Our Areas of Expertise :

Do you or your drivers frequently misfuel your vehicle? We can fix any connected issues.

AdBlue Contamination

In Glasgow City we are identifying a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly caused by motorists not understanding the way to use it (important: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right next to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what's the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Because the product is predominantly ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And absolutely take care not to start up the vehicle - not even to relocate it into a parking bay. In cases where you have started the car you may likely need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is generally a serious matter to address in an automobile - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel will often lead to idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not addressed effectively, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove when compared with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both cases very easily.

Keep in mind that as long as the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the previous one will undoubtedly be wholly wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to a vehicle parking spot we will be able to access the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel container lying in the back of your garden with unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of private and industrial premises in Glasgow City to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even a few drums in a shed, assuming that we are able to reach it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Glasgow (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a comprehensive Glasgow City Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to refill the car in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at cost) to fill your vehicle. They are also able to fix any of the most common issues which can come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to start, and even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Glasgow - Glasgow Wrong Fuel Drain

I had a terrific day cycling during my afternoon off and was feeling cheerful with myself the next working day as I set off to assist a new couple who were vacationing in Glasgow. They stopped after putting petrol into their Mazda, and they were roughly half an hour's drive away. I showed up at their car and smirked as I heard to the girl telling off her spouse for turning out to be so daft. "Exactly how could you conceivably find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she asked him. I wanted to explain that this comes to pass on a regular basis in Glasgow City and that it's in reality absolutely nothing to fret about, but he in spite of everything had an ear bashing by his better half. Unfortunate guy. At any rate, I drained out all of the polluted fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave them some correct fuel. Watching as they drove away I mouthed good-bye and pondered on what her indoors would tell me if ever I made the same blunder... I'd personally never live it down!
