It was after 8 pm on a Tuesday and while we were assured a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Ray and I were resting talking over the weekend's rugby rankings, prepared for the 8th fuel drain for the day to come in. Inevitably we got the call from a woman on a business trip who had gone to the Texaco filling station in Londonderry and put the wrong fuel in her diesel SEAT rental car in error. She was pretty distressed it seemed, telling me "I simply cannot believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I am so used to filling up my petrol car that I completely did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I asked her to calm down and not to be concerned, and also that things like this can happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle to a secure position and, as it was no more than a few miles away from the office, we were able to find her swiftly. The contaminated fuel was removed and she could go home to the Premier Inn she was staying at. Although we got really soaked, it was all worth it seeing her drive off relaxed and not so stressed. Another job in County Derry well done in my books!

Services We Provide:

We can assist you with all these mis-fuel problems.

Adding the wrong fuel - Adding petrol fuel to a diesel engine can cause all sorts of problems.

Once that occurs, you'll notice your engine to start coughing or it might stall. You'll see unusual smoke in the exhaust and starting it back is a problem. If the situation is reverse where diesel is pumped on the petrol engine, the symptoms are still similar. Either way, we will fix it for you.

Water mistakenly added in the tank - If your tank is contaminated with water, it is essential that water has to be flushed out. Otherwise, your engine may start to rev up, splutter or jolt when you push the accelerator. This does not include your engine starting to build rust. An incident like this does not happen to boats only; this can happen to your car too. It must be drained out of the fuel system. Luckily we're experts on this type of job.

AdBlue directly added to your tank - Mistakenly adding AdBlue to your tank can contaminate your fuel system. People usually don?t have a concrete idea of what AdBlue is for. It?s not a fuel additive. It?s a liquid that helps reduce the bad effect on our environment simply by reducing the emissions in the car?s exhaust. It should be added via a separate tank, not straight to the fuel tank. In the event you fall victim to this contamination, let?s us do the flushing job.

Red Diesel Contamination - Generally this occurs because of accident. It can easily occur if you are distracted or exhausted, from a filling pump or jerry can, and it's no surprise when the AA says as many as 1500 UK garages sell red diesel. Should this happen to you unexpectedly, just contact us and we'll do the job for you.

Old fuel unused for quite a while - Another service we readily give is drainage of old fuel. People might think that fuel can't go bad, that once stored it can last for many years on end, but that just is not true. Fuel degrades after some time. The more it has degraded the more damage it can potentially cause on your engine. Don't be tricked if your vehicle runs fine on degraded fuel. It's a disaster waiting to happen. Our team can stop that problem.

Petrol in Diesel Londonderry - Londonderry Vehicle Misfuel

A customer rang us from his home on a street in Londonderry. He exclaimed, "My car (a Volvo) is not starting up and is generating very bad noises when I turn the key." He admitted that he had put petrol in his diesel car but then reckoned he would remedy the problem by putting more Diesel on top. We were on scene quickly, did the drain and filled it up once again with fresh Diesel. He said after that he would be absolutely sure to explain to people not to fill up on top of the wrong fuel but to get it drained right away.
