Do you or your employees often misfuel your car? We can fix any related issues.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over County Antrim we are identifying increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where someone has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part as a consequence of people not understanding the way to use it (remember: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right next to one another on the vehicle.

Well, exactly what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? As the product is primarily deionised water, it's like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Moreover, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If you put AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it asap. And most definitely don't crank the motor - not even to relocate it into a parking area. Assuming you did start the vehicle you may in all likelihood need to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is usually a serious situation to address in a car - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water in diesel or petrol is likely to produce idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not addressed correctly, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain than water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both circumstances very expediently.

Take note however that whenever the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one is going to be totally wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to a vehicle parking spot we are able to reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have succesfully done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

We have been called out to numerous private and business properties in County Antrim for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even numerous drums in a shed, if we are able to access it, we can empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Assistance

We're able to come to fill up the car in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home.
