It was around six pm on a Monday and even though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it hadn't stopped raining! Dan and I were resting going over the football results, ready for the sixth job for the day to come in. Inevitably we had a phone call from a lovely woman on a company excursion who had pulled into the BP petrol garage in Clydebank and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Nissan lease car. The unfortunate thing was quite affected apparently, telling me "I still cannot believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I am so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I had forgot I was running a diesel!" We advised her to relax and not to be concerned, plus that things like this sadly happen. She was able to get the vehicle into a secure position and, as it was no more than a few miles off from our van, we were able to reach the customer without delay. The incorrect fuel was extracted so she could return to the Premier Inn she was lodging in. Despite the fact we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth the time to see her drive home satisfied and less anxious. Yet another job in Glasgow done well in my opinion!

Wrong Fuel Doctor Clydebank - Clydebank Fuel Rescue
I enjoyed a great day hiking on the weekend and felt satisfied with myself the following day as I headed out to help a new family who were away in Clydebank. They had pulled over after inserting petrol into their Hyundai, and were roughly an hour away. I got there at their car and laughed to myself while I heard to the girl berating her partner for turning out to be so silly. "Exactly how could you actually find a way to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I wanted to explain that this problem occurs regularly in Glasgow and that it is absolutely nothing to stress about, and yet he in spite of everything got an ear bashing by his missus. Poor boy. Anyways, I removed all of the polluted fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled it up with the proper fuel. While watching them drive down the road I mouthed goodbye and thought about what my wife would ask me if perhaps I made the same error... I'd personally never live it down!

AdBlue Contamination
All around Glasgow we have encountered progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is partly as a result of drivers not knowing how to use it (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right next to each other on the automobile.
Now, what is the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel car? As AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water don't mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition to this, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.
If in case you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank remove it asap. And definitely be careful not to switch on the vehicle - not even to move it away from the pump. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you may very likely have to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.
Water contaminated fuel
Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important matter to address in a motor vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Having water in your petrol or diesel is likely to lead to idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not sorted out correctly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain than water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can deal with both circumstances fairly quickly.
Bear in mind though that so long as the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be installed as the old one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.
Marine Fuel Drains
In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it.

We have succesfully done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}
