Ahhh, that was a great night of sleep! 7:00 on a warm Sunday and I was off to help an elder lovely lady who had put petrol in her diesel Porsche in Birchwood. She informed us that she drove away from the petrol station forecourt and was stranded on a backwater road en route to see her family. I got the location punched into the Satnav and arrived within an hour or so. I reached the vehicle and extracted the wrong fuel in the car car. As I was working she explained, "I'm getting relatively forgetful in my old age and didn't remember about the car working with diesel since I'd only just purchased it a week back right after my previous one, which I had owned for over 30 years, finally died on me". I finished the drain and she offered me a toffee and thanked me for my efforts. What a precious Cheshire lady!

Wrong Fuel Doctor Birchwood - Birchwood Wrong Fuel Drain
I had appreciated a perfect afternoon fishing during my holiday and was feeling contented the following morning as I set out to aid a new couple who were on holiday in Birchwood. They'd conked out after putting diesel in their Fiat, and the car was roughly an hour's travel away. I showed up at their position and smiled as I heard to the lady berating her man for being so foolish. "Exactly how could you conceivably be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she asked him. I wanted to explain that this happens frequently in Cheshire and that it is absolutely nothing to be concerned about, however he yet still got an ear bashing. Unfortunate lad. Anyway, I extracted all the polluted fuel, flushed the motor and gave it some appropriate fuel. While watching them drive away I shouted farewell and considered what my missus would ask me in the event that I did the very same thing... I would under no circumstances live it down!

AdBlue In Your Diesel
Throughout Cheshire we are encountering progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly as a result of people not knowing how to use it (take note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly next to one another on the car.
Well, precisely what is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing that the product is predominantly ionised water, it is like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Additionally, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.
In the event that you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out at once. And of course never switch on the motor - not even to shift it into a parking area. If you have started the vehicle you will probably need to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.
Fuel contaminated with water
Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is actually a serious matter to deal with in a motor vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Water in diesel or petrol will often contribute to idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out properly, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to drain when compared with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both cases quite expediently.
Be aware that any time the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will be wholly wet and unusable.
Motorboat Fuel Drains
If you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or secured near to a car or truck parking bay we should be able to gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}
Waste Fuel Removal
Got an old fuel tank at the back of your premises containing out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few domestic and commercial premises in Cheshire for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even several containers in a garage, assuming that we are able to get to it, we can certainly drain it for you.
