It was close to eight pm on a Monday and even though we were assured a rainless evening, it had not ceased pouring down rain! James and I were resting talking over the football results, waiting for the 6th call of the day to arrive. Inevitably we had a call from a woman on a company expedition who had arrived at the Texaco petrol station in Dunkirk and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Fiat rental car in error. She was very troubled by the sounds of it, stating "I simply can't believe I have messed up the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling my petrol car that I completely didn't remember I was running a diesel!" We told her to take it easy and not to worry, and also that these things do happen. She managed to relocate the car to a protected space and, seeing as it was just a few minutes from our van, we could arrive at the woman fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was removed so she was able to go home to the motel she was residing in. Despite the fact that we got really soaked, it was all rewarding to watch her drive home satisfied and less stressed. A fuel drain in Cheshire well done in my opinion!

Our Services:

Below are the top services we deliver to our customers.

AdBlue In Diesel

How to proceed if you have poured Adblue into your Diesel tank? Adblue can be harmful to your automobile's fuel system, especially in cases where you have had the engine running with Adblue in the tank. Once the engine has been switched on the Adblue will likely be pushed into your fuel lines and will immediately start to crystalise, triggering devastating and costly harm to your automobile's fuel system.

If you find you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And most certainly be careful not to switch on the car - not even to shift it from the pump. In case you did start the car you may most likely need to have the complete fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a significant situation to address in a vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water in your petrol or diesel is going to lead to idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not dealt with correctly, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of compared to water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both situations fairly swiftly.

Take note though that so long as the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the previous one will probably be totally water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. So long as the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel reservoir laying at the back of the garden containing unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous privately owned and industrial properties in Cheshire to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or even some drums in an outbuilding, as long as we are able to reach it, we could certainly drain it for you.

We can help to refill your vehicle any time you are stranded on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home.
