She was rather agitated it seemed, telling me "I can not believe that I've destroyed the car!

Our Fields of Expertise:

Here are the top services we deliver to our clients.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Cheshire we have identified a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination when someone has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is in part as a result of people being unsure of the right way to use it (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly near to each other on the car.

Now, what's the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Since the product is primarily ionised water, it's as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition to this, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

If perhaps you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And obviously take care not to crank the motor - not even to relocate it off of the pump. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you would likely have to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is usually a serious issue to handle in a car - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Water in the fuel can potentially bring about idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied fully, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of than water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to take care of both circumstances very easily.

Bear in mind however that as long as the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will likely be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to an automobile parking bay we can access the tanks and drain out the fuel. We have undertaken numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel container lying in the back of your garden with out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several privately owned and business premises in Cheshire to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even a number of containers in a garage, if we are able to reach it, we can drain it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Peover Heath (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a complete Cheshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to re-fill your car if you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at pump prices) to refill your car or truck. They will be able to handle the most common problems that may accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
