It was just before seven pm on a Thursday and while we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it had not stopped raining! Dan and me were relaxing there discussing the weekend's footy results, waiting around for the 8th telephone call to come in. In due time we had a phone call from a girl on a business trip who had gone to the BP filling garage in Plemstall and filled petrol in a diesel Mazda lease car. The poor thing was very troubled apparently, saying "I just can't believe I've messed up the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car I had didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" We instructed her to calm down and not to fret, and that such things happen. She managed to move the car to a secure space and, seeing that it was no more than a few miles off from our van, we could arrive at the woman rather quickly. The bad fuel was extracted so she could return to the motel she was living in. Despite the fact that we got extremely wet, it was all rewarding to watch her drive off calm and not so concerned. A job in Cheshire well done in my mind!

Our Services:

Below are our top services we deliver to our customers.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Cheshire we have found a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is partly caused by drivers not understanding the right way to to make use of (note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Now, what's the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it's just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

If you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it as soon as possible. And absolutely be careful not to start the engine - not even to move it off the pump. If perhaps you did start the car you may very likely need to have the full fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious issue to deal with in a motor vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel will likely produce idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied fully, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain when compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to solve both situations rather quickly.

You should know though that so long as the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will be completely wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to a car or truck parking spot we are able to reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have succesfully done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have a fuel reservoir at the back of your premises full of out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous privately owned and business premises in Cheshire to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or even several containers in a shed, if we are able to get to it, we can drain it.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Plemstall (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a full Cheshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to re-fill your car in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at cost) and fill your car or truck. They will handle the usual problems which can go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or even dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Plemstall - Plemstall Wrong Fuel

A guy had stopped just off a street in Plemstall. His Toyota engine had stopped functioning and he had no clue what was the problem until he realised he put unleaded in his diesel vehicle. He contacted us to request a fuel drain and that is when he informed us: "I can not believe that I did not detect that I had put the incorrect fuel in my vehicle." He claimed that he had gotten zero rest the evening before and that could have been the key reason why.
