It was close to 6 pm on a Monday and although we were guaranteed a dry evening, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Brian and me were relaxing there going over the weekend's rugby rankings, at the ready for the seventh fuel drain of the day to arrive. In due time we received the call from a lovely women on a company expedition who had arrived at the Tesco filling garage in Hatherton and put petrol in a diesel Jaguar lease car in error. She was fairly irritated by the sounds of it, crying "I can't believe that I've messed up the car! I am so used to filling my petrol car I completely forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I just told her to take it easy and not to worry, and that things like this sadly happen. She was able to move the car into a secure area and, since it was just a few minutes off from us, we could get to the woman almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was drained so she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was living at. Although we got really soaked, it was all rewarding to watch her drive off calm and not so apprehensive. Another fuel drain in Cheshire well done in my mind!

Our Areas of Expertise :

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

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Cheshire we are discovering a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to some extent caused by motorists not knowing the way to use it (note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right near to one another on the car.

So, what exactly is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Because AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is actually like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Moreover, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

In the event that you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out at once. And definitely do not turn over the vehicle - not even to relocate it away from the pump. In cases where you did start the vehicle you would in all likelihood have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant issue to deal with in a car - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel is going to lead to idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed properly, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of than water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to solve both situations very quickly.

Remember however that any time the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will probably be completely wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to an automobile parking bay we should be able to reach the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We have done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank laying in the back of the garden full of old, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many private and business premises in Cheshire to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or even several drums in a storage shed, assuming that we are able to get to it, we can drain it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Hatherton (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a comprehensive Cheshire Out of Fuel Service. We can help to refill your automobile if you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) and refill your car. They are also able to fix the standard troubles which can accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to start, as well as flat batteries due to over-cranking.
