It was before five pm on a Thursday and even though we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't ceased raining! Ray and me were seated going over the recent sports rankings, prepared for the 6th call to come in. In due time we had a phone call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had pulled into the BP petrol garage in Ballyclare and filled petrol in a diesel Dacia rental. She was pretty irritated apparently, stating "I still cannot believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" We asked her to relax and not to worry, also that these things sadly do happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle into a protected spot and, seeing as it was only a short distance away from where we were, we could arrive at the customer swiftly. The bad fuel was removed and she could once again go back to the motel she was residing in. Despite the fact we got really drenched, it was all worth the effort to see her drive away satisfied and much less stressed. Yet another fuel drain in County Antrim well done in my books!

We are willing to take the wrong fuel work.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout County Antrim we have encountered progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination where someone has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly stemming from drivers not understanding how to work with it (pay attention: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly next to one another on the car.

So, what exactly is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Since the product is primarily ionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Moreover, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

In the event that you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it immediately. And obviously be careful not to crank the vehicle - not even to relocate it into a parking area. In cases where you did start the car you may very likely need to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, tends to be an important situation to handle in a car - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel tank can potentially bring about idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed effectively, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to handle both situations pretty quickly.

Remember that any time the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the old one will be totally wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or moored near to a motor vehicle parking spot we will be able to reach the tanks and drain out the fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container laying at the back of your premises full of unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many privately owned and business premises in County Antrim to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a few drums in a garage, if we can get to it, we can drain it.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Ballyclare (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a complete County Antrim Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to re-fill your car any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at pump prices) and fill your automobile. They can also handle the usual troubles that may go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or maybe flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Assist Ballyclare - Ballyclare Petrol in Diesel

A motorist had conked out just near a road in Ballyclare. His Mitsubishi car had ceased running and he'd no idea what was faulty until eventually he realised he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel car. He called us to request a fuel drain and it was then when he said to us: "I can't believe that I didn't realise that I had put the incorrect fuel in my car." He said that he had gotten no sleep the evening before and that must have been precisely why.
