Wrong Fuel Doctor Higher Wincham - Higher Wincham Vehicle Misfuel

Just had a great night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 in the morning on a gloomy Tuesday and we were en route to assist an older lady who put petrol in her diesel Toyota in Higher Wincham. I'd been informed she drove away from the petrol station forecourt and was pulled up along a rural lane along the way to see her grandchildren. I popped her location into the Satnav and got there inside an hour. I turned up at the destination and drained the wrong fuel out of the vehicle. While I was working she explained, "I have been becoming relatively absent-minded in my senior years and did not remember about the car taking diesel seeing that I'd only just purchased it a couple of days ago right after my former car, which I'd had for over thirty years, eventually gave up the ghost". I finished the job and she gave me a toffee and thanked me for my work. What a delightful Cheshire woman!

Our Areas of Expertise:

Assisting you get back on the road is our number 1 goal.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Cheshire we have identified an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination where somebody has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly as a result of motorists not being totally sure the way to work with it (note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right close to one another on the automobile.

Now, what exactly is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Because the product is mostly ionised water, it's almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Apart from this, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

If you find you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it right away. And of course take care not to crank the engine - not even to shift it from the pump. If you did start the vehicle you would almost certainly need to have the complete fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant issue to address in a car - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel can potentially cause idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied correctly, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both circumstances rather simply.

Bear in mind that as long as the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will likely be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to a car parking spot we can gain access to the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir at the rear of the garden full of aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous privately owned and commercial premises in Cheshire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or even a number of containers in a shed, as long as we can reach it, we are able to empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Higher Wincham (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a full Cheshire Out of Fuel Service. We can come to re-fill your vehicle any time you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) to fill your car. They will be able to fix any of the standard issues that may go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or maybe flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

We did a wrong fuel retrieval job on the drive of a spectacular residence in Higher Wincham a few weeks ago. "I had put petrol in my diesel car and was able to very nearly reach home when my car stopped." Our technician went out, despite the fact that it was pretty late at night, and did a thorough fuel drain and purge on the Volkswagen to everyone's satisfaction.

A gentleman who had put unleaded in his diesel Toyota phoned us for assistance at the Murco filling station in Higher Wincham. He decided to fill up before going on to the nearby caravan park but had put the wrong fuel in his car. "I put petrol as opposed to diesel which probably wasn't a smart start to our holiday break." It was absolutely no problem in the least for our technical engineer to go and do the fuel drain. We hope everyone enjoyed their holiday.

A customer had broken down just off a road in Higher Wincham. His Renault engine had ceased running and he'd no idea what was the problem until eventually he realised he had put petrol in his diesel vehicle. He contacted us to request a fuel drain and it was then when he explained to us: "I cannot believe that I did not know that I put the incorrect fuel in my vehicle." He claimed that he had got absolutely no rest the day before and that could have been the key reason why.
