It was close to five pm on a Wednesday and although we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it hadn't ceased raining! Paul and I were sitting there talking about the tennis results, at the ready for the next call of the day to come in. Finally we received the phone call from a girl on a business excursion who had arrived at the Tesco filling garage in Dumfries and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Dacia rental car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was quite irritated apparently, stating "I can't believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot that I was using a diesel!" I advised her to relax and not to worry, also that such things unfortunately can happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle to a protected area and, seeing that it was no more than a short distance away from the office, we could arrive at her fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could get back to the Travelodge she was residing in. Despite the fact we got fairly soaked, it was all worth it seeing her drive off calm and a lot less concerned. Yet another misfuel correction in Dumfries and Galloway well done in my opinion!

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

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Dumfries and Galloway we have identified increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination when an individual has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent stemming from drivers being unsure of the right way to use it (important: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly near to each other on the automobile.

So, what's the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing that the product is predominantly deionised water, it's just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Also, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

Phone us if it turns out you are struggling with AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and have the ability to handle different types of AdBlue contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, tends to be a significant issue to handle in a motor vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Water in your diesel or petrol may well trigger idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed fully, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both situations fairly simply.

Remember that if ever the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to a car or truck parking bay we can gain access to the storage and remove the fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank lying at the back of your garden containing unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous domestic and commercial properties in Dumfries and Galloway to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even several containers in an outbuilding, if we can reach it, we are able to empty it.

Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Dumfries (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a full Dumfries and Galloway Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to fill up your car in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) to refill the car. They will be able to fix any of the standard problems that can come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, as well as dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Dumfries - Dumfries Wrong Fuel Doctor

A motorist had stopped off a street in Dumfries. His Peugeot motor had ceased running and he had no idea what was faulty until he noticed he put petrol in his diesel car. He contacted us to get a fuel drain and that is when he said to us: "I can't believe that I did not know that I put the incorrect fuel in my car." He said that he had got very little rest the night before and that must have been the key reason why.
