Our Areas of Competency :

Here is a list of the incorrect fuel services we provide.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Cheshire we are finding a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially due to drivers not knowing how to use it (note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly close to one another on the automobile.

Well, what exactly is the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing that AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Apart from this, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

If you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained as soon as possible. And most certainly never switch on the engine - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. Assuming you did start the car you would almost certainly have to have the full fuel system purged and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is certainly a significant issue to take care of in an automobile - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Water in your diesel or petrol is likely to bring about idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed effectively, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of than water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can handle both cases rather swiftly.

Be aware that in the event that the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will be thoroughly wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we are able to reach the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel reservoir sitting at the back of your garden full of unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and commercial properties in Cheshire for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps some containers in a shed, as long as we can reach it, we could certainly drain it.

Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Prestbury (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a complete Cheshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to fill up your vehicle any time you are having difficulty on a 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 pump price) to fill your car. They will be able to deal with the common issues which might accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to start, as well as dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Prestbury - Prestbury Wrong Fuel Assist

A gentleman rang us from his house on a street in Prestbury. He exclaimed, "My vehicle (a Volkswagen) is not starting up and is generating very bad noises when I flip the ignition." He admitted that he had put unleaded in his diesel car but then thought he would resolve the issue by putting extra Diesel on top. We were on scene promptly, performed the fuel drain and filled it up again with clean Diesel. He told us that he would be absolutely sure to explain to people not to fill up over the incorrect fuel but to get it cleaned out promptly.
