Did you realise that one can find more than 150,000 cases of motorists filling their cars with the incorrect kind of fuel every single year?

Our team of SPA qualified technicians are on hand 24/7 to assist you at the side of the road with the right gear to carry out a wrong fuel drain on your vehicle rapidly.

It was just before seven pm on a Thursday and even though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Paul and I were resting talking over the weekend's rugby, prepared for the next job to come in. In due time we had the phone call from a young lady on a business expedition who had pulled into the Tesco filling garage in Fairlie and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel SEAT rental by mistake. The poor thing was rather agitated apparently, saying "I can not believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I totally did not remember I was using a diesel!" I asked her to calm down and not to fret, plus that these things unfortunately often happen. She managed to move the car into a safe spot and, seeing that it was just a few minutes away from us, we could arrive at the customer fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was removed so she could return to the Premier Inn she was residing at. Despite the fact we got extremely soaked, it was all worth the time to see her drive away satisfied and less stressed. Another fuel drain in North Ayrshire done well in my opinion!

Services We Give:

This is what we do best.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout North Ayrshire we have noticed increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination where an individual has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is mostly as a consequence of motorists not understanding how to use it (take note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly close to each other on the automobile.

Now, precisely what is the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is actually like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

In the case you put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out at the earliest opportunity. And most definitely do not switch on the motor - not even to move it into a parking bay. In cases where you have started the car you would most likely need to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely an important situation to take care of in a car - especially in current day common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel can potentially bring about idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed fully, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both situations quite quickly.

Take note however that if ever the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one is going to be wholly wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or secured close to an automobile parking bay we will be able to access the tanks and drain out the fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir lying in the rear of the garden containing out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few private and commercial properties in North Ayrshire to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even several containers in an outbuilding, providing we are able to get to it, we can certainly empty it.

Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Fairlie (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a complete North Ayrshire Out of Fuel Service. We can come to fill up your automobile any time you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) to refill your car. They will be able to take care of the usual troubles that could go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Fairlie - Fairlie Fuel Removal

A guy had conked out near a road in Fairlie. His Jaguar car had stopped operating and he had no idea what was the problem until eventually he realised he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel car. He called us to request a fuel drain and that is when he explained to us: "I can't believe that I didn't detect that I put the wrong fuel in my car." He said that he had got no rest the evening before and that could have been precisely why.
