Our experienced team of technicians are available around your location to come and aid you at the side of the road using specialist tools.

It was around five pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry evening, it hadn't ceased raining! James and I were resting discussing the recent footy results, waiting around for the 6th fuel drain for the day to come in. In due time we received a call from a young lady on a business expedition who had pulled into the Tesco petrol station in Upton and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Volvo hire car. The poor lady was pretty affected by the sounds of it, telling me "I still can't believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot I was operating a diesel!" I just instructed her to calm down and not to worry, and also that such things regrettably happen. She was able to relocate the car to a safe position and, because it was just a few minutes off from our van, we could reach the woman quickly. The contaminated fuel was taken out and she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was residing in. Despite the fact that we got really wet, it was all worth it seeing her drive off contented and a lot less concerned. Another misfuel correction in Cheshire done well in my mind!

Services We Offer:

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue Contamination

All over Cheshire we have encountered a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to some extent thanks to drivers not being totally sure the right way to to make use of (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right next to one another on the vehicle.

So, exactly what is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Since AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Apart from this, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained at once. And most certainly don't switch on the car - not even to maneuver it off the pump. Assuming you have started the vehicle you will in all likelihood have to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely an important issue to take care of in a vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water in your diesel or petrol will often trigger idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with fully, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove in comparison with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both circumstances rather swiftly.

Be aware though that so long as the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted as the previous one will be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to a car or truck parking bay we can gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank placed at the back of your garden with unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of private and industrial properties in Cheshire to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even numerous containers in a shed, assuming that we are able to get to it, we are able to drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Upton (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a full Cheshire Out of Fuel Service. We will come to refill the car in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at pump prices) to fill up your car or truck. They can also fix the standard troubles that might go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Upton - Upton Fuel Drain

A gentleman called us from his home on a close in Upton. He pronounced, "My car (a Ford) is not starting and is creating terrible noises when I flip the key." He said that he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel car but then thought he would remedy the issue by putting additional Diesel on top. We arrived promptly, performed the drain and filled it up once again with clean Diesel. He told us after that he'd be sure to educate people not to fill up on top of the incorrect fuel but to get it drained right away.
