AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Falkirk we have found increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination where an individual has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mainly a result of motorists not understanding the right way to work with it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly close to each other on the car.

Well, exactly what is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing that AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Apart from this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

In the case you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And absolutely take care not to start up the car - not even to move it to a parking area. If you did start the vehicle you will almost certainly need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is definitely a significant matter to handle in a vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel may produce idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed effectively, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out than water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can solve both situations fairly easily.

Remember though that if ever the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one is going to be completely water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or secured near to a vehicle parking spot we are able to gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank in the back of your premises containing unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several private and commercial premises in Falkirk to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even several containers in an outbuilding, providing we can access it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Falkirk (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a full Falkirk Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to fill up your vehicle in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at cost) to refill the car. They are also able to fix the common troubles that can go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Recent Fuel Drains in Falkirk

On the next paragraphs are opinions and good examples of fuel drains we've done in Falkirk:

A youngster who had only just passed his driving test had misfueled his MINI by putting petrol in the diesel at the filling station near Falkirk. He said, "This is only the third time I have filled up my car since I bought it and I do not know how to proceed." He was also scared as his father had just recently paid for the car. He discovered us on the web and so called us without delay, scared about what he should do. Our person on the phones told him that we would be with him inside forty five minutes and to not move the car while waiting. We performed the drain on his car and he stated how impressed he was it was dealt with so swiftly and without consequence at all.

Wrong Fuel Assist Falkirk - Falkirk Fuel Drain

This was exactly the graveyard shift. It was close to sunrise and nobody was stirring. It had been quite dead up to now, and John and I were loafing around reading through a couple of old papers. That was an uncommon quiet hour in Falkirk. It was in fact so tranquil that the instant the telephone ultimately rang I jumped with surprise! The voice on the phone told me: "I have just concluded my evening shift and foolishly put the wrong fuel in a diesel Porsche in error". We instructed him to inform us exactly where the vehicle was situated and we hit the road, arriving in Falkirk less than 30 minutes later. The incorrect fuel was cleared from the engine. He said many thanks for showing up so quickly. While we were returning to base we found two young women on the edge of the street who appeared to have a puncture. Accordingly we got out to help them change it, much to their delight.

Vehicle Misfuel Falkirk - Falkirk Fuel Removal

Last week a young man telephoned us after his Skoda cut out on a street in Falkirk. He had inadvertently put unleaded in his diesel car and was only able to drive to the street before having to pull over. It was actually early in the morning and our engineer, who resides locally, got to him in approximately fifteen minutes. We managed to get rid of the wrong fuel and put clean diesel back in the vehicle. "Many thanks to you for your prompt response, and in particular at 5 a.m., I really am grateful for it."
