It was just before six pm on a Tuesday and while we were promised a dry evening, it hadn't given up on pouring! Ryan and I were resting commenting on the golf results, prepared for the 8th fuel drain of the day to arrive. In due time we received the call from a lovely women on a company trip who had gone to the Esso filling garage in Windle Hill and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Dacia rental car in error. She was quite distressed by the sounds of it, stating "I simply can't believe I've ruined the car! I'm just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I had forgot I was running a diesel!" I instructed her to calm down and not to fret, and that such things regrettably can happen. She managed to move the vehicle to a safe space and, seeing that it was no more than a few minutes away from our van, we could get to the lady fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to get back to the hotel she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive home satisfied and a lot less concerned. One more job in Cheshire done well in my opinion!

This is what we do best.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Cheshire we are noticing more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is mostly as a result of drivers not being totally sure the right way to work with it (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right near to each other on the vehicle.

So, what is the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel car? As AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

In case you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank remove it right away. And most definitely never crank the motor - not even to shift it into a parking bay. In cases where you have started the vehicle you will most likely need to have the full fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious issue to deal with in an automobile - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water in diesel or petrol will likely cause idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of effectively, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain when compared with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can resolve both circumstances very simply.

Keep in mind though that if ever the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to a motor vehicle parking spot we will be able to access the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel reservoir laying in the rear of your garden full of old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few private and commercial properties in Cheshire to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps a few containers in an outbuilding, if we can access it, we are able to empty it.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Windle Hill (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a comprehensive Cheshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to refill the car in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump prices) and fill up your car. They will take care of any of the usual troubles that can go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to start, and even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
