Services We Offer:

Here's a list of the incorrect fuel services we provide.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In East Ayrshire we have encountered increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part a result of drivers not understanding the right way to use it (note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly close to each other on the automobile.

Well, what is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing as AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Apart from this, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out at once. And most certainly never switch on the car - not even to relocate it away from the pump. In the instance that you did start the car you will in all likelihood need to have the entire fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant matter to deal with in a car - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water inside your petrol or diesel can certainly produce idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed properly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both circumstances very easily.

Be aware however that if the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will probably be wholly wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to a car parking bay we can reach the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir laying in the back of your garden containing unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and commercial properties in East Ayrshire for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even several containers in an outbuilding, as long as we are able to get to it, we are able to drain it.

Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Crosshouse (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a comprehensive East Ayrshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can come to re-fill your car in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at cost) and fill your vehicle. They can also fix any of the usual problems that can accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or maybe flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Crosshouse - Crosshouse Vehicle Misfuel

I had enjoyed a perfect afternoon hiking on my holiday and felt pleased with myself the following working day as I set off to help a young family who were on holiday in Crosshouse. They broken down after inserting the wrong fuel in their Mercedes, and they were roughly half an hour away. I showed up at their car and smiled while I listened to the gal berating her hubby for turning out to be so foolish. "How could you possibly find a way to fill the vehicle up using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I wanted to tell her that this comes to pass regularly in East Ayrshire and that it's nothing to stress about, but he all the same got his ear bent by his better half. Poor guy. At any rate, I cleaned up and removed all of the wrong fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled them up with the appropriate fuel. While they drove down the road I shouted hasta la vista and pondered on what my wife would say to me if ever I did the very same thing... I would personally never live it down!

Recent Fuel Drains in Crosshouse

Reports from our Crosshouse technicians:

A teenager who had recently got his licence had misfueled his Ford by having petrol in his diesel at the petrol station close to Crosshouse. He said, "This is just the third time I have fuelled my car from the time when I paid for it and I do not know how to proceed." He was worried because his step father had just recently paid for the car. He located our company on the web and so called us right away, frightened about what he needed to do. Our guy on the telephones told him that we would be with him inside forty five minutes and to not touch the vehicle while waiting. We finished the drain on his vehicle and he said how impressed he was it was completed so swiftly and without any complication at all.

Wrong Fuel Crosshouse - Crosshouse Wrong Fuel in Car

This was certainly what we call an unsociable hour to be awake. It was close to 3am and nobody was around. It was quite uneventful so far, and me and Brian were relaxing looking at a number of old magazines. That was a rare calm hour in East Ayrshire. It was indeed so quiet that when my mobile inevitably rang I leaped! The motorist on the phone said: "I just completed my overnight shift and stupidly put the wrong fuel in a diesel Fiat in error". We got him to tell us just where the car was and we hit the road, ending up in Crosshouse less than an hour or so later. The wrong fuel was extracted from the vehicle. He said many thanks for coming out so fast. While we were going back home we saw two young women on the edge of the road who appeared to have a flat. So we got out and helped them change it, much to their delight.

Wrong Fuel Drain Crosshouse - Crosshouse Fuel Rescue

A couple weeks ago a gentleman telephoned us because his MG died in the middle of a street in Crosshouse. He had mistakenly put petrol in his diesel car and drove to the street before having to halt. It was early in the day and our technician, who stays not far away, got to him in approximately 20 minutes. We were able to take out the incorrect fuel and put fresh diesel yet again into the car. "Thank you for your fast response, particularly at 4 a.m., I truly am grateful for it."
