It was after 10 pm on a Thursday and even though we were promised a dry night, it had not given up on pouring down rain! Mark and me were resting talking about the weekend's footy results, waiting around for the 6th call that day to arrive. Eventually we received the phone call from a girl on a company trip who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol garage in Cotebrook and put petrol in a diesel Lexus hire car. The poor thing was rather distressed by the sounds of it, stating "I can not believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling my petrol car I had didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" We asked her to calm down and not to worry, plus that things like this unfortunately happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle to a secure position and, as it was just a few miles away from our van, we were able to arrive at her quickly. The contaminated fuel was drained so she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was living in. Despite the fact we got extremely wet, it was all worth the time to watch her drive home calm and less apprehensive. Another misfuel correction in Cheshire well done in my books!

Assisting you get back on the road is our main goal.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Cheshire we have found a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree due to motorists not being aware of the right way to to make use of (be aware: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly next to each other on the car.

So, what's the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Because the product is predominantly ionised water, it is just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

In the event that you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out asap. And most certainly never start up the motor - not even to shift it off of the pump. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you may likely need to have the full fuel system purged and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important condition to take care of in a car - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water in the petrol or diesel is going to trigger idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out properly, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. However we can handle both situations fairly swiftly.

Bear in mind however that any time the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to a car or truck parking spot we can gain access to the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank in the back of your premises with unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous domestic and industrial properties in Cheshire for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even some containers in an outbuilding, as long as we are able to reach it, we can empty it.

Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Cotebrook (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a complete Cheshire Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to fill up your car if you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump price) and refill your car or truck. They will be able to take care of the normal troubles which might go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or maybe flat batteries due to over-cranking.
