It was just before 7 pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry evening, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Dan and me were seated there talking over the sports results, at the ready for the 6th fuel drain for the day to come in. Eventually we received a call from a girl on a business expedition who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol station in Newtownards and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Mercedes lease car in error. The unfortunate thing was very affected apparently, crying "I simply can't believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I just advised her to calm down and not to fret, plus that such things regrettably happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle to a protected space and, because it was no more than a few minutes from us, we could find the woman quickly. The incorrect fuel was extracted so she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was living in. Even though we got pretty wet, it was all worth the effort to see her drive away contented and a lot less worried. A fuel drain in County Down done well in my mind!

Services We Offer:

Here are the top services we provide to our clients.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around County Down we have found a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to some extent thanks to motorists not knowing the right way to use it (please note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right near to each other on the automobile.

Now, precisely what is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Furthermore, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Phone us in the event that you are affected by AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can take care of all types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is certainly a serious matter to deal with in a vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Water in your fuel tank can easily trigger idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not remedied properly, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove than water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both circumstances fairly easily.

Keep in mind however that as long as the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to a vehicle parking bay we should be able to access the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel reservoir lying in the back of the garden with unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many privately owned and business properties in County Down for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps several containers in a garage, provided that we can access it, we are able to drain it.

Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Newtownards (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a comprehensive County Down Out of Fuel Service. We will help to re-fill your car in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) to fill your car. They are also able to deal with the most common troubles which could go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or maybe flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Newtownards - Newtownards Wrong Fuel in Car

A man contacted us from his house on a close in Newtownards. He explained, "My vehicle (a Skoda) is not starting up and is producing terrible sounds when I turn the ignition." He admitted that he had put unleaded in his diesel vehicle but then thought he would fix the issue by putting additional Diesel on top. We got there quickly, performed the fuel drain and filled it up again with fresh Diesel. He said after that he'd be absolutely sure to educate people not to fill up in addition to the wrong fuel but to get it cleaned out right away.
