This is exactly what we do best.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Aberdeenshire we are finding a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination when a person has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to some extent caused by people not being aware of the way to use it (note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually right near to each other on the car.

Well, what's the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? As the product is mainly deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Additionally, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

Call us if you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and have the ability to handle all kinds of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is without question a significant condition to take care of in a car - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel will result in idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not addressed properly, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can solve both circumstances quite simply.

Remember though that as long as the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will be completely water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to a car or truck parking bay we will be able to access the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container lying at the back of the garden full of out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many private and business premises in Aberdeenshire to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even numerous containers in a storage shed, provided that we are able to reach it, we could certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Banff (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a comprehensive Aberdeenshire Out of Fuel Service. We will help to re-fill your car in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at pump prices) and fill your car. They will deal with the standard issues which might accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or maybe flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Fuel Removal Banff - Banff Wrong Fuel

A gentleman had broken down just near a street in Banff. His Porsche engine had stopped working and he had no idea what was wrong until eventually he realised he put petrol in his diesel vehicle. He rang us to request a fuel drain and it was then when he informed us: "I can't believe that I did not comprehend that I had put the wrong fuel in my vehicle." He claimed that he had gotten no rest the night before and that must have been the reason why.
