Here's a list of the incorrect fuel services we give.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Argyll and Bute we have identified a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is in part thanks to motorists not knowing the right way to use it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right adjacent to one another on the automobile.

So, what's the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it's like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Additionally, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

If in case you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it asap. And of course take care not to turn over the car - not even to move it off the pump. Assuming you have started the car you would probably have to have the full fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is usually a significant matter to handle in a car - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank may well trigger idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not dealt with effectively, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove than water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both circumstances fairly simply.

You should know that in the event that the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the previous one will probably be totally water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to a car parking bay we will be able to reach the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We've succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel reservoir sitting at the back of the garden with unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of domestic and business premises in Argyll and Bute for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps several drums in a garage, if we can reach it, we can drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Dunoon (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a full Argyll and Bute Run Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to fill up your automobile if you are stuck 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 the correct fuel (acquired at pump price) to fill up your car. They are also able to take care of any of the common issues which may accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to start, and even flat batteries because of over-cranking.
