A customer broken down on a road in Huntly needed a fuel drain around a month ago. His Ford was stopped roadside after he had filled up with the wrong fuel. He was calm when he rang us but somewhat concerned to get his car out of the road since he was causing considerable traffic. We were on scene in fifteen minutes as our technician was in neighbouring Huntly and had finished a fuel drain. He said, "I simply can not believe I put the wrong fuel in my diesel car and got stuck here! My vehicle was so spluttery I had to pull over and then it died."

Our Areas of Competence :

This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Aberdeenshire we have found an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent thanks to motorists not understanding how to work with it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right next to one another on the automobile.

Well, what's the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Because AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it's almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Additionally, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you put AdBlue into a fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And definitely take care not to switch on the car - not even to relocate it into a parking area. In the event that you did start the vehicle you would probably need to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a significant situation to take care of in a car - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel tank may result in idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied effectively, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out than water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both situations quite quickly.

Be aware that if the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will probably be completely water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we should be able to reach the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel reservoir in the rear of your premises containing unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few private and industrial premises in Aberdeenshire to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a number of drums in a garage, assuming that we can access it, we can empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Huntly (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a complete Aberdeenshire Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to fill up your car in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at cost) to fill up the car. They can also deal with the common troubles that could go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or even flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Huntly - Huntly Wrong Fuel Doctor

Last week a young man contacted us when his Porsche cut out on a street in Huntly. He had unintentionally put unleaded in the diesel car and drove to the street before having to pull up. It was yet early in the day and our engineer, who stays nearby, reached him in about a quarter hour. We managed to take out the wrong fuel and put clean diesel yet again in the car. "Thank you for your prompt response, especially at 4 a.m., I really am grateful for it."
