Listed here are our top services we give to our clients.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Scottish Borders we have seen more and more examples of AdBlue contamination where an individual has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is mostly as a consequence of motorists being unsure of how to work with it (be aware: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to each other on the automobile.

So, what exactly is the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing that AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Apart from this, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

In case you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it right away. And most certainly never turn over the engine - not even to shift it into a parking spot. Assuming you have started the car you would likely need to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is usually an important condition to take care of in a vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel tank will often result in idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed effectively, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove than water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can take care of both cases rather simply.

Bear in mind that if ever the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the old one is going to be wholly wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to an automobile parking spot we can reach the storage and remove the fuel. We've performed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel container lying at the back of your premises containing old, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of private and business properties in Scottish Borders for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or even a few containers in a shed, if we can access it, we are able to drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Coldstream (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a comprehensive Scottish Borders Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to fill up your vehicle any time you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump price) to fill your automobile. They are also able to deal with any of the typical problems that might accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Coldstream - Coldstream Vehicle Misfuel

I had a fantastic day hiking on my off day and was feeling pleased with myself the next working day as I was on the way to aid a new couple who were on vacation in Coldstream. They had broken down after adding petrol into their Mercedes, and the car was roughly an hour's drive away. I got there at their car and smirked as I listened to the wife telling her partner off for actually being so silly. "Just how could you actually be able to fill the vehicle up using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I tried to clarify that this kind of thing comes to pass continuously in Scottish Borders and that it's actually absolutely nothing to fret about, but he in spite of everything got an ear bashing by his better half. Unlucky chap. Anyway, I extracted the contaminated fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled it up with the proper fuel. While watching them drive down the road I waved good bye and considered what my wife would say to me if I made the very same blunder... I'd personally never ever live it down!
