It was about seven pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't stopped pouring! Dan and I were relaxing discussing the golf rankings, prepared for the seventh job for the day to arrive. Eventually we had the phone call from a woman on a business trip who had pulled into the Sainsburys filling station in Auchterarder and filled petrol in her diesel MINI lease car by mistake. She was pretty distressed by the sounds of it, saying "I still cannot believe that I have ruined the vehicle! I'm so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I just asked her to relax and not to worry, and that things like this sadly often happen. She had managed to relocate the car into a secure position and, as it was only a few miles off from where we were, we were able to arrive at her fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was taken out so she was able to get back to the hotel she was living at. Despite the fact we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth the time to watch her drive home satisfied and less stressed. Another job in Perth and Kinross well done in my mind!

What a fantastic night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 in the morning on a rainy Wednesday and we were on my way to help an old woman who put the wrong fuel in her diesel Porsche in Auchterarder. She told us that she drove away from the petrol station forecourt and was pulled up on a rural road en route to see her godchildren. I plugged the location into the Satnav and was with her inside an hour. I arrived at the stricken lady and extracted the wrong fuel in the car car. Whilst I was doing the work she told me, "I am getting rather forgetful in my senior years and did not remember about the vehicle working with diesel since I had just purchased it a few days back right after my former car, which I used for in excess of 30 years, inevitably gave up the ghost". I got the job done and she offered me a toffee and thanked me for my work. Such a precious Perth and Kinross lady!

Do you or your drivers frequently misfuel your vehicle? We can resolve any associated problems.
AdBlue Contamination
In Perth and Kinross we have found an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a person has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to a degree as a result of motorists not being aware of the way to work with it (note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partly because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right close to each other on the vehicle.
So, what is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Additionally, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.
In the case you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it right away. And of course don't switch on the motor - not even to move it off of the pump. Assuming you did start the vehicle you will almost certainly need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.
Fuel contaminated with water
Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, tends to be an important situation to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water in fuel tank is going to bring about idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with fully, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove as compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to solve both cases fairly swiftly.
Keep in mind though that any time the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one will likely be completely water-logged and ineffective.
Marine Fuel Drains
If you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. As long as the boat is either on land, or parked close to a car parking bay we should be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

We have been called out to many domestic and business premises in Perth and Kinross to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even a number of containers in a garage, provided that we are able to reach it, we can certainly drain it.

Testimonies from our own Auchterarder personnel:
We a few weeks ago got a call from a motorist who had put the wrong fuel in his Ford in Auchterarder. He had come to a stand-still on the street. "It was terrific how quick you people were in sending someone out to aid me when I stupidly unleaded in my diesel car. I'm very grateful". Of course we arrived rapidly and flushed the engine after flushing all the petrol from the diesel tank. The motorist was over the moon by the time we finished and he drove away completely satisfied.

A man who had unfortunately put unleaded in his diesel Volvo called us for help at the Murco petrol filling station in Auchterarder. He decided to top up before proceeding on to the local recreation park . "I put petrol rather than diesel and it wasn't a wonderful way to begin to our holiday break." It was really no hassle whatsoever for our technician to go out and carry out the fuel drain. We hope the family enjoyed their holiday break.
