It was after six pm on a Tuesday and though we were guaranteed a dry day, it hadn't ceased raining! Mark and me were sitting going over the sports rankings, ready for the next fuel drain of the day to arrive. Inevitably we had the phone call from a young lady on a business excursion who had arrived at the Tesco petrol garage in Illidge Green and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Ford rental. She was rather irritated apparently, telling me "I just can't believe that I've wrecked the car! I am so used to filling up my petrol vehicle that I had did not remember that I was running a diesel!" I just advised her to calm down and not to be concerned, plus that these things unfortunately do happen. She had managed to maneuver the car into a safe position and, seeing that it was just a few minutes from our van, we were able to find the lady right away. The contaminated fuel was drained and she could go home to the hotel she was staying in. Even though we got fairly drenched, it was all worth the effort to see her drive off relaxed and not so concerned. Yet another job in Cheshire done well in my opinion!

Services We Offer:

Listed below are our top services we give to our clients.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Cheshire we are finding an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partially caused by drivers being unsure of the right way to to make use of (please note: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right next to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it's as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Moreover, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

Give us a call in the event that you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will handle different types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is usually a serious situation to address in an automobile - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water in fuel can easily lead to idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed fully, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove as compared to water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can handle both circumstances pretty quickly.

Be aware though that in the event that the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the previous one will be completely water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. Providing the boat is either on land, or situated close to a car or truck parking bay we will be able to gain access to the storage and drain out the fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel reservoir laying in the rear of your garden with old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several domestic and business properties in Cheshire for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a few containers in a shed, if we are able to get to it, we can drain it.

Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Illidge Green (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a full Cheshire Out of Fuel Service. We will come to refill your car any time you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at pump prices) and refill your car or truck. They can also fix the most common problems which can come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
