It was about 6 pm on a Saturday and while we were guaranteed a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't given up on pouring! Dan and me were relaxing there talking about the weekend's sports, waiting for the 8th fuel drain that day to come in. Finally we had the call from a woman on a business expedition who had arrived at the Esso filling station in Grantown-on-Spey and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Smart rental by mistake. She was very troubled by the sounds of it, crying "I simply cannot believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I'm so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car that I completely didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" We told her to calm down and not to be concerned, plus that these things can happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle to a protected position and, seeing that it was no more than a short distance from our van, we were able to get to the lady right away.

Services We Give:
Listed here are the top services we deliver to our customers.
AdBlue Contamination
Throughout Highland we have found progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree thanks to people not knowing the right way to use it (pay attention: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly next to one another on the vehicle.
Well, what exactly is the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Since AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Additionally, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.
If you find you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And definitely don't start the engine - not even to relocate it away from the pump. In the instance that you did start the car you would likely have to have the full fuel system flushed and filters changed out.
Water contaminated fuel
Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a serious situation to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water in petrol or diesel will cause idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out properly, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove than water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both circumstances fairly swiftly.
Remember though that as long as the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted as the previous one will be thoroughly wet and ineffective.
Marine Fuel Drains
If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we should be able to reach the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

We've been called out to numerous private and industrial properties in Highland for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages.

A few reviews:
I am not actually overly enthusiastic about running Sundays, and a while back was the same. I had only just departed the wife and kids after a magnificent Sunday roast cooked for us by the missus, and I was en route to deal with a man after he had filled the wrong fuel in his Chevrolet. He was only in Grantown-on-Spey and so I arrived there rapidly. Just as I pulled up behind the vehicle and started work he told me "Praise the Lord! I stupidly had my attention on other stuff and didn't perceive I have put diesel in my petrol car. Is it possible I created some harm as a result of driving it?" I determined there probably should not be harm and that also I'd drain the fuel quickly. As expected I got the wrong fuel drained from the vehicle and put in some appropriate fuel, and then yet another content client could continue on their ride without difficulty. He could not stop thanking me, and this is actually what tends to make earning a living on Sundays in Highland just a small bit less painful for me!
