It was after five pm on a Wednesday and although we were promised a dry day, it hadn't stopped pouring! Mark and I were sitting there commenting on the recent footy, at the ready for the seventh fuel drain that day to come in. Inevitably we had a call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had arrived at the Sainsburys petrol station in Stretton and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Vauxhall rental car in error. The unfortunate thing was quite troubled apparently, crying "I can't believe that I have messed up the car! I'm just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car I completely forgot that I was driving a diesel!" We instructed her to relax and not to fret, and that such things do happen. She had managed to relocate the car into a safe spot and, as it was just a few minutes from our van, we were able to reach her right away. The wrong fuel was taken out so she could once again go back to the hotel she was residing in. Despite the fact that we got extremely drenched, it was all worth the time to see her drive off contented and a lot less concerned. Yet another job in Cheshire done well in my opinion!

Services We Give:

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

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Cheshire we are discovering progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a person has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly a result of drivers not understanding the way to work with it (note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly adjacent to one another on the automobile.

So, precisely what is the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing that AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is actually like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it right away. And certainly do not start the vehicle - not even to shift it from the pump. In the event that you did start the vehicle you may probably have to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is actually a serious situation to handle in a vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Water in your diesel or petrol may trigger idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed effectively, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to handle both cases pretty quickly.

Be aware however that if ever the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will undoubtedly be totally wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or parked near to a motor vehicle parking spot we will be able to access the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have carried out numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir placed at the rear of your garden with aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous private and commercial properties in Cheshire to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a number of drums in a storage shed, providing we can access it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Stretton (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a full Cheshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can come to fill up the car if you are stranded on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) to refill the car. They will deal with the most common troubles which may go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, as well as flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
