It was after eight pm on a Monday and even though we were promised a dry evening, it had not stopped raining! Ray and I were seated going over the golf, at the ready for the 8th fuel drain of the day to arrive. In due time we received the call from a lady on a company excursion who had arrived at the BP filling garage in Crossgates and filled petrol in her diesel Renault lease car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was pretty irritated by the sounds of it, stating "I still can't believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm so familiar with filling up my petrol car I completely forgot I was driving a diesel!" I instructed her to take it easy and not to fret, and that such things unfortunately do happen. She managed to maneuver the car to a secure area and, as it was no more than a few minutes from where we were, we could get to the lady right away. The bad fuel was extracted so she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was living at. Although we got fairly wet, it was all rewarding to watch her drive home contented and not so stressed. Another misfuel correction in Fife well done in my opinion!

We can assist you with these mis-fuel mistakes.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Fife we are noticing increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly a result of motorists not knowing the right way to work with it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly adjacent to one another on the automobile.

Now, what's the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing that the product is mainly ionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Furthermore, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it out asap. And absolutely take care not to crank the vehicle - not even to maneuver it off the pump. In the event that you did start the car you may very likely need to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually a serious matter to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Water in your petrol or diesel is likely to contribute to idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out effectively, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain compared to water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can solve both circumstances quite swiftly.

Take note that if the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will probably be completely wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to parking bay we are able to gain access to the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

We have been called out to a number of domestic and commercial premises in Fife to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages.
