We're just a telephone call away.

It was after 8 pm on a Thursday and though we were guaranteed a rainless night, it hadn't ceased pouring! Ray and I were sitting talking about the recent tennis results, prepared for the 6th telephone call of the day to arrive. Inevitably we got the phone call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had arrived at the Shell petrol garage in Upton and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Porsche rental car. She was quite troubled it seemed, stating "I just can't believe I have destroyed the car! I am so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I had did not remember I was running a diesel!" I advised her to relax and not to be concerned, and also that such things regrettably do happen. She managed to move the vehicle to a safe space and, seeing that it was just a few minutes away from the office, we could get to the woman rather quickly. The bad fuel was extracted and she could once again go back to the hotel she was staying at. Even though we got really wet, it was all worth it seeing her drive home contented and a lot less concerned. Yet another misfuel correction in Cheshire well done in my opinion!

Do you or your drivers often misfuel your car? We can solve any related problems.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Cheshire we are identifying more and more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly due to drivers being unsure of the way to work with it (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right near to one another on the car.

Now, what's the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing that AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Also, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

In case you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank get it drained at once. And obviously take care not to turn over the engine - not even to move it to a parking area. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you would almost certainly have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is usually an important condition to address in an automobile - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel tank can easily result in idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not sorted out fully, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove than water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both situations pretty quickly.

Be aware though that so long as the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the previous one will likely be thoroughly wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or parked near to an automobile parking spot we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We have performed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel container laying at the rear of the garden containing aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous domestic and industrial premises in Cheshire for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or even some drums in a storage shed, assuming that we can get to it, we could certainly empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Upton (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a comprehensive Cheshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to refill your vehicle any time you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at pump prices) to refill your vehicle. They will be able to handle the usual problems that may accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
