Our Fields of Expertise:

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

AdBlue In Diesel

In Cheshire we have noticed a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to a degree thanks to motorists not understanding how to to make use of (important: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly close to each other on the automobile.

Now, what's the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing as AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Also, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

If you put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it out at once. And most definitely never start up the vehicle - not even to shift it from the pump. If you have started the vehicle you may in all probability have to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious issue to take care of in an automobile - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Water inside your diesel or petrol can lead to idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out properly, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain than water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both circumstances fairly expediently.

Take note that in the event that the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will likely be totally wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to a vehicle parking spot we will be able to access the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have completed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel reservoir lying at the back of your premises with unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several privately owned and commercial premises in Cheshire to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even numerous drums in a shed, provided that we are able to reach it, we can empty it for you.

We will come to re-fill your vehicle in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at cost) to refill your vehicle.
