It was close to 7 pm on a Saturday and even though we were assured a rainless afternoon, it hadn't given up on pouring! Dan and I were sitting there discussing the recent rugby results, at the ready for the seventh fuel drain of the day to come in. Finally we had a phone call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had arrived at the BP filling garage in Handley and put petrol in a diesel Honda rental car by mistake. She was somewhat affected apparently, saying "I can not believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car that I completely didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I advised her to settle back and not to be concerned, plus that such things often happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle into a protected area and, seeing as it was only a few miles away from our van, we were able to reach the customer fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was removed and she could once again go back to the Travelodge she was lodging in. Despite the fact that we got pretty drenched, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive away calm and not so anxious. One more job in Cheshire well done in my books!

Our Areas of Expertise :

Do you or your drivers usually misfuel your vehicle? We can solve any associated problems.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Cheshire we have discovered more and more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to some extent stemming from people being unsure of the way to work with it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to one another on the automobile.

Now, exactly what is the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Furthermore, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

Give us a call in the event that you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and are able to handle all kinds of AdBlue contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly a significant issue to deal with in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water in the petrol or diesel can certainly produce idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not remedied correctly, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to take care of both cases fairly simply.

Remember that in the event that the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will probably be totally water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to a vehicle parking bay we are able to reach the tanks and remove the fuel. We have succesfully done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank at the back of the garden full of unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous private and commercial properties in Cheshire to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even numerous drums in a garage, if we are able to reach it, we are able to empty it.

Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Handley (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a complete Cheshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to re-fill your vehicle in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at pump price) and fill the car. They will deal with the common issues which could come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Handley - Handley Fuel Removal

Yesterday a customer contacted us right after his Citroen ground to a halt in the middle of a street in Handley. He had accidentally put unleaded in the diesel vehicle and drove as far as the road before needing to halt. It was really early in the day and our technical engineer, who stays not far away, got to him in about fifteen minutes. We were able to get rid of the incorrect fuel and put clean diesel yet again in to the car. "Genuine thanks to you for your immediate response, and in particular at 6 a.m., I really am grateful for it."
