We are SPA accredited, and delivers countrywide cover for anyone who has accidentally filled up with the wrong fuel.

It was before 10 pm on a Monday and although we were promised a dry and fresh night, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Ryan and me were resting discussing the recent rugby, at the ready for the seventh telephone call of the day to arrive. In due time we had a phone call from a girl on a company expedition who had arrived at the BP filling garage in Longford and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Fiat hire car. The poor lady was quite troubled apparently, saying "I can't believe I've messed up the vehicle! I am so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I had didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" We instructed her to settle back and not to be concerned, and that such things regrettably can happen. She managed to get the vehicle into a safe space and, seeing as it was no more than a few minutes from where we were, we could get to the customer swiftly. The contaminated fuel was extracted and she could return to the hotel she was residing at. Despite the fact that we got very wet, it was all rewarding seeing her drive off calm and less concerned. Yet another fuel drain in Cheshire done well in my mind!

Services We Offer:

Listed here are the top services we give to our customers.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Cheshire we are discovering an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part a result of drivers not knowing the way to work with it (be aware: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right near to each other on the automobile.

So, precisely what is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing that the product is primarily ionised water, it is as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

Give us a call if you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and are able to attend to every type of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is certainly a significant matter to handle in a vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel can certainly lead to idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of effectively, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain as compared with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to resolve both situations pretty quickly.

Bear in mind though that if the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one is going to be wholly wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to a car or truck parking spot we are able to reach the tanks and drain out the fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel container at the rear of the garden containing out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many privately owned and commercial properties in Cheshire to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered 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 container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even several drums in a storage shed, provided that we can get to it, we are able to empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Longford (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a complete Cheshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to re-fill your car in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at cost) and fill the car. They will take care of any of the standard problems which could come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or maybe flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue Longford - Longford Wrong Fuel Drain

A man had conked out just off a street in Longford. His Toyota motor had stopped running and he had no clue what was awry till he noticed he put petrol in his diesel car. He phoned us to request a fuel drain and that is when he explained to us: "I can't believe that I did not realise that I had put the wrong fuel in my vehicle." He said that he had gotten virtually no sleep the evening before and that must have been the key reason why.
