It was about 10 pm on a Monday and though we were assured a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring! Brian and me were relaxing there talking about the weekend's tennis, prepared for the next job that day to arrive. In due time we got the call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had arrived at the Esso filling garage in Huntly and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel BMW rental car by mistake. She was quite agitated apparently, saying "I simply can't believe I have ruined the vehicle! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle I had forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I just advised her to calm down and not to worry, plus that these things regrettably happen. She was able to get the car into a secure spot and, seeing as it was no more than a few miles away from us, we could get to the woman swiftly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to go home to the motel she was staying in. Despite the fact we got very soaked, it was all worth it seeing her drive away satisfied and less worried. Another job in Aberdeenshire well done in my mind!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Aberdeenshire we are encountering a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination where a driver has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree caused by motorists not being aware of the way to work with it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly close to one another on the automobile.

Well, what is the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Because AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Also, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

In case you find yourself in this scenario don?t panic! Call us, the UK?s Premium fuel contamination company. Our technicians have got the technical know-how and working experience to get you back on the road promptly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, tends to be a serious situation to take care of in a vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines. Water in fuel can potentially lead to idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not remedied effectively, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out as compared with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to take care of both situations rather expediently.

You should know that if ever the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to a vehicle parking bay we can access the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've performed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank placed at the back of your premises containing out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of private and business properties in Aberdeenshire to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even numerous drums in an outbuilding, as long as we are able to get to it, we could certainly drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Huntly (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a complete Aberdeenshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to refill the car in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump price) to refill your vehicle. They can also take care of the most common issues that can go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.
