He told us; "I am honestly dumbfounded I put the wrong fuel in my car. And the technician who came to perform the fuel drain was incredibly pleasant - he did not make me feel like a plonker."

Offered Services: Our Specialties:

Listed below are our top services we offer to our customers.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

How to proceed in case you may have put Adblue in your Diesel fuel tank? It tends to be disastrous to your vehicle's fuel system, especially if you have had the engine running with Adblue in the diesel tank. Once the engine has been switched on the Adblue is going to be squirted into your fuel lines and will promptly start to crystalise, leading to catastrophic and costly problems to your car's fuel system.

If you put AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it as soon as possible. And definitely do not crank the motor - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. Assuming you have started the car you may very likely need to have the entire fuel system purged and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is actually a serious condition to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel will often cause idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with correctly, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can take care of both situations very swiftly.

Be aware that in the event that the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one is going to be totally wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we can access the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel container lying at the rear of your premises full of unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many private and industrial premises in Dumfries and Galloway 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. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a number of drums in a garage, assuming that we are able to reach it, we could certainly drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Gretna (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a complete Dumfries and Galloway Run Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to refill your vehicle in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at cost) and fill up your car or truck. They will be able to take care of the most common troubles that may go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as dead batteries because of over-cranking.


Fuel Rescue Gretna - Gretna Fuel Rescue

I had enjoyed a fantastic afternoon hiking on my off day and was feeling satisfied the following day as I set out to assist a young family who were away in Gretna. They conked out after putting the wrong fuel into their Skoda, and were approximately an hour's travel away. I showed up at their position and smiled to myself while I listened to the gal berating her husband for turning out to be so stupid. "Just how could you actually manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she told him. I attempted to clarify that this situation takes place frequently in Dumfries and Galloway and that it's actually nothing at all to worry about, nevertheless he yet still had an ear bashing by his missus. Poor boy. In any case, I removed the wrong fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled it up with the proper fuel. Watching them drive down the road I waved hasta la vista and thought about what my wife would say to me if ever I did the exact same thing... I'd never ever hear the end of it!
