It was around 5 pm on a Thursday and even though we were assured a rainless day, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Ray and I were relaxing discussing the recent footy rankings, waiting for the 8th fuel drain that day to arrive. Before long we received the phone call from a woman on a company excursion who had gone to the Esso filling garage in Eccleston and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Volkswagen hire car. The unfortunate lady was quite affected by the sounds of it, crying "I simply cannot believe that I've messed up the car! I am just so used to filling my petrol car that I completely forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I told her to relax and not to fret, and that these things unfortunately can happen. She was able to move the car into a safe space and, seeing that it was no more than a short distance off from our van, we were able to get to her without delay. The contaminated fuel was taken out and she was able to once again go back to the motel she was residing in. Despite the fact we got very soaked, it was all rewarding to watch her drive away relaxed and less worried. Another job in Cheshire done well in my mind!

Our Areas of Competence :

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

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Cheshire we have discovered increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is partly due to drivers being unsure of the right way to to make use of (important: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly next to each other on the car.

Well, what's the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Since AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is actually like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

If you find you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And of course do not start up the engine - not even to move it to a parking area. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you may in all likelihood have to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is certainly an important condition to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Having water in fuel tank can certainly bring about idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not sorted out effectively, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to resolve both situations pretty swiftly.

Keep in mind that if ever the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one is going to be wholly water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to parking bay we should be able to access the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We have done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container sitting in the rear of the garden containing aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several private and commercial premises in Cheshire to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps numerous drums in a garage, as long as we are able to access it, we can certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Eccleston (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a full Cheshire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to re-fill your car if you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at cost) to refill your car or truck. They will handle the normal problems that may come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.
