We can assist you with these mis-fuel mistakes.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Argyll and Bute we have encountered more and more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is mostly as a result of motorists not being aware of how to use it (note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly next to each other on the car.

So, exactly what is the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Because the product is mainly ionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Furthermore, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

Give us a call if you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and are able to correct all kinds of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is generally a significant condition to take care of in an automobile - especially in modern common-rail engines. Putting water in petrol or diesel can certainly contribute to idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out properly, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove as compared with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to solve both situations fairly simply.

You should know however that so long as the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one will be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or secured close to parking bay we are able to gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We've completed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

We've been called out to numerous domestic and industrial premises in Argyll and Bute to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered 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 container, a portable bowser, or even a number of drums in an outbuilding, assuming that we can get to it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Dunoon - Dunoon Wrong Fuel Drain

A week ago a young man phoned us soon after his Kia stopped working in the middle of a road in Dunoon. He had by mistake put unleaded in the diesel vehicle and got to the road before being forced to pull over. It was really early in the day and our engineer, who lives locally, reached him in less than 20 minutes. We were able to get rid of the incorrect fuel and put fresh diesel back into the vehicle. "Thank you for your immediate response, particularly at 4 a.m., I truly appreciate it."
