A man conked out on a road in Burntisland had to have a fuel drain roughly a month back. His Fiat was broken down on the side of the road after he had misfueled. He was calm when he called us but a bit anxious to get his car off the road as he was causing some traffic. We were on scene in a quarter-hour seeing that our drainer was in neighbouring Burntisland and had completed a fuel drain. He said, "I can not believe I put the wrong fuel in my diesel car and stopped ! My vehicle was coughing I just were forced to pull over and subsequently it conked."

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

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Fife we have noticed an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is partly a result of people being unsure of how to work with it (be aware: it's actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right close to each other on the automobile.

So, precisely what is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing that AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Additionally, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

In case you put AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it right away. And definitely never switch on the engine - not even to maneuver it into a parking bay. In the event that you have started the vehicle you may likely have to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is certainly an important matter to handle in a car - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank is going to cause idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not dealt with correctly, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to take care of both circumstances pretty expediently.

Bear in mind however that if the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to an automobile parking spot we should be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We've performed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel tank laying in the rear of your garden containing aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many private and business premises in Fife to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or even a number of containers in an outbuilding, if we are able to reach it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Burntisland (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a full Fife Out of Fuel Service. We can help to refill your automobile if you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) to fill up your vehicle. They are also able to deal with the normal problems which may accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to start, as well as flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Assist Burntisland - Burntisland Fuel Removal

A man called us from his residence on a close in Burntisland. He exclaimed, "My vehicle (a Suzuki) is not starting up and is generating terrible noises when I turn the key." He said that he put unleaded in his diesel vehicle but then thought he would remedy the issue by putting extra Diesel on top. We arrived promptly, carried out the drain and filled him up once again with fresh Diesel. He said that he'd be sure to explain to people not to fill up over the wrong fuel but to get it drained promptly.
