It was about six pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry evening, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Brian and me were seated commenting on the tennis results, prepared for the sixth job for the day to arrive. Eventually we had the phone call from a young lady on a company expedition who had pulled into the Texaco filling garage in Upton Rocks and put petrol in a diesel Mazda rental car in error. She was fairly affected apparently, stating "I cannot believe I've wrecked the car! I'm so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car that I totally didn't remember I was using a diesel!" We told her to relax and not to fret, and also that these things unfortunately do happen. She was able to move the car to a protected area and, because it was only a short distance away from us, we could reach the customer without delay. The bad fuel was extracted and she was able to go home to the motel she was residing at. Despite the fact we got fairly soaked, it was all worth it seeing her drive off satisfied and much less apprehensive. A fuel drain in Cheshire well done in my opinion!

Our Areas of Expertise:

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

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Cheshire we have noticed progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination where a driver has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to some extent a result of drivers being unsure of the right way to use it (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally right near to one another on the automobile.

Well, exactly what is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Since AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

In the case you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained as quickly as possible. And definitely take care not to switch on the motor - not even to shift it into a parking spot. In cases where you have started the vehicle you will almost certainly have to have the whole fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is usually a significant situation to handle in a car - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel can trigger idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not sorted out fully, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain as compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can solve both circumstances rather swiftly.

Bear in mind though that if ever the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the old one will undoubtedly be totally wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or situated near to a car parking spot we can access the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir lying in the back of your garden full of out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many private and commercial premises in Cheshire to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or possibly even a few containers in a shed, provided that we can get to it, we can empty it for you.
