It was close to ten pm on a Saturday and even though we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Dan and me were resting going over the recent golf rankings, ready for the sixth call of the day to come in. Eventually we got the phone call from a young lady on a business excursion who had arrived at the Tesco petrol station in Newtownards and put petrol in a diesel MINI lease car in error. The poor lady was very irritated apparently, saying "I can't believe I've messed up the car! I'm so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I had did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just instructed her to relax and not to be concerned, and that such things regrettably often happen. She was able to maneuver the car to a safe spot and, since it was no more than a few miles from the office, we were able to find her rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was drained and she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was staying in. Although we got pretty wet, it was all worth the time to see her drive home contented and less apprehensive. One more misfuel correction in County Down done well in my mind!

Here's a list of the wrong fuel services we deliver.

AdBlue Contamination

All around County Down we have encountered a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly stemming from motorists not knowing the right way to to make use of (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right close to one another on the automobile.

So, what exactly is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing that the product is mainly ionised water, it is actually like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water will not blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

In case you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And obviously take care not to start the motor - not even to move it away from the pump. If you have started the vehicle you will most likely need to have the full fuel system purged and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a significant issue to handle in a car - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Having water in fuel tank can potentially contribute to idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not dealt with correctly, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain as compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both cases rather simply.

Bear in mind that if ever the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the old one will likely be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to an automobile parking bay we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have a fuel tank laying at the back of your garden full of old, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many private and business properties in County Down to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps numerous drums in a garage, provided that we are able to get to it, we can empty it.

Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Newtownards (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a comprehensive County Down Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to fill up your car in cases where you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at cost) and fill up your vehicle. They are also able to deal with any of the normal issues that may accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, and even dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Assist Newtownards - Newtownards Wrong Fuel Doctor

I had appreciated a fantastic evening hiking on the weekend and was feeling delighted the next morning as I set out to assist a young family who were on holiday in Newtownards. They had pulled over after filling petrol in their Honda, and they were about half an hour away. I arrived at their position and smiled to myself while I listened to the gal telling her hubby off for turning out to be so silly. "Just how could you actually be able to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I wanted to explain that this goes on frequently in County Down and that it's absolutely nothing to stress about, even so he all the same had an ear bashing. I felt genuine sympathy for the guy. Anyhow, I cleaned up and removed all of the wrong fuel, flushed the motor and gave them some appropriate fuel. Watching while they drove down the road I mouthed good bye and considered what her indoors would say to me in the event that I made the same mistake... I'd personally never hear the end of it!
