It was about seven pm on a Saturday and although we were assured a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring! Brian and I were seated talking about the weekend's footy results, at the ready for the 8th job that day to come in. Eventually we got the phone call from a girl on a business trip who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol garage in Otterspool and put petrol in a diesel MG rental car by mistake. The poor lady was rather irritated apparently, saying "I still can't believe that I have messed up the car! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I asked her to relax and not to fret, also that such things unfortunately often happen. She had managed to move the vehicle into a secure area and, because it was no more than a short distance from the office, we could reach the woman swiftly. The incorrect fuel was extracted so she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was residing in. Despite the fact we got really soaked, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive away satisfied and a lot less concerned. Yet another fuel drain in Merseyside well done in my mind!

Listed here are our top services we deliver to our customers.

AdBlue Contamination

All around Merseyside we are identifying more and more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to a degree as a result of motorists not understanding how to use it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right close to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what's the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? As the product is predominantly ionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Apart from this, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Give us a call if it turns out you are suffering from AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and are able to attend to different types of AdBlue contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be an important issue to take care of in a vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank can lead to idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of properly, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can handle both circumstances very expediently.

Take note that if the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will likely be totally water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or parked close to a car parking bay we are able to access the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We have completed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got an old fuel tank sitting in the rear of your garden full of aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and business properties in Merseyside for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or even a number of containers in a storage shed, if we are able to reach it, we are able to drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Otterspool (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a complete Merseyside Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to re-fill your vehicle if you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) to fill up the car. They can also deal with any of the standard troubles that might accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Fuel Removal Otterspool - Otterspool Wrong Fuel Doctor

A week ago a driver called us just after his Skoda died along a road in Otterspool.

We were able to drain the incorrect fuel and put fresh diesel yet again in to the car. "Many kudos to you for your immediate response, particularly at 1 a.m., I truly am grateful for it."
