Here are the top services we deliver to our clients.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Cheshire we are finding a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly caused by people not knowing the way to use it (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly next to one another on the automobile.

Now, what is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? As the product is predominantly deionised water, it is like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition to this, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

In the event that you put AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it at the earliest opportunity. And certainly never switch on the motor - not even to shift it from the pump. If you have started the vehicle you would most likely need to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is definitely a serious situation to deal with in a car - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water inside your fuel may produce idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not taken care of fully, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can resolve both situations fairly expediently.

You should know though that whenever the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the previous one is going to be thoroughly wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to a car parking spot we can gain access to the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've carried out numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel container placed at the rear of the garden full of out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few domestic and industrial properties in Cheshire to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps several containers in a shed, provided that we are able to get to it, we are able to drain it.

Run out of fuel in Shotwick (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a full Cheshire Out of Fuel Service. We will help to fill up your car any time you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at cost) to refill your vehicle. They will handle the standard issues which can accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.
