Our Areas of Competency :

These are the fuel mistakes services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Inverclyde we are discovering more and more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is partly a result of people not being totally sure how to work with it (note: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly next to one another on the vehicle.

So, what exactly is the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained as soon as possible. And absolutely take care not to switch on the car - not even to relocate it into a parking bay. In the event that you did start the car you may in all probability have to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious condition to deal with in a car - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank may bring about idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out properly, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of than water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to deal with both situations rather swiftly.

Take note that if ever the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will likely be wholly wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or secured close to parking spot we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel container lying at the back of the garden containing out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous privately owned and business properties in Inverclyde for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a few containers in a garage, as long as we are able to get to it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Inverkip (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a complete Inverclyde Run Out of Fuel Service. We will help to re-fill your automobile in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) to fill your car or truck. They will deal with the common problems that may go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or even dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

It was yet in the early hours of the day and our engineer, who lives locally, got to him in less than a quarter hour. We were able to get rid of the wrong fuel and put fresh diesel once again in to the vehicle. "Thank you for your prompt response, especially at 2 a.m., I appreciate it."
