It was about 10 pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Mark and me were seated there talking over the golf results, prepared for the seventh telephone call of the day to come in. Before long we had a call from a lady on a company excursion who had arrived at the Texaco petrol station in Innerleithen and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Vauxhall lease car. The poor thing was quite agitated it seemed, stating "I can't believe I have messed up the car! I'm so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car that I totally didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I instructed her to calm down and not to fret, and that such things regrettably do happen. She managed to move the car to a protected space and, since it was only a few miles away from our van, we were able to find the lady rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was removed so she could get back to the hotel she was staying at. Although we got very drenched, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive away calm and less concerned. Yet another job in Scottish Borders well done in my opinion!

Our Areas of Expertise :

We can help you with these mis-fuel problems.

AdBlue Contamination

What you should do if you have put Adblue into a Diesel fuel tank? AdBlue is a liquid made of a blend of high-purity ionized water and urea.Adblue is actually damaging to your car's fuel system, particularly if you have had the engine running with Adblue in your tank. As soon as the engine has been started up the Adblue will likely be squirted into your fuel lines and will quickly begin to crystalise, causing devastating and costly problems to your vehicle's fuel system.

Phone us if you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to take care of all kinds of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is usually a significant condition to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel tank may well cause idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out properly, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both cases quite expediently.

Take note however that if the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will undoubtedly be wholly wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to an automobile parking bay we will be able to reach the storage and remove the fuel. We have done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank laying at the back of your garden containing unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of privately owned and industrial properties in Scottish Borders to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even numerous containers in a garage, provided that we are able to reach it, we can empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Innerleithen (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a complete Scottish Borders Out of Fuel Service. We will come to fill up the car in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) to fill your car. They are also able to fix any of the normal issues which can accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or maybe dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Recent Fuel Drains in Innerleithen

Some of the more routine things we pick up from our engineers in Innerleithen:

Now I am not necessarily excessively hot for carrying out work on Sundays, and a week ago was no different. I had only just left home after eating a lovely dinner made for us by the wife, and I was off to deal with a fellow after he filled the wrong fuel in his Vauxhall. He was somewhere in Innerleithen and so it wasn't long before I got to him. Just as I arrived behind the vehicle and got busy draining he said to me "Thank God! I had my mind on something else and didn't ascertain I have put diesel in my petrol car. I need to know if I brought on any problems by simply running it?" I explained truth be told there probably should not be any kind of damage and that I would personally get the contaminated fuel drained at once for him. It goes without saying that I got the fuel drained from the car and filled up with the appropriate fuel, and so one more satisfied client was able to continue his trip without the fuss. He could hardly stop saying thanks to me, and this is exactly what makes working on Sundays in Scottish Borders just that tiny bit easier for me personally!

Wrong Fuel Drain Innerleithen - Innerleithen Vehicle Misfuel

A motorist living in Innerleithen phoned us shortly after she tried to get her misfueled vehicle to the office. She had put unleaded in her diesel Mercedes and, like countless before her, believed that she would be able to just top up the car with diesel and it'd run no problem. The engine was spluttering and then it stopped when she arrived at the the front of her work. We immediately went to work on the fuel drain after she called and got it fixed within an hour whilst she was working. She came out when we finished and thanked us stating, "I'm very pleased you fixed my vehicle."
