It was close to ten pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry day, it had not given up on pouring down rain! Ryan and I were seated there talking over the recent footy rankings, waiting around for the sixth call to come in. Before long we had a call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had pulled into the Texaco petrol garage in Lower Stretton and put petrol in a diesel Ford hire car. She was somewhat affected it seemed, stating "I can not believe that I've wrecked the car! I'm so used to filling my petrol car that I had forgot I was driving a diesel!" We asked her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and also that these things regrettably often happen. She had managed to get the vehicle to a protected spot and, seeing that it was just a short distance from us, we could arrive at the lady swiftly. The bad fuel was removed and she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was staying at.

Here are the top services we provide to our clients.

AdBlue Contamination

In Cheshire we are encountering an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent caused by people being unsure of the way to work with it (note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right close to each other on the automobile.

Now, what's the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? As the product is primarily ionised water, it is actually just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it as soon as possible. And of course take care not to turn over the motor - not even to maneuver it off the pump. In the instance that you did start the car you will almost certainly have to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious situation to address in a vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in your petrol or diesel can trigger idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not taken care of properly, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out as compared to water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can handle both cases quite easily.

Take note though that if ever the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to parking bay we should be able to reach the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We have carried out numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank in the back of your garden containing unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and industrial properties in Cheshire for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even numerous containers in an outbuilding, assuming that we can reach it, we are able to drain it.

Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Lower Stretton (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a comprehensive Cheshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to refill your automobile in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at cost) to fill your automobile. They can also fix the usual issues which can go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or maybe flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.
