It was just after eight pm on a Thursday and even though we were guaranteed a rainless night, it had not ceased pouring! Dan and I were relaxing commenting on the footy rankings, waiting for the sixth job for the day to arrive. Before long we had a call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had gone to the Esso filling station in Ellon and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Renault rental in error. She was fairly affected it seemed, stating "I simply can't believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" We told her to calm down and not to be concerned, also that things like this regrettably can happen. She managed to move the car to a protected area and, seeing that it was no more than a few miles off from our van, we were able to get to her fairly quickly. The bad fuel was drained so she could once again go back to the Travelodge she was staying in. Even though we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth the effort to see her drive away calm and a lot less apprehensive. One more fuel drain in Aberdeenshire done well in my mind!

Helping you get back on the road is our main goal.

AdBlue In Diesel

How to proceed in case you may have poured Adblue in your Diesel tank? AdBlue is a liquid made from a mix of high-purity urea (32.5%) and ionized water (67.5%).It can be harmful to your car's fuel system, especially if you run the engine with Adblue in your diesel fuel tank. Whenever the engine has been started up the Adblue will be injected into your fuel lines and will swiftly start to crystalise, resulting in devastating and expensive problems to your vehicle's fuel system.

Any time you get in this situation do not fret or panic! Contact us, the UK?s Number 1 fuel contamination service. Our technicians have got the technical knowledge and experience to get you back on the road quickly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, tends to be an important situation to take care of in a car - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Water in the fuel can certainly trigger idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not dealt with fully, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain than water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both circumstances rather quickly.

Remember though that so long as the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one is going to be wholly wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to a vehicle parking spot we should be able to reach the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

We have been called out to numerous domestic and business premises in Aberdeenshire to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely.

Wrong Fuel Ellon - Ellon Wrong Fuel

I appreciated a great day golfing during my holiday and felt cheerful with myself the next morning as I set off to aid a new couple on vacation in Ellon. They'd stopped after putting petrol into their Hyundai, and were about an hour's travel away. I emerged at their location and laughed as I listened to the lady telling her hubby off for turning out to be so foolish. "How could you possibly be able to fill the car up by using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I attempted to tell her that this situation happens regularly in Aberdeenshire and that it is nothing to get worried about, but he yet still got an earful by his wife. Poor lad. In any case, I cleaned up and removed all of the contaminated fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave them some correct fuel. Watching while they drove off I shouted goodbye and thought about what my wife would do to me if I did the same thing... I would personally never hear the end of it!
