It was after ten pm on a Monday and while we were assured a rainless evening, it hadn't ceased raining! Paul and I were seated there talking about the recent footy rankings, at the ready for the 6th fuel drain to come in. In due time we got a call from a lovely women on a business excursion who had arrived at the BP filling station in Appleton and put petrol in her diesel Chevrolet lease car in error. She was fairly agitated by the sounds of it, stating "I simply can't believe that I've destroyed the car! I'm so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I had did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just advised her to relax and not to be concerned, also that these things regrettably can happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle to a protected spot and, since it was no more than a few minutes away from the office, we were able to find the woman right away. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could once again go back to the hotel she was residing in. Despite the fact we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive off calm and much less apprehensive. One more fuel drain in Cheshire done well in my opinion!

This is exactly what we do best.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Cheshire we are noticing an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partially thanks to people not knowing the right way to use it (note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually right next to one another on the car.

So, what exactly is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Because AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Also, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

If in case you put AdBlue into a fuel tank drain it at the earliest opportunity. And of course do not turn over the motor - not even to maneuver it into a parking place. In cases where you have started the vehicle you would likely need to have the entire fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is definitely an important issue to address in a car - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel can easily bring about idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out effectively, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out than water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to deal with both situations rather easily.

Keep in mind however that so long as the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one will probably be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked close to an automobile parking spot we should be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have completed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank in the back of your premises containing unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to numerous private and commercial properties in Cheshire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a number of drums in an outbuilding, as long as we can reach it, we are able to empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Appleton (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a complete Cheshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to refill the car any time you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at pump price) to fill up your car or truck. They are also able to take care of the most common issues that may come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, and even flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Appleton - Appleton Wrong Fuel Doctor

I appreciated a perfect day fishing on my off day and felt delighted the next day as I was on the way to assist a young family away in Appleton. They had pulled over after putting diesel into their BMW, and the car was close to an hour away. I emerged at their location and smirked as I listened to the wife berating her hubby for actually being so silly. "Exactly how could you conceivably find a way to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she told him. I tried to clarify that this happens everyday in Cheshire and that it is nothing at all to fret about, and yet he yet still had an earful. Poor chap. Anyhow, I extracted the wrong fuel, flushed the engine and filled it up with the correct fuel. As they drove away I waved good-bye and wondered what my wife would tell me in the event that I made the very same blunder... I'd personally under no circumstances hear the end of it!
