It was just before ten pm on a Wednesday and although we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it hadn't given up on raining! Paul and I were resting discussing the recent tennis rankings, waiting for the 8th call for the day to come in. In due time we got a call from a young lady on a company expedition who had pulled into the Shell petrol station in Blackridge and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Skoda lease car. The unfortunate thing was somewhat agitated it seemed, stating "I simply cannot believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I'm so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember I was using a diesel!" I instructed her to relax and not to be concerned, and that these things happen. She was able to relocate the car to a protected position and, seeing that it was just a few miles off from our van, we were able to get to the woman without delay. The bad fuel was drained so she could go home to the Travelodge she was living at. Even though we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth the effort to see her drive away satisfied and less anxious. A misfuel correction in West Lothian done well in my opinion!

Our Services:

This is what we do best.

AdBlue Contamination

What you can do if you have put Adblue into a Diesel fuel tank? It is certainly damaging to your car's fuel system, especially any time you run the engine with Adblue in the diesel fuel tank. As soon as the engine has been started up the Adblue is going to be pushed into your fuel lines and will rapidly start to crystalise, resulting in devastating and costly problems to your vehicle's fuel system.

In case you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it as quickly as possible. And of course do not crank the engine - not even to move it into a parking place. If you did start the car you will almost certainly have to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is actually a serious matter to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Water in fuel tank can certainly lead to idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of properly, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of than water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to deal with both circumstances rather swiftly.

Bear in mind that if the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the old one will likely be completely water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to a vehicle parking bay we will be able to reach the tanks and drain out the fuel. We have done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

We have been called out to numerous domestic and commercial premises in West Lothian to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely.

Wrong Fuel in Car Blackridge - Blackridge Fuel Drain

I'd had a perfect day fishing on the weekend and was feeling contented the next day as I set off to assist a young couple who were on vacation in Blackridge. They'd broken down after filling the wrong fuel into their Mercedes, and the car was approximately half an hour's drive away. I turned up at their car and laughed to myself while I listened to the girl telling off her partner for actually being so confused. "How could you even find a way to fill the car up using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I attempted to explain that this goes on on daily basis in West Lothian and that it is nothing at all to worry about, nonetheless he yet still got his ear bent. Unfortunate chap. Anyhow, I removed the contaminated fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled them up with the proper fuel. While they drove down the road I waved hasta la vista and considered what my missus would do to me if I did the exact same thing... I would never live it down!
