Our Areas of Competency :

Listed below are our top services we offer to our clients.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around West Lothian we are identifying increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination where somebody has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent a result of drivers not knowing how to work with it (remember: it's actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally right close to one another on the car.

So, what is the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it's just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition to this, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

In the case you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And most definitely never turn over the engine - not even to move it to a parking spot. In the instance that you did start the car you will almost certainly need to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is generally a significant issue to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol is likely to bring about idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with correctly, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to clean out as compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both circumstances fairly simply.

You should know however that any time the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one will likely be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've carried out numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel reservoir laying at the rear of your premises containing old, useless or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and industrial properties in West Lothian to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or even some containers in a garage, as long as we are able to get to it, we can certainly drain it for you.
