It was after 6 pm on a Thursday and though we were assured a rainless evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Paul and I were sitting there going over the weekend's footy, prepared for the 8th telephone call to arrive. Finally we had the call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had gone to the Shell petrol garage in Keckwick and put petrol in a diesel Smart rental car. The poor lady was somewhat agitated it seemed, stating "I still cannot believe that I have wrecked the car! I'm so used to filling up my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" We advised her to settle back and not to fret, plus that such things sadly do happen. She had managed to move the vehicle into a secure spot and, since it was no more than a few minutes from our van, we could arrive at the customer quickly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could once again go back to the hotel she was lodging at. Although we got really drenched, it was all worth the effort to see her drive off relaxed and much less stressed. Yet another job in Cheshire well done in my opinion!

Listed here are our top services we deliver to our customers.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Cheshire we are noticing increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to a degree a result of people not being aware of how to work with it (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually right close to one another on the vehicle.

Now, exactly what is the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing that the product is mainly deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Apart from this, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

In case you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank drain it immediately. And obviously take care not to switch on the car - not even to maneuver it to a parking spot. In case you have started the vehicle you may very likely have to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is usually a significant matter to deal with in a vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Water in your fuel tank can potentially trigger idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not remedied properly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of compared to water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can solve both circumstances quite simply.

Be aware that if the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one is going to be completely wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to an automobile parking bay we will be able to reach the tanks and drain out the fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel reservoir sitting in the back of your garden with unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several domestic and commercial properties in Cheshire for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even numerous containers in a garage, as long as we are able to get to it, we can certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Keckwick (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a comprehensive Cheshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will come to re-fill your automobile any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at cost) and fill your car. They are also able to fix any of the standard issues which might accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Keckwick - Keckwick Fuel Removal

A customer had stopped off a street in Keckwick. His Hyundai engine had stopped operating and he'd no clue what was awry until he realised he had put unleaded in his diesel car. He called us to get a fuel drain and that is when he said to us: "I can not believe that I didn't comprehend that I had put the wrong fuel in my car." He claimed that he had gotten virtually no sleep the evening before and that must have been why.
