Wrong Fuel Lisburn - Lisburn Wrong Fuel Drain

Ahhh, that was a quality night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 in the morning on a gloomy Saturday and we were on the way to help an elder woman who had put petrol in her diesel Hyundai in Lisburn. She told us that she had left the petrol station and was stranded along a country lane en route to pay a visit to her grandchildren. I got the location plugged in the TomTom and was with her in less than an hour or so. I got to the vehicle and removed the wrong fuel from the vehicle. As I was doing it she said to me, "I'm becoming somewhat forgetful in my senior years and didn't remember about the car taking diesel since I'd just bought it several days back when my other car, which I had used for more than 30 years, eventually died on me". I completed the drain and she offered me a peppermint and thanked me for my work. What a delightful County Antrim lady!

Our Areas of Expertise :

These are the fuel mistakes services we can extend to you:

AdBlue Contamination

All over County Antrim we have seen progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is in part thanks to motorists being unsure of the right way to use it (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right next to one another on the vehicle.

So, what exactly is the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing that the product is mainly ionised water, it is as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Furthermore, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

If you find you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank drain it as soon as possible. And certainly do not turn over the engine - not even to move it from the pump. Assuming you did start the vehicle you will very likely need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is generally a significant issue to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines. Water inside your diesel or petrol may result in idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied properly, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out when compared with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to handle both cases fairly expediently.

Bear in mind though that if ever the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter to be installed since the previous one will probably be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to a vehicle parking bay we are able to gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've performed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel reservoir in the back of your premises full of aged, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few private and commercial premises in County Antrim for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a few containers in a garage, as long as we are able to access it, we are able to drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Lisburn (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a comprehensive County Antrim Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to re-fill your vehicle any time you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) and fill up your automobile. They will be able to take care of the normal issues which could go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to start, as well as flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

We a few weeks ago had a phone call from a young man who put the incorrect fuel in his BMW in Lisburn. He had ground to a halt on the road. "After adding unleaded in my diesel car I didn't notice the predicament up until the time it broke down. You took the wrong fuel from my car and got it working once again. I was impressed due to both how quick you were and your price". As you can imagine we arrived on the scene promptly and flushed the engine after flushing the unleaded from the diesel tank.
