We can assist you with all these mis-fuel mistakes.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around City of Edinburgh we are identifying a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination where a person has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partly as a result of people being unsure of the right way to work with it (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

Well, exactly what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing that the product is primarily ionised water, it's as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Also, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

If you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And most definitely don't turn over the vehicle - not even to maneuver it into a parking place. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you may in all probability need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is without question a significant matter to take care of in a car - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Having water in diesel or petrol may well trigger idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with correctly, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out as compared to water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both circumstances fairly quickly.

You should know however that so long as the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the previous one will be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. As long as the boat is either on land, or parked close to an automobile parking spot we should be able to access the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've undertaken numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got an old fuel container lying in the rear of the garden full of unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to numerous private and industrial properties in City of Edinburgh to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even numerous containers in a garage, providing we can reach it, we are able to empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Edinburgh (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a full City of Edinburgh Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to fill up the car if you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) to refill your car. They can also deal with the normal issues that could go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.


Petrol in Diesel Edinburgh - Edinburgh Wrong Fuel

I'd had a wonderful evening hiking during my holiday and felt satisfied with myself the following working day as I was on the way to help a young family vacationing in Edinburgh. They had conked out after filling petrol into their Toyota, and the car was about an hour away. I got there at their car and smirked to myself while I heard to the woman berating her spouse for turning out to be so foolish. "Exactly how could you possibly manage to fill the car up with the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I attempted to explain that this situation takes place quite frequently in City of Edinburgh and that it is absolutely nothing to get worried about, but he still had an ear bashing. I felt sorry for the lad. Anyways, I cleaned up and removed all the polluted fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave them some correct fuel. Watching as they drove down the road I mouthed good-bye and thought about what her indoors would tell me if ever I did the same thing... I would under no circumstances live it down!

We have fuel drain specialists on call in the local area all set and waiting to come out and empty your motor vehicle of the wrong fuel or contaminated fuel. We operate 24/7 every day of the year. All of our specialists are fully qualified and experienced in handling all sorts of cars.

Wrong Fuel Assist Edinburgh - Edinburgh Wrong Fuel

A woman from Edinburgh with a full car of kids in her diesel Vauxhall had put £45 of petrol at the Sainsburys petrol station. She phoned us sobbing and extremely worried as she had never put petrol in a diesel before and did not know what could happen to her car because of it. We reassured her that all should be alright and that she would be back up and running in no time at all. When we got there she was still upset but while our fuel drainer started work on the fuel drain she calmed down as she saw that something could be done and her vehicle wasn't wrecked. She quickly cheered up and was on the road again saying, "I just can't believe my misfortune putting petrol in my diesel car! Especially with the youngsters on board."

Wrong Fuel Edinburgh - Edinburgh Wrong Fuel in Car

A person rang us from his home on a street in Edinburgh. He explained, "My vehicle (a Chevrolet) is not starting and is producing very bad sounds when I turn the ignition." He said that he put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle but then thought he would resolve the issue by putting extra Diesel on top. We were on scene promptly, did the drain and filled him up once again with untainted Diesel. He told us that he'd be certain to explain to people not to fill up over the wrong fuel but to have it cleaned out right away.
