We are very professional fuel drain experts in Eccleston, who are on hand 24 hours a day to aid you at the roadside.

It was close to 9 pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Mark and me were resting talking about the footy, waiting around for the next telephone call that day to arrive. In due time we received the phone call from a woman on a business expedition who had gone to the Texaco filling garage in Eccleston and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Land Rover lease car in error. The unfortunate thing was rather distressed apparently, telling me "I can not believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol car I completely forgot I was operating a diesel!" I just asked her to settle back and not to worry, also that these things unfortunately can happen. She managed to move the vehicle into a safe space and, because it was just a few minutes off from where we were, we were able to arrive at the lady rather quickly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was residing in. Although we got pretty drenched, it was all worth the time to watch her drive off calm and a lot less concerned. One more fuel drain in Merseyside done well in my mind!

Listed below are our top services we give to our customers.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Merseyside we have noticed a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination where a driver has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially stemming from drivers not knowing the right way to work with it (note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually right adjacent to each other on the car.

Well, precisely what is the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Because AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it's as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it as soon as possible. And most certainly never turn over the motor - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. In the instance that you did start the car you may very likely have to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important condition to address in a vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Water in fuel can certainly contribute to idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied effectively, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove than water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to solve both situations very quickly.

Take note that as long as the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to a car parking bay we can reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel container lying in the rear of your premises full of unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and industrial premises in Merseyside to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a few containers in a garage, assuming that we are able to reach it, we are able to drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Eccleston (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a complete Merseyside Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to re-fill your car any time you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) to refill your automobile. They can also take care of the typical issues which can go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, as well as dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Eccleston - Eccleston Wrong Fuel in Car

I'd had a great evening hiking during the weekend and was feeling satisfied with myself the following morning as I set off to help a young family vacationing in Eccleston. They had stopped after inserting petrol in their Lexus, and they were around half an hour's travel away. I emerged at their car and smirked as I listened to the gal chastising her husband for actually being so confused. "How could you conceivably manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she demanded of him. I attempted to tell her that this situation occurs frequently in Merseyside and that it's absolutely nothing to fret about, even so he still had an ear bashing. Unlucky lad. Anyhow, I cleaned up and removed all of the polluted fuel, flushed the motor and gave them some correct fuel. Watching as they drove down the road I mouthed good-bye and wondered what my missus would do to me in the event that I did the very same thing... I would never hear the end of it!
