It was before 5 pm on a Tuesday and although we were guaranteed a dry night, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Dan and I were sitting talking over the recent tennis results, at the ready for the seventh fuel drain for the day to come in. In due time we got a phone call from a girl on a company trip who had arrived at the Tesco petrol garage in Ballymena and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Dacia lease car in error. She was pretty distressed by the sounds of it, stating "I cannot believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I completely didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" We instructed her to settle back and not to worry, and that such things sadly can happen. She was able to relocate the car into a safe space and, seeing that it was only a few minutes away from the office, we could get to the lady fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was extracted and she was able to get back to the motel she was staying at. Although we got pretty drenched, it was all worthwhile to see her drive off calm and much less concerned. Yet another misfuel correction in County Antrim done well in my mind!

Our Areas of Expertise :

Below are the top services we give to our clients.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

What to do if you have poured Adblue in a Diesel fuel tank? Adblue is actually damaging to your car's fuel system, especially in cases where you have had the engine running with Adblue in your fuel tank. Whenever the engine has been started the Adblue is going to be pulled into the fuel lines and will rapidly start to crystalise, bringing about disastrous and costly damage to your car's fuel system.

In case you put AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it immediately. And most definitely never start the car - not even to relocate it off the pump. In cases where you have started the vehicle you may very likely have to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is generally a significant condition to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel will often produce idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with fully, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain than water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. However we can deal with both situations very simply.

You should know though that any time the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will probably be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. As long as the boat is either on land, or parked close to an automobile parking bay we can gain access to the tanks and drain out the fuel. We have completed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank lying at the back of your premises with unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of private and business properties in County Antrim to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a few containers in a garage, assuming that we can access it, we are able to drain it.

Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Ballymena (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a complete County Antrim Out of Fuel Service. We will come to refill the car any time you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) to fill the car. They will fix any of the common problems that might come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to start, as well as dead batteries due to over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Ballymena - Ballymena Fuel Removal

I had a wonderful day hiking during the weekend and felt satisfied with myself the next working day as I headed out to assist a young family away in Ballymena. They had pulled over after adding the wrong fuel into their Ford, and the car was about an hour's drive away. I emerged at their position and smiled while I heard to the gal telling off her spouse for turning out to be so foolish. "Precisely how could you actually be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she told him. I attempted to clarify that this happens regularly in County Antrim and that it is absolutely nothing to worry about, even so he in spite of everything got his ear bent by his wife. Unfortunate boy. In any case, I cleaned up and removed all of the wrong fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave them some correct fuel. Watching them drive down the road I mouthed so long and pondered on what her indoors would say to me if I did the same thing... I'd never hear the end of it!
