Our Areas of Competency :

Here is a list of the incorrect fuel services we give.

AdBlue In Diesel

How to proceed in the event that you may have put Adblue in a Diesel fuel tank? Adblue can be devastating to your vehicle's fuel system, particularly if you started the car with Adblue in the fuel tank. As soon as the engine has been switched on the Adblue will undoubtedly be injected into the fuel lines and will swiftly start to crystalise, triggering disastrous and expensive damage to your vehicle's fuel system.

If you find you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained right away. And obviously take care not to start the motor - not even to move it off of the pump. If you did start the vehicle you would probably have to have the complete fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a significant situation to handle in a vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel can potentially lead to idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out properly, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain than water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both situations very expediently.

You should know though that if ever the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the previous one is going to be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Providing the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to a vehicle parking bay we can gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel container sitting at the back of your premises full of old, useless or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many private and business properties in Highland for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps numerous containers in an outbuilding, assuming that we can access it, we can empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Grantown-on-Spey (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a complete Highland Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to re-fill your vehicle in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at cost) to fill up the car. They are also able to take care of the normal problems that might accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to start, and even flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue Grantown-on-Spey - Grantown-on-Spey Wrong Fuel

I appreciated a wonderful day hiking on my afternoon off and was feeling pleased the following day as I was en route to aid a new couple on vacation in Grantown-on-Spey. They'd stopped after putting diesel into their Honda, and the car was approximately half an hour away. I showed up at their car and smirked to myself as I listened to the girl telling her hubby off for being so daft. "Exactly how could you even manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she told him. I attempted to explain that this happens on a regular basis in Highland and that it's really nothing at all to get worried about, and yet he yet still got his ear bent by his wife. Poor guy. Anyhow, I drained out the polluted fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled it up with the correct fuel. Watching while they drove down the road I mouthed so long and considered what my wife would say to me in the event that I made the exact same blunder... I'd never hear the end of it!
