These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In your Fuel

In East Lothian we have identified an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is in part due to drivers not understanding how to use it (be aware: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right next to one another on the car.

Now, what is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Also, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If you put AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And most certainly be careful not to crank the motor - not even to relocate it to a parking place. In cases where you have started the vehicle you would in all probability need to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is usually a significant condition to deal with in a car - especially in modern common-rail engines. Having water in the diesel or petrol can certainly trigger idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with correctly, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to handle both circumstances quite swiftly.

Remember that whenever the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed since the previous one is going to be totally wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or parked close to an automobile parking spot we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We've done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

We have been called out to several privately owned and commercial premises in East Lothian for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages.

Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even numerous containers in an outbuilding, providing we are able to reach it, we are able to empty it.
