It was after ten pm on a Thursday and even though we were assured a dry day, it had not given up on raining! James and I were sitting there talking over the recent rugby results, waiting for the sixth fuel drain that day to arrive. Eventually we had a phone call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol garage in Plemstall and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Mazda rental. She was somewhat troubled it seemed, saying "I cannot believe that I have destroyed the car! I'm just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember I was running a diesel!" I advised her to take it easy and not to fret, and also that things like this regrettably can happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle to a safe position and, since it was only a few minutes away from where we were, we were able to reach the lady rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was removed so she was able to go home to the Premier Inn she was residing in. Even though we got extremely soaked, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive away relaxed and less worried. Yet another job in Cheshire well done in my mind!

Our Areas of Competency :

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Cheshire we are discovering more and more instances of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is mostly thanks to motorists not being totally sure the way to to make use of (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right next to each other on the automobile.

So, what exactly is the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing that the product is mainly ionised water, it's like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

In the event that you put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out immediately. And most definitely take care not to start up the vehicle - not even to shift it away from the pump. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you will in all likelihood need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is certainly a significant condition to address in an automobile - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Water inside your diesel or petrol can certainly lead to idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed effectively, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain in comparison with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to take care of both circumstances very expediently.

Be aware however that any time the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the previous one will probably be completely wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or moored near to a vehicle parking bay we should be able to gain access to the tanks and drain out the fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel reservoir in the back of the garden full of aged, useless or degraded fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous privately owned and industrial properties in Cheshire for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or even some drums in a garage, assuming that we can get to it, we could certainly drain it.

Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Plemstall (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a full Cheshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to refill your car if you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at cost) and refill your automobile. They will be able to handle any of the standard issues that might come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to start, and even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.
