It was around five pm on a Monday and though we were promised a dry and fresh day, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Ryan and I were seated commenting on the weekend's rugby, prepared for the sixth call for the day to come in. Eventually we got the call from a girl on a business expedition who had pulled into the BP filling garage in Handley and put petrol in her diesel Lexus lease car. She was somewhat agitated apparently, saying "I can not believe I have destroyed the car! I'm so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I had did not remember I was running a diesel!" We instructed her to relax and not to be concerned, and also that such things sadly often happen. She had managed to move the vehicle to a protected spot and, seeing that it was just a few minutes away from the office, we were able to arrive at the woman without delay. The incorrect fuel was extracted and she could go home to the motel she was lodging in. Despite the fact we got very drenched, it was all rewarding to watch her drive away satisfied and a lot less worried. Yet another job in Cheshire well done in my opinion!

Our Services:

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

AdBlue In Diesel

In Cheshire we have noticed increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent as a consequence of motorists not being totally sure the right way to work with it (please note: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right adjacent to one another on the automobile.

Now, what's the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Because the product is mainly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Apart from this, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you put AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it as soon as possible. And most definitely do not switch on the car - not even to maneuver it to a parking place. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you may very likely have to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious issue to address in a vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Water in your diesel or petrol can potentially bring about idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not addressed correctly, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can deal with both cases pretty quickly.

Be aware though that so long as the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will likely be wholly water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to a vehicle parking spot we will be able to access the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank laying in the back of your premises containing out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and industrial premises in Cheshire to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps some drums in a storage shed, provided that we can access it, we can drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Handley (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a comprehensive Cheshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to fill up your automobile in cases where you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) and fill up your automobile. They are also able to handle the standard troubles that may accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Handley - Handley Wrong Fuel

I'd had a great evening hiking on my holiday and was feeling satisfied the next working day as I set off to assist a young couple vacationing in Handley. They had conked out after putting the wrong fuel into their Mercedes, and were close to half an hour's travel away. I showed up at their car and smiled as I heard to the lady telling her man off for being so daft. "Exactly how could you possibly be able to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I tried to explain that this takes place continuously in Cheshire and that it is absolutely nothing to be anxious about, nevertheless he in spite of everything had an earful by his wife. Poor guy. In any case, I extracted the wrong fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave them some proper fuel. While they drove down the road I waved farewell and thought about what her indoors would say to me if I did the same thing... I'd never ever live it down!
