We arrived within fifteen minutes seeing that our drainer was in nearby Dunoon and had finished his previous job.

Do you or your drivers usually misfuel your vehicle? We can solve any connected issues.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Argyll and Bute we are encountering progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination when an individual has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent as a consequence of people not being totally sure how to use it (be aware: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly next to one another on the automobile.

Well, what is the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Since the product is primarily deionised water, it is almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

If you find you put AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it asap. And most definitely never start up the motor - not even to move it off of the pump. Assuming you did start the vehicle you will most likely have to have the complete fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is certainly a serious condition to take care of in a motor vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel tank can easily trigger idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed properly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to drain as compared to water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both situations fairly expediently.

Bear in mind however that if the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one is going to be wholly wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. So long as the boat is either on land, or situated close to a motor vehicle parking bay we are able to gain access to the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have completed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel container at the back of your premises containing unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many domestic and business premises in Argyll and Bute to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps a few drums in a garage, assuming that we can get to it, we are able to drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Dunoon (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a comprehensive Argyll and Bute Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to refill your car in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at cost) and refill your car or truck. They will deal with the usual troubles that could go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to start, and even flat batteries because of over-cranking.
