We got to him within fifteen minutes as our technician was in neighbouring Airth and had concluded a fuel drain. He said, "I just can't believe I put unleaded in my diesel car and broke down here! My vehicle was so spluttery I basically had to stop and after that it just died."

Services We Give:

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue Contamination

All around Falkirk we are noticing progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is in part a result of drivers not understanding the right way to to make use of (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right near to each other on the car.

Now, what is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? As the product is mostly deionised water, it is almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Also, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

Phone us in the event that you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can easily correct different types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious matter to deal with in a vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Having water in the petrol or diesel is likely to cause idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied fully, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove compared to water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. However we can take care of both cases very simply.

Take note though that in the event that the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to a car parking spot we will be able to reach the storage and drain out the fuel. We've done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel reservoir lying at the back of your garden with unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and commercial properties in Falkirk to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even several drums in a storage shed, providing we are able to get to it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Airth (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a comprehensive Falkirk Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to fill up your car in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at cost) and fill up your car. They are also able to handle the common problems which may go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Airth - Airth Wrong Fuel Drain

A guy had stopped just near a street in Airth. His Hyundai car had stopped operating and he'd no idea what was the problem till he realised he put the wrong fuel in his diesel car. He phoned us to request a fuel drain and it was then when he said to us: "I can not believe that I didn't know that I put the wrong fuel in my vehicle." He stated that he had gotten zero sleep the night before and that could have been the reason why.
