Here are the top services we deliver to our clients.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Cheshire we have identified more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where someone has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partly thanks to motorists not understanding the right way to use it (be aware: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right adjacent to one another on the car.

Now, what exactly is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition to this, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained as soon as possible. And certainly take care not to start up the engine - not even to shift it into a parking bay. If you have started the car you would probably have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is generally a serious situation to deal with in an automobile - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank can certainly cause idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed correctly, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out than water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to take care of both circumstances pretty swiftly.

Take note however that so long as the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will probably be completely water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to a car or truck parking bay we will be able to access the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have carried out numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank at the back of the garden with unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous privately owned and business premises in Cheshire to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps numerous drums in a garage, if we are able to reach it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Lower Stretton (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a comprehensive Cheshire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to refill your vehicle in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at cost) and fill up the car. They are also able to fix the usual issues which may go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to start, and even flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Lower Stretton - Lower Stretton Wrong Fuel in Car

I'd had a terrific afternoon golfing during my off day and felt delighted the following morning as I set out to assist a young couple who were on holiday in Lower Stretton. They'd broken down after putting diesel into their Jaguar, and were approximately an hour away. I turned up at their car and smiled while I heard to the girl chastising her hubby for actually being so foolish. "Exactly how could you possibly find a way to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she said to him. I attempted to tell her that this problem comes to pass all the time in Cheshire and that it is nothing at all to be concerned about, and yet he yet still got his ear bent by his missus. Unlucky boy. Anyways, I drained out the contaminated fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave them some right fuel. While they drove down the road I waved farewell and thought about what my wife would do to me in the event that I did the exact same thing... I'd never live it down!
