It was just before 10 pm on a Wednesday and even though we were guaranteed a dry night, it had not stopped raining! Brian and me were seated there talking over the tennis, ready for the 6th telephone call to arrive. Finally we received a phone call from a young lady on a business expedition who had gone to the Shell filling station in East Linton and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Mazda lease car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was quite irritated by the sounds of it, crying "I still can't believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle that I had forgot I was operating a diesel!" I just instructed her to settle back and not to worry, plus that such things sadly do happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle into a secure spot and, seeing as it was only a short distance off from our van, we could find the woman rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was extracted and she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was staying in. Even though we got very drenched, it was all worth the effort to see her drive home relaxed and a lot less apprehensive. Yet another job in East Lothian well done in my mind!

Contaminating the engine with water - Water contamination usually needs the fuel system to be drained. It causes the engine to rev up, jolt or splutter when you accelerate, and can eventually rust your fuel system. It's common on boats, and is generally caused by a jerry can used to carry water being utilized for fuel without first draining it appropriately. We'll drain it for you, and we might even be able to help with replacement filters.

AdBlue directly added to your tank - Mistakenly adding AdBlue to your tank can contaminate your fuel system. People commonly don?t have a concrete idea of what AdBlue is for. It?s not a fuel additive. It?s a liquid that helps reduce the negative effect on our environment simply by reducing the emissions in the car?s exhaust. It should be added via a separate tank, not straight to the fuel tank. Should you fall victim to this contamination, let?s us do the flushing job.

Red diesel contamination - This incident seldom happens to vehicle owners but at times it finds its way to a car?s tank. There are cases were filling up this fuel occur due to exhaustion or distraction. Based on AA, there are 1500 garages in UK that sell this diesel.

Old fuel unused for a long period - Another service we readily provide is drainage of old fuel.
