It was just before 9 pm on a Friday and while we were assured a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Ryan and I were resting there discussing the football results, ready for the sixth call for the day to come in. In due time we received a phone call from a young lady on a company expedition who had pulled into the Shell filling station in High Valleyfield and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Fiat lease car in error. She was quite troubled apparently, saying "I simply cannot believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I had did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I instructed her to relax and not to worry, and also that these things regrettably often happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle into a secure spot and, since it was no more than a few miles off from where we were, we were able to arrive at the lady without delay. The wrong fuel was drained so she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was staying in. Although we got fairly soaked, it was all worthwhile to see her drive home contented and a lot less stressed. One more misfuel correction in Fife done well in my mind!

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Fife we have seen more and more cases of AdBlue contamination where a person has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to some extent as a consequence of motorists not being aware of how to work with it (note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly close to one another on the automobile.

Now, precisely what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

In case you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank remove it right away. And certainly be careful not to crank the car - not even to move it to a parking spot. In the event that you did start the car you would almost certainly have to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is actually a serious situation to address in a vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Having water in the diesel or petrol will often cause idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with effectively, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both circumstances quite simply.

Bear in mind that whenever the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the old one will probably be wholly wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to parking bay we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

We have been called out to many private and industrial premises in Fife to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even numerous containers in a storage shed, providing we are able to access it, we are able to drain it.
