It was about ten pm on a Wednesday and although we were guaranteed a dry night, it hadn't stopped raining! Ray and I were sitting there going over the recent rugby rankings, ready for the sixth call for the day to come in. Eventually we received a phone call from a woman on a company trip who had gone to the Texaco petrol garage in Bridge of Weir and filled petrol in a diesel SEAT rental in error. The unfortunate thing was rather agitated by the sounds of it, stating "I can not believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car that I completely forgot that I was running a diesel!" We asked her to settle back and not to worry, and that such things regrettably happen. She managed to relocate the car to a protected position and, since it was just a few miles away from us, we were able to find the lady fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was drained so she could get back to the Travelodge she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got very drenched, it was all worthwhile to see her drive home satisfied and not so concerned. Yet another misfuel correction in Renfrewshire well done in my mind!

Below are the top services we give to our clients.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Renfrewshire we are encountering increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is in part a result of drivers not knowing the way to work with it (pay attention: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly near to one another on the vehicle.

Well, exactly what is the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Should you end up in this position don?t fret or panic! Contact us, the UK?s Best fuel contamination service. Our engineers have got the specialised expertise and experience to get you back on the road promptly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant situation to address in an automobile - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel will result in idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of effectively, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to handle both cases very quickly.

Be aware that so long as the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the old one is going to be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to a car parking spot we are able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have completed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel container placed in the rear of the garden containing unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few private and business properties in Renfrewshire to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even numerous drums in a shed, provided that we are able to reach it, we could certainly drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Bridge of Weir (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a full Renfrewshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to fill up your vehicle any time you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump price) to fill up your car or truck. They will fix the typical issues that may come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue Bridge of Weir - Bridge of Weir Fuel Removal

I'd had a terrific afternoon golfing on the weekend and felt cheerful with myself the following working day as I was en route to help a new family away in Bridge of Weir. They had stopped after adding the wrong fuel into their Vauxhall, and they were close to an hour away. I emerged at their position and smiled while I heard to the gal telling her partner off for being so silly. "How could you actually manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she asked him. I wanted to clarify that this happens continuously in Renfrewshire and that it's in reality absolutely nothing to stress about, even so he still had an earful. Unfortunate chap. Anyhow, I removed the contaminated fuel, flushed the motor and gave it some appropriate fuel. While they drove down the road I shouted good bye and thought about what her indoors would say to me if I made the exact same blunder... I'd personally never ever live it down!
