It was after 9 pm on a Wednesday and although we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't ceased pouring! Mark and me were sitting there discussing the weekend's tennis results, waiting around for the 8th fuel drain of the day to come in. Eventually we had the call from a girl on a company excursion who had gone to the Shell filling station in Derry and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Dacia rental by mistake. The unfortunate thing was somewhat irritated it seemed, stating "I can not believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I am just so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" We advised her to relax and not to be concerned, and that these things happen. She was able to get the vehicle into a safe spot and, as it was only a few miles from the office, we were able to reach the woman swiftly. The incorrect fuel was extracted and she was able to return to the Travelodge she was residing at. Despite the fact that we got very soaked, it was all worth the time seeing her drive away contented and not so stressed. Another fuel drain in County Londonderry well done in my books!

Services We Provide:

Helping you get back on the road is our main goal.

Tank filled with incorrect fuel - Diesel engine filled with petrol fuel is damaging and should be given attention immediately. Your car will start to show some signs like an unusual amount of smoke in the exhaust. It will cough and splutter too. Not only that, starting the engine back is practically impossible once you've switched it off.

Tank filled up with water - Water can contaminate your engine and it must be taken out of the fuel system in order to avoid damages and rust in your engine. Once you accelerate hard your engine, it may begin to rev up and jolt. Contamination like this is not just common in boats. This can happen to the vehicle too because of the jerry cans that were previously used as a water container then later used as fuel container where water was not completely emptied.

AdBlue directly added to your tank - Mistakenly adding AdBlue to your tank can contaminate your fuel system. People commonly don?t have a concrete idea of what AdBlue is for. It?s not a fuel additive. It?s a liquid that helps reduce the negative effect on our environment by reducing the emissions in the car?s exhaust. It should be added via a separate tank, not immediately to the fuel tank. If you fall victim to this contamination, let?s us do the flushing job.

Red Diesel Contamination - Mostly this takes place due to accident. Distraction or not focused in filling the tank from a tank or jerry can is one of the typical reasons of this contamination. This can probably take place as there are 1500 UK garages that sell this kind of diesel. Simply call us right away and we'll help you take away red diesel in your tank.

Driving with Old Fuel - As time passes by and your car or truck is idle for a long time, the quality of your fuel degrades. This takes place if the vehicle is not driven and has been on standby for a long period of time and the fuel has been in the tank unused. Your engine might start and run, but it probably will not run as well. Draining out the old fuel is a service we are more than capable of doing.

Wrong Fuel Drain Derry - Derry Wrong Fuel in Car

I had a perfect evening fishing during my off day and was feeling delighted with myself the following morning as I set off to aid a new family vacationing in Derry. They stopped after adding diesel into their Citroen, and the car was close to an hour's travel away. I got there at their location and smiled to myself while I listened to the lady telling off her man for turning out to be so foolish. "How could you conceivably be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she said to him. I tried to tell her that this takes place constantly in County Londonderry and that it's nothing to worry about, nonetheless he all the same had his ear bent. Poor guy. Anyways, I removed the polluted fuel, flushed the motor and filled it up with the appropriate fuel. Watching as they drove away I waved farewell and wondered what her indoors would tell me if ever I made the very same blunder... I'd personally under no circumstances live it down!
