It was before 6 pm on a Tuesday and though we were assured a dry evening, it had not stopped raining! Ryan and I were seated commenting on the golf rankings, prepared for the next telephone call for the day to arrive. Eventually we had the phone call from a lovely woman on a company excursion who had gone to the Texaco petrol garage in Warrington and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Renault rental car in error. She was somewhat distressed by the sounds of it, saying "I can't believe that I've ruined the car! I am just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car I completely forgot I was running a diesel!" I just asked her to settle back and not to be concerned, also that these things can happen. She had managed to get the vehicle to a safe spot and, seeing as it was just a few minutes from our van, we were able to find the lady almost instantly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could return to the Travelodge she was staying at. Despite the fact we got extremely drenched, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive home relaxed and less worried. Yet another fuel drain in Cheshire done well in my books!

Listed here are our top services we deliver to our customers.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Cheshire we have found an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination where an individual has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly as a consequence of people not being totally sure the right way to use it (please note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually right near to each other on the car.

Well, exactly what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

In the event that you end up in this position do not panic! Call us, the UK?s Best fuel contamination business. Our engineers possess the specialised skills and working experience to have you back on the road promptly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is without question a significant matter to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel can easily cause idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied fully, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both situations very easily.

Keep in mind however that if the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will probably be completely wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. As long as the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to a vehicle parking bay we will be able to gain access to the tanks and remove the fuel. We have carried out numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir at the rear of your premises full of aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of private and business premises in Cheshire to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps several drums in a storage shed, assuming that we are able to access it, we are able to drain it.

Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Warrington (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a comprehensive Cheshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to re-fill your vehicle if you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) to fill up the car. They can also deal with any of the common problems that can go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Warrington - Warrington Petrol in Diesel

A week ago a motorist telephoned us after his BMW broke down on a street in Warrington. He had unintentionally put unleaded in the diesel motor and got to the street before being forced to give up. It was really in the early hours of the morning and our technical engineer, who stays locally, was with him in approximately a quarter hour. We managed to get rid of the wrong fuel and put fresh diesel yet again in to the car. "Thank you for your prompt response, and in particular at 5 a.m., I am grateful for it."
