It was just after 7 pm on a Monday and although we were guaranteed a dry night, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Mark and me were relaxing there commenting on the recent rugby rankings, waiting for the 8th telephone call for the day to come in. Eventually we had the call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had pulled into the BP filling garage in Bollington and put petrol in her diesel Honda rental car by mistake. The poor lady was pretty agitated apparently, saying "I simply can't believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling my petrol car I totally did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I just told her to relax and not to be concerned, also that these things unfortunately can happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle to a safe area and, because it was just a short distance away from us, we could arrive at the woman rather quickly. The wrong fuel was removed so she was able to go home to the Premier Inn she was staying at. Although we got extremely drenched, it was all worth the time to see her drive home relaxed and much less anxious. A job in Cheshire done well in my mind!

This is what we do best.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Cheshire we have seen an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination when somebody has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partially as a result of drivers not being totally sure how to work with it (be aware: it is actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly next to each other on the vehicle.

Now, precisely what is the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Moreover, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

In the event that you put AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it asap. And certainly be careful not to switch on the engine - not even to relocate it from the pump. If you have started the car you would in all likelihood need to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is definitely a serious situation to handle in an automobile - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Water in the fuel will contribute to idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed fully, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of compared to water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both cases pretty quickly.

Bear in mind that any time the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the old one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or parked close to a car or truck parking bay we should be able to reach the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel reservoir sitting in the rear of your garden containing aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous privately owned and industrial properties in Cheshire for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even a few containers in a shed, assuming that we can reach it, we can certainly drain it.

Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Bollington (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a full Cheshire Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to refill your vehicle in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at cost) and refill your vehicle. They will be able to deal with the normal problems which may go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or maybe dead batteries because of over-cranking.
