Wrong Fuel Assist Dunbar - Dunbar Wrong Fuel in Car
Just had a great night's sleep! 7:00 on a rainy Sunday and we were on the way to help an older woman after she put petrol in her diesel Mazda in Dunbar. I'd been advised she had left the petrol station and was broken down on a country lane en route to see her grandchildren. I popped the location into the Satnav and arrived inside an hour or so. I turned up at the location and drained the wrong fuel in the car vehicle. Whilst I was working she told me, "I'm becoming relatively forgetful in my old age and forgot about the vehicle using diesel because I had just bought it several days ago because my former car, which I had used for about 25 years, eventually stopped working". I got the job done and she offered me a toffee and thanked me for my efforts. What a precious East Lothian woman!

It was close to 9 pm on a Tuesday and though we were guaranteed a dry evening, it hadn't given up on pouring! Mark and me were relaxing there talking over the recent footy, waiting around for the 8th telephone call to arrive. In due time we received the call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had arrived at the Shell petrol station in Dunbar and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Honda rental by mistake. The poor lady was rather agitated by the sounds of it, crying "I still cannot believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm so used to filling up my petrol vehicle I totally did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I asked her to relax and not to fret, also that things like this unfortunately can happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle to a secure area and, because it was no more than a few minutes from us, we could arrive at the woman almost instantly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could go home to the hotel she was living at. Despite the fact that we got fairly drenched, it was all worth the time to watch her drive away calm and a lot less apprehensive. A fuel drain in East Lothian done well in my mind!

Our Areas of Expertise: Services Our Company Offers:
Here's a list of the incorrect fuel services we provide.
AdBlue In Diesel
In East Lothian we have identified progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination when somebody has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partly thanks to people not being totally sure the right way to use it (be aware: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly adjacent to one another on the vehicle.
Well, what is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Moreover, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.
Contact us if it turns out you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can fix every type of AdBlue contamination.
Fuel contaminated with water
Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a serious condition to address in a vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Water in diesel or petrol can certainly produce idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not addressed effectively, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can deal with both cases very simply.
Bear in mind however that in the event that the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and ineffective.
Boat Fuel Drains
If you have the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or parked close to a vehicle parking spot we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}
Disposal of Waste Fuel
Got an old fuel container in the rear of your garden containing old, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several domestic and commercial premises in East Lothian to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a number of containers in a storage shed, provided that we are able to access it, we can empty it.
Out of Fuel Service
Out of fuel in Dunbar (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a complete East Lothian Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to refill the car in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at cost) to fill up your vehicle. They will be able to fix the standard problems which may go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
