It was before 5 pm on a Saturday and while we were guaranteed a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Ryan and me were sitting discussing the golf rankings, ready for the sixth fuel drain of the day to arrive. Inevitably we had the phone call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had pulled into the Tesco filling garage in Manley and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Audi hire car. The unfortunate thing was quite distressed it seemed, stating "I simply can't believe that I have ruined the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle I totally didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I asked her to relax and not to fret, and that these things often happen. She had managed to get the car to a safe area and, since it was no more than a few miles from our van, we could get to the customer without delay.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Cheshire we are finding more and more examples of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to a degree thanks to motorists not understanding the right way to work with it (note: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually right near to each other on the automobile.

Well, what is the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Since AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition to this, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out at once. And absolutely do not start up the car - not even to relocate it away from the pump. Assuming you have started the car you would most likely need to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is definitely an important matter to handle in a car - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel may produce idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed fully, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both situations quite swiftly.

Remember that if ever the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will undoubtedly be completely wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to parking bay we should be able to access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

We have been called out to numerous private and business premises in Cheshire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages.

We're able to get out to refill your car in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at home.
