It was just after five pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a rainless day, it hadn't given up on pouring! Ray and I were resting discussing the weekend's sports results, waiting around for the 8th fuel drain for the day to come in. Inevitably we got the call from a young lady on a business trip who had pulled into the Tesco filling station in Forres and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Skoda hire car. She was pretty affected by the sounds of it, telling me "I still cannot believe that I have ruined the vehicle! I'm so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car I totally did not remember I was running a diesel!" I advised her to settle back and not to be concerned, and also that these things regrettably can happen. She managed to move the vehicle to a secure space and, because it was just a few miles off from the office, we were able to arrive at the customer without delay. The bad fuel was removed and she could once again go back to the motel she was residing in.

Our Services:

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

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Moray we have identified a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent caused by drivers not being aware of how to to make use of (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right close to one another on the vehicle.

Well, exactly what is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Because the product is primarily deionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Apart from this, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out asap. And certainly do not start the motor - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. If you did start the car you would very likely have to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a serious condition to take care of in an automobile - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Having water in your petrol or diesel will often cause idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed properly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out than water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can solve both circumstances quite easily.

Be aware though that whenever the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will likely be totally wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to a vehicle parking bay we should be able to gain access to the storage and drain out the fuel. We have succesfully done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got an old fuel tank placed in the rear of your premises full of out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several private and commercial premises in Moray to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or even a few containers in a storage shed, providing we are able to get to it, we can certainly empty it.

Run out of fuel in Forres (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a full Moray Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to re-fill your automobile in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) and refill your car or truck.
