This is what we do best.

AdBlue Contamination

In Scottish Borders we are identifying an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination where a person has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent a result of motorists not understanding how to to make use of (pay attention: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right next to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing that the product is mostly ionised water, it is actually like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Apart from this, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

Call us if you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can easily take care of every type of AdBlue contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is actually a serious issue to take care of in an automobile - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Having water in your petrol or diesel can easily contribute to idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not addressed effectively, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both cases rather swiftly.

Keep in mind though that in the event that the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be installed because the previous one will be totally water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to a vehicle parking bay we are able to reach the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir lying at the rear of your premises full of unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few private and commercial properties in Scottish Borders to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a few containers in an outbuilding, as long as we can access it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Lauder (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a complete Scottish Borders Run Out of Fuel Service. We can help to re-fill your car in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump price) to fill up your vehicle. They will handle any of the usual troubles that can go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or even dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Lauder - Lauder Wrong Fuel

A guy had stopped just off a road in Lauder. His Porsche engine had stopped functioning and he'd no clue what was faulty until he realised he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel car. He contacted us to get a fuel drain and that is when he said to us: "I can't believe that I did not detect that I had put the wrong fuel in my car." He said that he had gotten virtually no sleep the evening before and that could have been precisely why.
