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

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Cheshire we have encountered increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent stemming from drivers not knowing how to work with it (note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right close to each other on the vehicle.

Now, exactly what is the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? As AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Apart from this, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out at the earliest opportunity. And most certainly never start the vehicle - not even to shift it into a parking area. If you have started the vehicle you would in all probability need to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's petrol or diesel, is without question an important matter to address in an automobile - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water in your diesel or petrol may well trigger idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with effectively, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove in comparison with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can take care of both situations pretty easily.

Keep in mind though that any time the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one will likely be totally wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we should be able to reach the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel tank sitting in the back of your premises with unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several privately owned and commercial properties in Cheshire to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps a number of containers in a garage, as long as we are able to access it, we can certainly empty it.

Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Runcorn (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a full Cheshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to fill up your car any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at pump price) and refill your vehicle. They are also able to fix any of the typical problems which may go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, and even dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Runcorn - Runcorn Petrol in Diesel

A customer contacted us from his residence on a close in Runcorn. He exclaimed, "My vehicle (a Citroen) is not starting up and is making awful noises when I flip the key." He confessed that he put petrol in his diesel vehicle but then imagined he would solve the issue by putting further Diesel on top. We arrived quickly, carried out the fuel drain and filled it up once again with fresh Diesel. He told us after that he'd be certain to educate people not to fill up over the wrong fuel but to have it drained immediately.
