Our Services:

Below are the top services we provide to our clients.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Perth and Kinross we are discovering more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly stemming from motorists not understanding how to work with it (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly near to each other on the car.

Now, precisely what is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is actually like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it as soon as possible. And certainly take care not to start up the motor - not even to maneuver it from the pump. Assuming you have started the vehicle you will very likely have to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant condition to take care of in a vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol can certainly bring about idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with correctly, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out when compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both cases pretty swiftly.

Take note however that whenever the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will undoubtedly be totally wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to an automobile parking spot we can gain access to the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've completed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel container sitting in the rear of your garden full of out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several private and industrial properties in Perth and Kinross to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a few drums in a shed, if we can access it, we can empty it.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Aberfeldy (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a full Perth and Kinross Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to fill up your car if you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at pump prices) and fill your car or truck. They will be able to fix the normal troubles that can go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or maybe dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Aberfeldy - Aberfeldy Wrong Fuel Assist

I had a terrific day cycling during my afternoon off and was feeling cheerful the next working day as I headed out to help a new family who were on holiday in Aberfeldy. They stopped after filling diesel in their Jaguar, and the car was around half an hour's travel away. I emerged at their position and smiled while I heard to the gal berating her husband for turning out to be so confused. "Exactly how could you actually be able to fill the car up with the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I attempted to tell her that this takes place on daily basis in Perth and Kinross and that it is nothing at all to be anxious about, nonetheless he in spite of everything had an earful by his missus. I felt genuine sympathy for the guy. Anyway, I removed the contaminated fuel, flushed the engine and gave them some correct fuel. While watching them drive down the road I waved farewell and considered what her indoors would do to me if ever I made the very same error... I'd personally never ever hear the end of it!
