It was just after 6 pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were promised a rainless afternoon, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Dan and I were relaxing going over the golf results, waiting for the sixth call of the day to come in. Finally we received a phone call from a woman on a business excursion who had gone to the Texaco petrol garage in Winwick and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Fiat hire car in error. The poor lady was rather distressed by the sounds of it, telling me "I still can't believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling my petrol car I completely forgot I was driving a diesel!" I instructed her to settle back and not to fret, and that things like this regrettably can happen. She was able to maneuver the car to a protected position and, seeing that it was just a short distance away from the office, we could find the lady right away. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to once again go back to the motel she was staying at. Although we got very wet, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive off satisfied and not so anxious. One more misfuel correction in Cheshire done well in my mind!

We can assist you with these mis-fuel mistakes.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Cheshire we are encountering a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination where somebody has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is partly thanks to people being unsure of how to use it (please note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly near to one another on the car.

Now, exactly what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Because AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Phone us if you are suffering from AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and are able to correct all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question an important issue to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in your diesel or petrol can potentially cause idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not dealt with correctly, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove as compared to water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to resolve both circumstances fairly simply.

Be aware though that as long as the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to parking bay we will be able to reach the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have succesfully done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel reservoir sitting in the rear of the garden containing aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many private and industrial properties in Cheshire to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even some drums in an outbuilding, assuming that we can reach it, we can drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Winwick (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a comprehensive Cheshire Out of Fuel Service. We can help to refill your vehicle if you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump price) and refill your vehicle. They can also handle the common troubles which might go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or maybe flat batteries because of over-cranking.
