It was just before six pm on a Saturday and even though we were assured a dry and fresh night, it had not given up on pouring! Brian and I were sitting talking over the recent tennis rankings, at the ready for the sixth telephone call of the day to come in. Finally we got the call from a woman on a business expedition who had pulled into the Shell filling station in Hinderton and put petrol in a diesel Dacia lease car in error. The poor lady was quite agitated it seemed, stating "I just can't believe I have ruined the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle I had didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" We asked her to calm down and not to fret, plus that such things sadly happen. She managed to maneuver the car into a safe area and, because it was no more than a few minutes away from the office, we could get to the woman rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was drained so she could return to the motel she was residing in. Even though we got extremely wet, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive home satisfied and not so anxious. Another fuel drain in Cheshire well done in my books!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Cheshire we have noticed a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination where somebody has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially due to drivers not being aware of the way to to make use of (take note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly adjacent to one another on the car.

So, what is the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Because AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

In case you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it as soon as possible. And absolutely don't turn over the motor - not even to maneuver it into a parking bay. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you will likely need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious situation to address in a vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water in fuel may well result in idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not taken care of properly, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both circumstances pretty quickly.

Remember though that so long as the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one is going to be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or secured near to a vehicle parking spot we should be able to gain access to the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have performed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel reservoir in the back of your garden containing aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of 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 enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or even several containers in an outbuilding, providing we are able to access it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Hinderton (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a full Cheshire Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to re-fill your vehicle in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) and fill up your vehicle. They can also handle any of the normal issues that might go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to start, and even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Hinderton - Hinderton Vehicle Misfuel

I had enjoyed a fantastic afternoon cycling on my afternoon off and was feeling cheerful the following day as I set off to aid a new couple who were vacationing in Hinderton. They had broken down after putting petrol in their Hyundai, and the car was about half an hour away. I arrived at their location and smiled as I listened to the wife berating her hubby for actually being so confused. "Precisely how could you actually find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she demanded of him. I tried to explain that this comes to pass everyday in Cheshire and that it is nothing at all to worry about, and yet he still got an earful by his wife. Poor guy. Anyways, I removed the contaminated fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled them up with the correct fuel. While they drove away I waved so long and thought about what my wife would do to me if perhaps I made the very same blunder... I'd personally never ever hear the end of it!
