It was before 9 pm on a Thursday and even though we were assured a dry day, it hadn't given up on pouring! Ray and I were seated discussing the recent sports rankings, waiting for the 8th job that day to come in. Eventually we got the phone call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had pulled into the Texaco filling station in Dumfries and filled petrol in a diesel MG rental by mistake. The unfortunate lady was fairly affected apparently, stating "I just can't believe that I've destroyed the car! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol car I completely didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" I advised her to settle back and not to worry, also that these things regrettably do happen. She managed to get the car into a safe area and, seeing as it was only a short distance from us, we could arrive at the customer without delay. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was living at. Even though we got pretty wet, it was all rewarding to see her drive off relaxed and not so anxious. One more fuel drain in Dumfries and Galloway done well in my mind!

Our Fields of Expertise:

This is what we do best.

AdBlue In Diesel

What you should do in the event that you?ve poured Adblue in your Diesel tank? Adblue tends to be devastating to your vehicle's fuel system, specifically in cases where you started the car with Adblue in your diesel tank. As soon as the engine has been started the Adblue will likely be squirted into the fuel lines and will rapidly start to crystalise, causing serious and expensive damage to your vehicle's fuel system.

If you put AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it at once. And most definitely never crank the vehicle - not even to shift it into a parking area. Assuming you did start the car you would in all likelihood need to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious condition to deal with in a car - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water in your petrol or diesel will likely produce idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with fully, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both situations very swiftly.

Be aware however that whenever the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will undoubtedly be totally wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to a car or truck parking bay we should be able to gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel tank sitting in the rear of your garden full of old, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few private and commercial premises in Dumfries and Galloway for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or even several drums in a storage shed, provided that we are able to access it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Dumfries (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a full Dumfries and Galloway Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to re-fill your vehicle any time you are stranded on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) to fill up your car or truck. They can also fix the typical issues which may go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to start, and even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.
