Services Our Company Offers:

Here is a list of the wrong fuel services we provide.

AdBlue Contamination

In West Lothian we are identifying a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is partially caused by motorists being unsure of the right way to work with it (be aware: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right near to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what's the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Moreover, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out as soon as possible. And obviously never turn over the motor - not even to move it from the pump. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you would very likely need to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually an important situation to address in an automobile - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Having water inside your petrol or diesel is going to cause idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not remedied correctly, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to handle both situations very simply.

Remember that if the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the old one will likely be wholly wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to an automobile parking bay we are able to reach the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We have completed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank laying at the back of your garden full of old, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few private and industrial premises in West Lothian to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps some containers in a garage, if we are able to reach it, we are able to drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Blackridge (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a comprehensive West Lothian Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to refill the car in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at pump prices) to fill up your car. They will fix the usual issues that can go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as dead batteries caused by over-cranking.
