Ryan and I were seated going over the weekend's rugby, waiting for the sixth fuel drain of the day to arrive. Eventually we got the call from a girl on a company expedition who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling station in Bollington and filled petrol in a diesel Fiat rental car in error. She was quite irritated it seemed, crying "I still cannot believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling my petrol car that I had forgot I was operating a diesel!"

This is what we do best.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Cheshire we have discovered more and more examples of AdBlue contamination when an individual has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partly a result of motorists not being aware of how to to make use of (note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually right next to each other on the vehicle.

Now, precisely what is the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it's as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Additionally, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

Assuming you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained at once. And certainly be careful not to start up the vehicle - not even to shift it away from the pump. In the event that you have started the car you may most likely have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is without question a significant matter to handle in a car - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Water in your fuel tank may well contribute to idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not remedied correctly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain as compared to water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to take care of both cases fairly swiftly.

Bear in mind that as long as the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the previous one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. So long as the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to parking bay we should be able to reach the storage and remove the fuel. We have carried out quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Have an old fuel container sitting at the back of your premises containing out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few private and industrial properties in Cheshire for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or even several containers in a shed, provided that we are able to get to it, we are able to drain it for you.

Fuel Drain Bollington - Bollington Fuel Removal

I'd had a great afternoon cycling on the weekend and was feeling contented with myself the next day as I set off to assist a new family who were away in Bollington. They had stopped after inserting petrol in their SEAT, and were close to half an hour away. I got there at their location and laughed to myself as I listened to the gal chastising her husband for being so silly. "How could you conceivably find a way to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I wanted to explain that this comes to pass frequently in Cheshire and that it's really absolutely nothing to worry about, nonetheless he in spite of everything had his ear bent by his wife. I felt genuine sympathy for the guy. Anyway, I removed the contaminated fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave them some right fuel. Watching while they drove away I shouted good-bye and wondered what my missus would tell me if ever I did the same thing... I would personally never ever hear the end of it!
