Fuel Removal Duns - Duns Wrong Fuel in Car

Ahhh, that was a good night of sleep! 7:30 on a warm Saturday and we were on my way to assist an older lovely lady who put contaminated fuel in her diesel Fiat in Duns. I'd been advised she drove away from the filling station forecourt and pulled up on a country lane on the way to see her grandchildren. I plugged the location in the TomTom and was on-scene inside an hour or so. I reached the destination and removed the wrong fuel in the car car. Whilst I was doing it she said, "I am getting relatively absent-minded in my senior years and didn't remember about the car working with diesel since I had only just purchased it a couple of days ago when my previous one, which I had used for more than 30 years, finally died". I got the drain done and she gave me a toffee and said thanks. Such a precious Scottish Borders lady!

Our Fields of Expertise:

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

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Scottish Borders we have noticed increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination when a person has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially due to drivers not being totally sure the way to work with it (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly next to each other on the car.

Well, precisely what is the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Apart from this, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you put AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it at once. And definitely don't start the motor - not even to move it into a parking spot. Assuming you did start the car you may very likely need to have the full fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant situation to handle in an automobile - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in fuel tank can easily bring about idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with correctly, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove as compared with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to resolve both situations pretty expediently.

Remember though that as long as the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the previous one will likely be completely water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Providing the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to parking spot we are able to access the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir lying at the rear of your garden full of old, useless or degraded fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few private and business properties in Scottish Borders to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a few drums in an outbuilding, assuming that we are able to access it, we are able to drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Duns (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a complete Scottish Borders Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to re-fill your car in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) to refill the car. They will be able to fix any of the usual issues that might go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or even flat batteries due to over-cranking.

A customer from Duns with her kids in her diesel Renault had put £42 of petrol at the BP petrol station.

We reassured her that all would be alright and that she would be back ready to go soon. When we got there she was visible distressed but while our engineer started work on the fuel drain she simmered down since she noticed that help was at hand and her car wasn't wrecked.
