A customer broken down on a road in Alness required a fuel drain close to a month back. His Lexus was broken down on the side of the road after he had filled up with the wrong fuel. He was relaxed when he called us but a little concerned to move his car off the road because he was causing considerable congestion. We arrived in 15 minutes as our technician was in nearby Alness and had done his previous job. He said, "I can not believe I put unleaded in my diesel car and got stuck here! My car was so spluttery I were forced to stop and subsequently it cut out."

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Highland we are noticing increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is mostly caused by people not being totally sure the right way to use it (important: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually right next to each other on the car.

Well, what exactly is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Apart from this, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it immediately. And most definitely be careful not to crank the motor - not even to shift it to a parking bay. If perhaps you have started the car you would most likely have to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded or diesel, can be a significant issue to address in an automobile - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Having water in your petrol or diesel can certainly bring about idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not sorted out fully, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can handle both cases rather simply.

You should know however that if ever the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will be wholly wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or situated near to parking bay we should be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container laying in the back of your garden full of unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to numerous private and business premises in Highland to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a few containers in a garage, assuming that we can access it, we could certainly empty it.

Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Alness (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a full Highland Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to re-fill your car in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at cost) and fill up your car or truck. They will be able to handle any of the common issues that could go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Alness - Alness Petrol in Diesel

I had a perfect afternoon golfing during the weekend and felt contented with myself the next morning as I was en route to assist a young family holidaying in Alness. They had conked out after inserting diesel in their Mercedes, and the car was about an hour's travel away. I got there at their car and smirked to myself as I heard to the woman telling her hubby off for being so daft. "Precisely how could you conceivably find a way to fill the vehicle up by using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I attempted to clarify that this situation comes to pass everyday in Highland and that it's nothing to worry about, nonetheless he all the same got an earful. Unfortunate chap. Anyway, I cleaned up and removed all the contaminated fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled them up with the right fuel. While they drove down the road I mouthed good bye and wondered what her indoors would do to me in the event that I did the same thing... I'd personally never hear the end of it!
