Our Fields of Expertise:

Here's a list of the wrong fuel services we give.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout South Lanarkshire we are identifying progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent a result of motorists being unsure of how to use it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Well, precisely what is the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing that the product is predominantly deionised water, it is as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Moreover, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

If perhaps you put AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it at once. And most definitely be careful not to start the engine - not even to relocate it into a parking area. In cases where you have started the vehicle you would probably need to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly a significant issue to handle in a vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel tank can potentially lead to idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not addressed fully, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove as compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both cases fairly easily.

You should know however that any time the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the old one is going to be completely water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to a vehicle parking spot we will be able to gain access to the tanks and remove the fuel. We've succesfully done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel tank lying at the rear of the garden with unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many privately owned and commercial properties in South Lanarkshire to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps a number of containers in a garage, provided that we can access it, we are able to drain it.

Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Kirkmuirhill and Blackwood (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a comprehensive South Lanarkshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to fill up your vehicle in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at cost) and fill up your automobile. They will deal with any of the standard troubles which can come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Recent Fuel Drains in Kirkmuirhill and Blackwood

Tales from our own Kirkmuirhill and Blackwood personnel:

I'm not actually too excited about working weekends, and a while back was no different. I had only just departed the family after a superb lunch cooked for me by the missus, and I was on the way to sort out a fellow who had filled the incorrect fuel in his Honda. He was stationed in Kirkmuirhill and Blackwood so it wasn't a long time before I arrived with him. As I drove up at the rear of the vehicle and stepped out he explained to me "Thank the Almighty! I incredibly had my mind on other considerations and failed to realise I've put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. Have I created damage as a result of running it?" I said truth be told there probably should not be any harm and also I'd remove the fuel immediately for him. Obviously I drained the wrong fuel from the vehicle and filled up with some appropriate fuel, and then another contented customer had the ability to continue his trip without the bother. He could hardly stop thanking me, and this can make carrying out work on Sundays in South Lanarkshire that little bit easier to me!

Wrong Fuel Drain Kirkmuirhill and Blackwood - Kirkmuirhill and Blackwood Vehicle Misfuel

This was most definitely what we call the graveyard shift. It was around 3:30 in the morning and almost noone was stirring. It had been rather uneventful so far, and Brian and I were sitting about browsing a number of old newspapers. It was a rare tranquil hour in South Lanarkshire. Actually it was in fact that relaxing that the instant the phone finally rang I leaped! The person on the phone said: "I only just concluded my night shift and incredibly put petrol in my Citroen by mistake". I got him to let us know where the vehicle was located and we set off, reaching him in Kirkmuirhill and Blackwood less than an hour or so later. The fuel was cleared from the vehicle and he said thank you for arriving so quickly. While we were heading back to base we noticed two girls at the side of the road who seemed to have a puncture. Obviously we pulled over and helped them change it, to their elation.

Wrong Fuel Drain Kirkmuirhill and Blackwood - Kirkmuirhill and Blackwood Petrol in Diesel

A gentleman rang us from his place on a close in Kirkmuirhill and Blackwood. He said, "My car (a Mercedes) is not starting up and is generating dreadful noises when I flip the key." He admitted that he had put petrol in his diesel car but then thought he would fix the issue by putting further Diesel on top. We were on scene quickly, carried out the drain and filled him up again with untainted Diesel. He said he would be absolutely sure to tell people not to fill up over the wrong fuel but to have it drained promptly.
