Below are our top services we offer to our clients.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Fife we are noticing an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly stemming from people not being totally sure the way to use it (important: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what exactly is the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel car? As AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Additionally, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it right away. And certainly never start the engine - not even to relocate it to a parking spot. In case you did start the vehicle you may very likely need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is definitely an important situation to address in a vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water in your diesel or petrol can potentially produce idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not sorted out correctly, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both circumstances quite quickly.

You should know that if the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted since the previous one will likely be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to a car parking spot we should be able to gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've performed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel tank sitting in the back of the garden full of out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous private and business properties in Fife to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a few containers in a shed, as long as we can get to it, we can drain it.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Cairneyhill (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a comprehensive Fife Run Out of Fuel Service. We will come to refill the car in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump price) to refill your car. They will fix the usual troubles that can go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even dead batteries due to over-cranking.
