It was just before eight pm on a Friday and though we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it had not given up on raining! Dan and I were relaxing talking about the tennis, ready for the next job that day to come in. Inevitably we received a phone call from a lady on a business excursion who had pulled into the Texaco petrol station in Ardrossan and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Honda hire car in error. The poor lady was rather agitated by the sounds of it, crying "I cannot believe I've ruined the car! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I totally forgot I was running a diesel!" I just instructed her to relax and not to worry, and that such things sadly often happen. She was able to relocate the car to a protected area and, seeing as it was just a few minutes from our van, we were able to arrive at the customer without delay. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was staying in. Even though we got pretty drenched, it was all worthwhile to see her drive away calm and a lot less apprehensive. One more misfuel correction in North Ayrshire done well in my books!

Fuel Removal Ardrossan - Ardrossan Fuel Removal
I had enjoyed a perfect evening hiking on my afternoon off and felt pleased the following day as I set off to help a young couple holidaying in Ardrossan. They'd conked out after filling the wrong fuel in their Mazda, and they were about half an hour's drive away. I turned up at their car and laughed to myself as I listened to the gal telling her partner off for being so foolish. "How could you even find a way to fill the vehicle up by using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I wanted to clarify that this takes place regularly in North Ayrshire and that it's actually nothing to worry about, but he still had an earful. I felt genuine sympathy for the chap. Anyway, I removed all the contaminated fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled them up with the correct fuel. Watching them drive down the road I shouted bon voyage and pondered on what my missus would ask me in the event that I did the same thing... I'd personally never live it down!

Offered Services:
Listed here are our top services we offer to our customers.
AdBlue In your Fuel
What you can do in case you have poured Adblue into a Diesel tank? Adblue is definitely harmful to your car's fuel system, specifically if you have had the engine running with Adblue in your diesel fuel tank. The moment the engine has been started up the Adblue will be pulled into the fuel lines and will immediately start to crystalise, triggering catastrophic and costly damage to your automobile's fuel system.
Assuming you put AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it at the earliest opportunity. And definitely be careful not to start the motor - not even to move it into a parking spot. Assuming you have started the vehicle you may probably have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.
Fuel contaminated with water
Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is usually an important issue to address in a car - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel can cause idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not dealt with fully, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can solve both cases fairly easily.
Be aware though that in the event that the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter to be installed because the previous one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and ineffective.
Motorboat Fuel Drains
If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to a car parking spot we should be able to access the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel.

Wrong Fuel Ardrossan - Ardrossan Vehicle Misfuel
I had a great day golfing during the weekend and felt satisfied with myself the following day as I set off to help a young family on holiday in Ardrossan. They had stopped after inserting the wrong fuel in their Smart, and the car was close to an hour away. I emerged at their car and smiled to myself as I heard to the girl berating her husband for actually being so foolish. "Exactly how could you even be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she asked him. I attempted to clarify that this happens on daily basis in North Ayrshire and that it's nothing at all to fret about, nevertheless he in spite of everything got his ear bent by his better half. I felt genuine sympathy for the guy. Anyways, I drained out the polluted fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave them some proper fuel. Watching them drive down the road I mouthed goodbye and wondered what my wife would ask me if I did the same thing... I'd personally under no circumstances live it down!

A few of the common examples we have heard from our technicians in Ardrossan:
We not too long ago had a call about a businessman who put the wrong fuel in his Land Rover in Ardrossan. He had conked out on the street. "After putting unleaded in my diesel car I didn't discover the problem until I conked out. You drained the wrong fuel from my car and had it functioning . I was amazed with both how quick you were and your charges". Obviously we were on-scene punctually and flushed the engine after draining all the petrol from the diesel tank. On arrival our engineer said the customer was raging, but was pleased after the fuel drain.

This was certainly the night shift. It was roughly dawn and almost noone was stirring. It had become rather dead so far, and Ryan and I were sitting around reading through some old magazines. This was an unusual restful hour in North Ayrshire. It was that calm that the instant the telephone inevitably rang it made me jump! The person on the phone stated: "I only just completed my evening shift and stupidly filled petrol in the diesel Mercedes in error". We asked him to tell us exactly where he was and we left, ending up in Ardrossan an hour later. The contaminated fuel was cleaned from the motor and he thanked us for getting there so promptly. As we were heading back home we found two women on the edge of the street who looked like they suffered a puncture. As a result we got out to change it, much to their elation.
