AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around County Antrim we are discovering an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent as a consequence of motorists not knowing the right way to use it (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

So, exactly what is the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Since the product is mostly ionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Moreover, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

If you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it at the earliest opportunity. And of course take care not to start the car - not even to shift it away from the pump. In case you did start the car you will probably have to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious situation to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank can potentially cause idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied correctly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can solve both cases rather expediently.

Be aware though that as long as the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one is going to be completely wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to a motor vehicle parking spot we are able to access the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel tank laying at the back of the garden full of aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to numerous private and business properties in County Antrim to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a few containers in a storage shed, provided that we can get to it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Ballymena (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a comprehensive County Antrim Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to refill the car any time you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump price) and refill the car. They will be able to deal with the common troubles that could come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, as well as dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Assist Ballymena - Ballymena Wrong Fuel in Car

I appreciated a great afternoon hiking during my afternoon off and felt pleased with myself the following working day as I was en route to help a new couple on vacation in Ballymena. They had stopped after adding the wrong fuel in their MINI, and they were about half an hour away. I emerged at their location and smirked while I listened to the lady telling her hubby off for turning out to be so stupid. "Precisely how could you conceivably manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she said to him. I tried to clarify that this occurs regularly in County Antrim and that it is absolutely nothing to get worried about, but he still had his ear bent by his wife. Poor chap. Anyhow, I removed the wrong fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave them some right fuel. As they drove down the road I shouted so long and wondered what my wife would say to me if ever I did the same thing... I'd never hear the end of it!

Recent Fuel Drains in Ballymena

A few examples:

I'm not actually excessively inclined to doing work weekends, and a couple weeks ago was the same. I had just come away from the family after having a wonderful lunch prepared by the missus, and I was off to assist a man who had put the wrong fuel in his Citroen. He was located in Ballymena hence I was on scene very quickly. Just as I pulled up at the car and stepped out he told me "Praise the Almighty! I incredibly had my attention on other stuff and did not realise I had put diesel in my petrol car. Have I inflicted harm by simply starting it?" I determined there probably should not be any kind of damage and that also I would personally get the contaminated fuel drained as quickly as possible for him. As expected I drained the contaminated fuel from the car and filled up with some appropriate fuel, and thus yet another satisfied customer had the ability to continue their trip without any subsequent fuss. The man could not stop thanking me, and that is what can make earning a living on weekends in County Antrim just that small bit less painful to me!

Wrong Fuel Doctor Ballymena - Ballymena Fuel Removal

This was certainly the graveyard shift. It was roughly sunrise and hardly anyone was stirring. It had become pretty quiet thus far, and me and John were relaxing looking through a number of old papers. It was a rare tranquil hour in County Antrim. Actually it was in fact so tranquil that when the telephone rang I leaped! The customer said: "I've just concluded my evening shift and stupidly put petrol in a diesel Lexus by mistake". I told him to tell us where exactly he was and we set off, reaching him in Ballymena under 30 minutes later. The wrong fuel was extracted from the motor. He thanked us for getting there so quickly. As we were going back to the depot we found two young women on the edge of the highway who appeared to have a flat. Obviously we got out to help them change it, much to their delight.

Wrong Fuel in Car Ballymena - Ballymena Fuel Rescue

A person phoned us from his home on a street in Ballymena. He exclaimed, "My car (a Volvo) is not running and is generating terrible noises when I turn the ignition." He said that he had put petrol in his diesel car but then thought he would resolve the problem by putting extra Diesel on top. We were on scene promptly, carried out the fuel drain and filled him up again with untainted Diesel. He said that he'd be certain to explain to people not to fill up on top of the incorrect fuel but to get it cleaned out immediately.
