It was about six pm on a Saturday and though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh night, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Paul and me were seated talking over the weekend's football results, ready for the 8th telephone call that day to arrive. Finally we got a phone call from a girl on a company expedition who had gone to the Texaco filling garage in Downpatrick and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel MG lease car in error. The unfortunate lady was very agitated it seemed, stating "I just can't believe I've destroyed the car! I'm just so used to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I had forgot I was driving a diesel!" I asked her to take it easy and not to fret, and also that such things can happen. She managed to get the car into a secure spot and, seeing as it was just a short distance away from our van, we could get to the lady rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was staying in. Even though we got extremely soaked, it was all rewarding to see her drive home contented and a lot less stressed. A job in County Down well done in my mind!

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout County Down we are finding a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to some extent due to motorists not being totally sure how to to make use of (important: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly near to each other on the car.

Well, what exactly is the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing that the product is mainly ionised water, it is like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Additionally, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

If you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained immediately. And most definitely never start the motor - not even to relocate it into a parking place. In the event that you have started the car you will probably need to have the complete fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious situation to take care of in a motor vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines. Having water in the diesel or petrol is likely to bring about idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with fully, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to resolve both circumstances very easily.

Keep in mind however that so long as the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter to be installed as the old one will be wholly wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. As long as the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to a car parking bay we can gain access to the tanks and drain out the fuel. We've undertaken numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Wrong Fuel Drain Downpatrick - Downpatrick Fuel Rescue

I had a perfect day cycling during my off day and felt contented the next day as I was on the way to help a new family who were holidaying in Downpatrick. They broken down after inserting petrol into their MG, and they were around an hour's travel away. I got there at their car and smirked to myself as I heard to the woman telling her hubby off for actually being so stupid. "Precisely how could you even find a way to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she said to him. I wanted to tell her that this situation takes place continuously in County Down and that it's nothing to be anxious about, nonetheless he still had an earful by his wife. Unlucky chap. Anyways, I removed all of the polluted fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled it up with the proper fuel. Watching while they drove off I shouted bon voyage and considered what my wife would say to me in the event that I made the same blunder... I'd personally never hear the end of it!
