It was around 5 pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry evening, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Mark and I were sitting there talking over the tennis rankings, waiting around for the sixth call to arrive. Inevitably we had the call from a lady on a company expedition who had arrived at the Tesco petrol garage in Grantown-on-Spey and filled petrol in her diesel Hyundai rental car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was somewhat distressed by the sounds of it, stating "I just can't believe I've ruined the car! I am so used to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot I was operating a diesel!" I just advised her to calm down and not to worry, also that such things happen. She was able to maneuver the car into a secure position and, as it was just a few miles away from us, we could reach the customer rather quickly.

Services We Offer:

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

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Highland we are encountering a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent a result of drivers not being aware of the right way to work with it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right close to one another on the automobile.

Well, what is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing as the product is predominantly ionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Additionally, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you get in this position don?t panic! Contact us, the UK?s Best fuel contamination service. Our engineers possess the technical knowledge and experience to get you back on your way swiftly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is without question an important situation to handle in an automobile - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water in the petrol or diesel will contribute to idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out fully, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can take care of both cases very swiftly.

Remember however that if the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will undoubtedly be totally wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to a car parking bay we are able to gain access to the tanks and remove the fuel. We have undertaken numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got an old fuel tank sitting at the rear of the garden with unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and business premises in Highland to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or even several drums in an outbuilding, assuming that we are able to access it, we can certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Grantown-on-Spey (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a complete Highland Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to fill up your vehicle in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) and fill up your car.
