It was about 7 pm on a Tuesday and although we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Mark and I were sitting there discussing the recent tennis, at the ready for the 8th telephone call to arrive. Inevitably we got a call from a lady on a company excursion who had gone to the Esso petrol station in Grange and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Renault lease car by mistake. She was very irritated apparently, saying "I still cannot believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol car I completely didn't remember I was running a diesel!" I just asked her to relax and not to fret, and also that things like this often happen. She managed to get the vehicle to a protected spot and, seeing that it was just a few minutes from our van, we were able to arrive at the customer right away. The incorrect fuel was taken out so she could go home to the hotel she was residing at. Despite the fact that we got very wet, it was all worth it to see her drive off relaxed and less anxious. A job in Merseyside done well in my opinion!

Assuming you may have unfortunately put the completely wrong fuel in your vehicle and so now need to have the wrong fuel removed you are very likely searching the net hoping for a quick, trustworthy, professional and cost-effective fuel drain provider in Grange or Merseyside.

Our Areas of Competence :

This is exactly what we do best.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Merseyside we are identifying an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is in part stemming from motorists being unsure of the way to work with it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right close to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what exactly is the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Also, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

In case you put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out as soon as possible. And of course do not crank the engine - not even to relocate it away from the pump. In the instance that you have started the car you would almost certainly need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is petrol or diesel, is usually a serious matter to handle in a motor vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Putting water in the diesel or petrol will often bring about idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not dealt with fully, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to take care of both situations very quickly.

Bear in mind though that any time the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter to be installed because the old one will undoubtedly be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to parking spot we are able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel container in the back of your garden with old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of private and commercial premises in Merseyside to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps numerous containers in a garage, assuming that we are able to get to it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Grange (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a full Merseyside Run Out of Fuel Service. We will come to refill your vehicle any time you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump price) and fill the car. They will take care of the typical issues which could go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Grange - Grange Petrol in Diesel

A customer had conked out just near a road in Grange. His BMW engine had ceased working and he had no clue what was awry right up until he noticed he had put unleaded in his diesel vehicle. He contacted us to request a fuel drain and that is when he said to us: "I can't believe that I didn't detect that I put the incorrect fuel in my vehicle." He claimed that he had gotten very little sleep the night before and that must have been the reason why.
