It was after eight pm on a Thursday and while we were assured a dry night, it hadn't given up on pouring! Mark and I were relaxing talking over the recent football, ready for the 8th call of the day to arrive. Inevitably we got a phone call from a lady on a business trip who had gone to the Texaco filling garage in Garelochhead and filled petrol in a diesel Honda rental by mistake. The poor lady was pretty irritated it seemed, telling me "I still cannot believe I've messed up the vehicle! I'm so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" We instructed her to calm down and not to be concerned, plus that such things do happen. She managed to relocate the car to a safe position and, seeing as it was just a few minutes away from us, we were able to find the customer fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was extracted so she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was living at. Even though we got extremely wet, it was all worth it to see her drive away contented and not so worried. Another misfuel correction in Argyll and Bute well done in my opinion!

AdBlue Contamination

All around Argyll and Bute we have found a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly as a result of motorists not understanding how to use it (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly adjacent to each other on the automobile.

So, what's the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Because AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Apart from this, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

Call us in the event that you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can easily correct all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, can be a significant condition to handle in a car - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank will likely trigger idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed correctly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both cases rather easily.

Keep in mind that so long as the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one is going to be completely wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. So long as the boat is either on land, or moored near to a motor vehicle parking spot we are able to reach the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've carried out many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank sitting at the back of the garden containing unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of private and business properties in Argyll and Bute to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps numerous drums in a shed, if we are able to access it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Garelochhead (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a complete Argyll and Bute Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to refill your automobile in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at cost) and fill up your car or truck. They will be able to handle the typical troubles which might go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Garelochhead - Garelochhead Wrong Fuel Doctor

A motorist had broken down just near a street in Garelochhead. His BMW engine had stopped working and he'd no idea what was the problem right up until he realised he put unleaded in his diesel car. He phoned us to request a fuel drain and that is when he said to us: "I cannot believe that I didn't realise that I had put the incorrect fuel in my car." He claimed that he had gotten virtually no sleep the night before and that must have been precisely why.
