Incorrect fuel in your car in Crossgates? You've come to the right place. We are here to help you in this hour of need and get you going again with our professional fuel drain services.

It was close to 9 pm on a Monday and although we were promised a rainless day, it hadn't ceased pouring! Ray and me were sitting there talking about the recent golf results, waiting for the next fuel drain that day to arrive. Inevitably we had a call from a young lady on a company expedition who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol garage in Crossgates and filled petrol in a diesel BMW rental. She was quite troubled by the sounds of it, crying "I simply cannot believe that I've destroyed the car! I'm so used to filling up my petrol car I totally did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" We told her to calm down and not to fret, and also that these things unfortunately do happen. She managed to move the vehicle into a secure spot and, because it was no more than a few minutes off from where we were, we could arrive at her swiftly. The incorrect fuel was drained and she could go home to the motel she was lodging in. Despite the fact that we got really wet, it was all rewarding seeing her drive away satisfied and a lot less anxious. Another misfuel correction in Fife well done in my opinion!

Wrong Fuel SoS' experienced engineers are available 24/7. Simply call our rapid response number and someone will come to you, flush the wrong fuel and get you rapidly back on the road.

Our Areas of Experience :

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Fife we have identified an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is in part as a consequence of drivers not knowing how to use it (remember: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partly because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right adjacent to each other on the car.

Well, precisely what is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? As AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it's just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Phone us if it turns out you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can correct different types of AdBlue contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded or diesel, tends to be a serious condition to address in an automobile - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel tank is going to bring about idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not addressed properly, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both cases fairly quickly.

Remember that whenever the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. As long as the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to a car parking spot we are able to gain access to the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have carried out quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel reservoir sitting in the back of the garden full of old, useless or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several privately owned and business premises in Fife to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even several drums in a storage shed, assuming that we can get to it, we can empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Crossgates (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a complete Fife Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to re-fill your car in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump price) to fill the car. They will take care of the usual issues which may come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as flat batteries because of over-cranking.

A guy had stopped just near a road in Crossgates. His Hyundai engine had stopped running and he'd no clue what was the problem until eventually he noticed he put petrol in his diesel car. He called us to get a fuel drain and that's when he informed us: "I cannot believe that I didn't comprehend that I put the incorrect fuel in my vehicle." He said that he had gotten no rest the evening before and that could have been why.
