Our Services:

Here is a list of the incorrect fuel services we give.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Scottish Borders we have identified a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent due to motorists not being aware of how to use it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and partly because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly near to each other on the automobile.

So, what exactly is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Apart from this, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you put AdBlue in your fuel tank remove it right away. And obviously do not start up the vehicle - not even to shift it off the pump. If you did start the vehicle you will in all probability have to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is without question a significant condition to deal with in a motor vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Water inside your petrol or diesel can trigger idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied fully, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove as compared to water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can handle both circumstances pretty expediently.

Bear in mind that if ever the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the old one will undoubtedly be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to parking bay we should be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have undertaken numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel tank laying at the back of your garden containing aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many domestic and industrial properties in Scottish Borders to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even several drums in an outbuilding, if we are able to reach it, we are able to drain it.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Kelso (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a comprehensive Scottish Borders Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to fill up your car if you are stranded on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at pump price) and fill up your automobile. They are also able to fix the typical issues which may go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Recent Fuel Drains in Kelso

Several examples:

Now I am certainly not overly keen on working Sundays, and a couple weeks ago was no different. I had just left home after a magnificent Sunday roast prepared by the better half, and I was on my way to deal with a guy who had put the wrong petrol in his BMW. He was stationed in Kelso so I was with him before long. As I arrived right behind the car and got busy draining he said to me "Thank God! I foolishly had my concentration on other things and failed to ascertain I have put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. Have I created any problems through starting it?" I explained that there probably should not be harm and that I'd remove the contaminated fuel as quickly as possible for him. Naturally I removed the fuel from the vehicle and filled up with some suitable fuel, and so one more satisfied client had the ability to continue on their trip without the need for bother. The gentleman could not stop thanking me, and this can make working on weekends in Scottish Borders just a small bit less painful for me!

She contacted us crying and really worried as she had never put petrol in a diesel and didn't know what might happen to her vehicle in doing so. We told her that all should be fine and that she would be back in action in no time at all. When we arrived she was visible upset but as our technician got to work on the fuel drain she calmed down as she discovered that something could be done and her vehicle wasn't wrecked. She soon enough cheered up and was on the road again saying, "I really can't believe my luck putting the wrong fuel in my vehicle! Specifically with the youngsters in the back."

Fuel Drain Kelso - Kelso Fuel Removal

I had enjoyed a terrific evening hiking on the weekend and was feeling cheerful with myself the following working day as I headed out to aid a new family vacationing in Kelso. They had broken down after putting diesel into their Nissan, and were roughly an hour away. I emerged at their location and smiled while I heard to the wife berating her man for turning out to be so confused. "Exactly how could you possibly be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she demanded of him. I attempted to clarify that this situation comes to pass on a regular basis in Scottish Borders and that it's actually nothing to be concerned about, nevertheless he all the same had an ear bashing. I felt sorry for the lad. Anyways, I drained out all the contaminated fuel, flushed the engine and filled it up with the right fuel. As they drove away I waved goodbye and pondered on what her indoors would do to me in the event that I did the very same thing... I'd personally never ever live it down!
