Here are the top services we provide to our clients.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Merseyside we are encountering more and more examples of AdBlue contamination when a driver has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mainly thanks to people being unsure of the way to work with it (be aware: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly near to each other on the automobile.

So, exactly what is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? As the product is primarily deionised water, it is just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it asap. And most certainly be careful not to switch on the engine - not even to move it to a parking bay. In cases where you have started the vehicle you would almost certainly have to have the complete fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious situation to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines. Putting water in diesel or petrol will often produce idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied effectively, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both cases very expediently.

Keep in mind however that any time the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one will undoubtedly be completely wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to a car parking spot we are able to gain access to the storage and remove the fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel tank placed in the back of your garden full of unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and business premises in Merseyside to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a few containers in an outbuilding, provided that we can access it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Gateacre (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a full Merseyside Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to fill up your car in cases where you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump prices) to fill your car or truck. They will be able to take care of the common troubles that might accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or maybe dead batteries due to over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Gateacre - Gateacre Wrong Fuel Doctor

A person rang us from his house on a road in Gateacre. He explained, "My car (a Volvo) is not running and is producing very bad noises when I turn the ignition." He admitted that he put unleaded in his diesel car but then reckoned he would solve the issue by putting extra Diesel on top. We got there promptly, performed the fuel drain and filled him up again with fresh Diesel. He said that he'd be absolutely sure to explain to people not to fill up in addition to the wrong fuel but to get it cleaned out promptly.
