This is exactly what we do best.

AdBlue Contamination

All around Highland we have encountered a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly caused by people being unsure of the right way to use it (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right next to one another on the automobile.

Now, what exactly is the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? As AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Additionally, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If you put AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it at the earliest opportunity. And most certainly take care not to switch on the vehicle - not even to relocate it away from the pump. In cases where you did start the car you will almost certainly need to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, can be a serious matter to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Water in the fuel is going to contribute to idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied correctly, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to clean out as compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both situations rather swiftly.

Keep in mind though that whenever the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one will probably be completely wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or moored close to a car or truck parking bay we are able to access the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel tank at the back of your premises with old, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of private and commercial properties in Highland for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps some drums in a garage, if we can access it, we can empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Grantown-on-Spey (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a full Highland Run Out of Fuel Service. We will come to re-fill your car in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump price) to fill your vehicle. They will fix the typical troubles that might accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Grantown-on-Spey - Grantown-on-Spey Wrong Fuel Assist

I enjoyed a wonderful evening golfing on my holiday and felt contented with myself the following working day as I set out to help a new family who were away in Grantown-on-Spey. They had pulled over after filling the wrong fuel in their Land Rover, and were about half an hour away. I emerged at their location and smiled to myself as I listened to the wife berating her spouse for being so stupid. "Just how could you possibly manage to fill the vehicle up by using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I attempted to tell her that this problem goes on all the time in Highland and that it's in reality nothing at all to stress about, nonetheless he still had an ear bashing. Unlucky boy. Anyways, I cleaned up and removed all of the wrong fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave them some right fuel. Watching as they drove off I mouthed good bye and considered what her indoors would tell me if ever I made the exact same error... I'd personally never live it down!
