It was about six pm on a Monday and while we were assured a rainless afternoon, it hadn't ceased pouring! Brian and I were relaxing talking over the weekend's tennis, ready for the sixth call for the day to arrive. Before long we received a call from a lady on a business trip who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol garage in Pulford and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Nissan lease car in error. The unfortunate thing was pretty irritated by the sounds of it, stating "I can't believe that I've destroyed the car! I'm just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I totally didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I told her to take it easy and not to worry, also that things like this regrettably happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle to a secure area and, since it was only a few minutes from our van, we were able to arrive at the customer quickly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was lodging at. Although we got very drenched, it was all worth the time to see her drive away contented and not so concerned. Yet another misfuel correction in Cheshire done well in my opinion!

Our Areas of Expertise:

Listed here are the top services we offer to our clients.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Cheshire we are identifying a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly as a consequence of motorists not being totally sure the right way to work with it (important: it's actually not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually right next to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what is the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Furthermore, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

In the case you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And absolutely don't turn over the engine - not even to move it off of the pump. In cases where you did start the car you may likely need to have the full fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly an important situation to deal with in an automobile - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water in the petrol or diesel can trigger idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not addressed fully, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of than water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to take care of both cases very swiftly.

Bear in mind though that whenever the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter to be installed since the previous one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we will be able to access the tanks and remove the fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel container sitting at the back of the garden containing out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous private and commercial properties in Cheshire to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even numerous containers in a storage shed, as long as we can get to it, we can empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Pulford (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a full Cheshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to re-fill the car if you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump price) to refill the car. They are also able to handle any of the typical issues that could go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or maybe dead batteries because of over-cranking.
