diesel Lexus rental. She was rather distressed by the sounds of it, saying "I simply cannot believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I am so used to filling up my petrol car that I completely didn't remember I was running a diesel!" I just asked her to take it easy and not to worry, plus that things like this regrettably often happen. She had managed to maneuver the car to a secure position and, because it was only a few miles away from where we were, we were able to arrive at her rather quickly. The wrong fuel was removed and she could return to the motel she was residing in. Although we got really drenched, it was all worth the time seeing her drive home contented and a lot less stressed. One more fuel drain in Cheshire well done in my mind!

Services We Offer:

Here are the top services we provide to our clients.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Cheshire we have noticed progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a driver has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent a result of drivers not being aware of the right way to to make use of (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right next to one another on the car.

So, what is the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Because the product is mostly deionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Additionally, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it as soon as possible. And most certainly don't start the motor - not even to move it away from the pump. Assuming you did start the car you would probably need to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, tends to be an important situation to address in an automobile - especially in current day common-rail engines. Putting water in your petrol or diesel can result in idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with correctly, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of than water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both circumstances rather swiftly.

Bear in mind however that whenever the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will probably be totally wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to an automobile parking bay we can access the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}
