It was about 5 pm on a Monday and even though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it had not stopped pouring! Ryan and I were relaxing discussing the weekend's sports, ready for the 6th fuel drain that day to come in. Finally we had a phone call from a lovely women on a business excursion who had gone to the Sainsburys filling garage in Lach Dennis and filled petrol in a diesel Lexus rental. The poor lady was somewhat affected it seemed, saying "I still cannot believe I've wrecked the car! I'm just so accustomed to filling my petrol car I had did not remember I was using a diesel!" We told her to settle back and not to fret, also that these things unfortunately often happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle into a protected spot and, since it was only a few miles from us, we were able to reach the customer quickly. The wrong fuel was drained and she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was staying in. Even though we got really wet, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive off calm and much less anxious. Yet another misfuel correction in Cheshire well done in my books!

This is what we do best.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Cheshire we are noticing an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to some extent stemming from drivers not knowing the right way to work with it (be aware: it is actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly near to each other on the vehicle.

So, what's the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Because the product is predominantly ionised water, it's just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

In case you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it asap. And most definitely never start the engine - not even to relocate it into a parking bay. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you would probably have to have the entire fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is definitely a significant situation to take care of in an automobile - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel may well lead to idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out correctly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to take care of both situations rather quickly.

Remember however that any time the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted as the previous one will probably be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to a vehicle parking bay we will be able to reach the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel tank placed at the back of your garden full of unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many private and industrial premises in Cheshire to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or possibly even a few drums in a shed, provided that we are able to access it, we could certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Lach Dennis (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a full Cheshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to re-fill your car any time you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at pump price) and refill the car. They will be able to take care of the usual problems which may go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or maybe flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Lach Dennis - Lach Dennis Fuel Rescue

I'd had a wonderful day cycling during my holiday and was feeling satisfied with myself the following working day as I was on the way to help a young family who were on holiday in Lach Dennis. They'd broken down after filling petrol in their Skoda, and were approximately half an hour away. I turned up at their location and smirked to myself as I listened to the girl telling her husband off for turning out to be so foolish. "Exactly how could you conceivably find a way to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I wanted to explain that this kind of thing takes place on a regular basis in Cheshire and that it is absolutely nothing to fret about, and yet he still had an ear bashing by his wife. Poor lad. In any case, I drained all the polluted fuel, flushed the engine and filled them up with the proper fuel. As they drove down the road I mouthed bon voyage and thought about what her indoors would tell me if I made the very same blunder... I would personally under no circumstances live it down!
