We can help you with all these mis-fuel mistakes.
AdBlue Contamination
All over Aberdeenshire we have noticed a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mainly as a consequence of drivers not being aware of the way to work with it (take note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right near to one another on the vehicle.
Now, precisely what is the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Since AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it's just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Additionally, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.
If you find you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank drain it at the earliest opportunity. And absolutely never switch on the motor - not even to move it into a parking area. In case you have started the vehicle you will in all probability need to have the full fuel system purged and filters replaced.
Fuel contaminated with water
Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a significant condition to handle in an automobile - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water in your diesel or petrol may well bring about idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not remedied effectively, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out than water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can solve both situations rather expediently.
Be aware though that in the event that the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and unusable.
Motorboat Fuel Drains
In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to an automobile parking bay we can gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have completed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}
Waste Fuel Removal
Have an old fuel tank placed at the rear of the garden full of old, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many private and business properties in Aberdeenshire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a number of containers in a storage shed, as long as we are able to get to it, we can empty it for you.
Re-Fueling Service
Out of fuel in Banff (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a comprehensive Aberdeenshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to fill up your car in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at cost) to fill the car. They can also fix the standard troubles that could go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, and even flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Banff - Banff Vehicle Misfuel
Ahhh, that was a great night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 on a bright Wednesday and we were on the way to assist an elder woman after she put contaminated fuel in her diesel Smart in Banff. I had been told she had left the filling station forecourt and was broken down along a backwater road along the way to pay a visit to her grandchildren. I plugged her location into the TomTom and got there within an hour. I arrived at the stricken lady and drained the wrong fuel out of the vehicle. As I was doing it she said to me, "Now I'm becoming quite absent-minded in my old age and forgot about the vehicle needing diesel as I'd only acquired it several days ago after my old one, which I had had for more than 25 years, eventually died". I completed the job and she gifted me a Murray mint and thanked me for my work. Such a lovely Aberdeenshire woman!

We fairly recently had a phone call about a businessman who put the incorrect fuel in his Suzuki in Banff. He had broken down on the street. "After putting unleaded in my diesel car I didn't recognise the dilemma up until the time I conked out. You removed the wrong fuel from my car and had it functioning again. I was happy by both how fast you were and your prices". Obviously we were on-scene promptly and purged the engine after flushing all the contaminated fuel from the diesel tank.

Fuel Rescue Banff - Banff Petrol in Diesel
A customer who had unfortunately put unleaded in his diesel Mazda called us for assistance at the Murco filling station in Banff. He decided to fill up before going on to the local holiday park but had put the wrong fuel in his car. "I put unleaded rather than diesel which wasn't a wonderful beginning to our holiday." It was certainly no problem by any means for our technical engineer to go out and carry out the fuel drain. We hope they enjoyed their holiday.
