It was about 7 pm on a Monday and although we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Mark and me were resting there talking over the recent sports, prepared for the next telephone call that day to arrive. Before long we got the call from a girl on a business excursion who had gone to the Shell filling station in Little Heath and put petrol in a diesel Hyundai hire car in error. The unfortunate lady was rather agitated apparently, telling me "I cannot believe I have messed up the car! I'm just so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I totally didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" We asked her to settle back and not to worry, and that these things regrettably do happen. She had managed to get the vehicle to a safe position and, seeing that it was just a few miles from where we were, we could get to the woman fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was drained and she could get back to the hotel she was living in. Even though we got pretty wet, it was all rewarding to see her drive off contented and a lot less stressed. Yet another misfuel correction in Cheshire well done in my mind!

Below are our top services we deliver to our customers.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Cheshire we are encountering a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partly as a result of drivers not being totally sure how to to make use of (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right close to each other on the automobile.

Well, precisely what is the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Apart from this, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained as soon as possible. And most certainly be careful not to switch on the vehicle - not even to relocate it from the pump. In case you have started the car you will almost certainly need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious situation to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel tank can potentially lead to idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with fully, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both cases fairly simply.

Remember that so long as the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one will be completely water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to an automobile parking spot we should be able to reach the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We've succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir placed at the back of the garden with aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many private and commercial premises in Cheshire for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even numerous drums in an outbuilding, if we can get to it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Little Heath (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a comprehensive Cheshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to fill up your vehicle if you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump price) and fill up your automobile. They will be able to fix the usual problems that could come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Little Heath - Little Heath Vehicle Misfuel

A person rang us from his place on a close in Little Heath. He said, "My vehicle (a Audi) is not starting up and is making terrible noises when I flip the ignition." He said that he put the wrong fuel in his diesel car but then believed he would solve the problem by putting additional Diesel on top. We arrived quickly, did the fuel drain and filled him up once more with fresh Diesel. He told us he would be certain to inform people not to fill up on top of the wrong fuel but to have it drained promptly.
