It was just before ten pm on a Tuesday and even though we were assured a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Dan and me were seated talking about the weekend's sports, waiting for the seventh telephone call that day to arrive. Eventually we received a call from a lady on a company trip who had gone to the BP filling garage in Airth and filled petrol in a diesel Mazda lease car. She was fairly agitated by the sounds of it, crying "I cannot believe that I have ruined the car! I'm so accustomed to filling up my petrol car I totally forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I just instructed her to calm down and not to worry, plus that things like this sadly happen. She was able to move the car to a protected position and, because it was only a short distance away from where we were, we were able to get to the woman without delay. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to return to the hotel she was residing in. Even though we got very wet, it was all rewarding seeing her drive off relaxed and a lot less worried. Another job in Falkirk well done in my books!

Listed here are our top services we deliver to our clients.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Falkirk we have discovered increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination where a driver has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is partly a result of motorists not being aware of the way to work with it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly close to each other on the automobile.

Now, exactly what is the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Since AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition to this, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Whenever you find yourself in this predicament don?t fret or panic! Contact us, the UK?s Premium fuel contamination service. Our engineers have the specialised skills and working experience to get you back on the road promptly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is actually an important issue to address in an automobile - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Water inside your diesel or petrol will likely cause idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out effectively, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain in comparison with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both situations rather quickly.

Keep in mind however that so long as the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the previous one is going to be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you have the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to a vehicle parking bay we should be able to gain access to the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have performed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel reservoir laying in the rear of the garden with out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous private and commercial premises in Falkirk to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a few drums in a storage shed, if we are able to access it, we can empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Airth (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a comprehensive Falkirk Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to re-fill your vehicle in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) to refill your automobile. They will be able to handle the typical troubles that can go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Airth - Airth Wrong Fuel Drain

A man had stopped just near a road in Airth. His Hyundai car had stopped operating and he'd no clue what was the problem right up until he realised he had put unleaded in his diesel car. He phoned us to request a fuel drain and that's when he informed us: "I can not believe that I didn't know that I put the wrong fuel in my car." He said that he had got virtually no rest the evening before and that must have been why.
