I finished the drain and she offered me a peppermint and thanked me for my work. Such a delightful Scottish Borders lady!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Scottish Borders we are encountering increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent caused by motorists not understanding the way to to make use of (pay attention: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right adjacent to one another on the car.

Now, precisely what is the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it's almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Apart from this, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

In the event that you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out at once. And most certainly take care not to start up the motor - not even to maneuver it to a parking spot. Assuming you have started the car you would almost certainly need to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is definitely a significant matter to take care of in a car - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water in the petrol or diesel will often bring about idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with correctly, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove than water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to deal with both circumstances pretty simply.

Take note however that as long as the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will likely be completely wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

Assuming that the boat is either on land, or parked close to parking spot we are able to gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

We have been called out to a number of private and industrial properties in Scottish Borders to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages.

I tried to clarify that this situation takes place constantly in Scottish Borders and that it's absolutely nothing to be anxious about, nevertheless he all the same had an earful by his wife.

Vehicle Misfuel Duns - Duns Petrol in Diesel

I had appreciated a terrific evening cycling on my off day and felt pleased the following day as I was on the way to aid a young family who were on vacation in Duns. They'd pulled over after putting petrol into their Peugeot, and they were approximately half an hour away. I turned up at their location and smiled as I heard to the wife telling her husband off for being so stupid. "Just how could you even be able to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I attempted to explain that this occurs continuously in Scottish Borders and that it's in reality nothing at all to get worried about, even so he in spite of everything had an earful. Unlucky guy. Anyhow, I removed the wrong fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled them up with the right fuel. Watching them drive away I shouted goodbye and pondered on what my missus would tell me if perhaps I did the exact same thing... I would personally under no circumstances hear the end of it!
