It was before eight pm on a Thursday and while we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't given up on pouring! Ryan and I were resting there going over the recent tennis, prepared for the next fuel drain that day to come in. Inevitably we had a phone call from a young lady on a business excursion who had gone to the Esso petrol station in Lesmahagow and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Fiat hire car. The unfortunate thing was fairly affected it seemed, stating "I simply cannot believe that I've ruined the car! I'm just so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I totally forgot I was driving a diesel!" We asked her to settle back and not to be concerned, also that these things sadly happen.

Our Areas of Expertise :

Listed here are the top services we offer to our clients.

AdBlue Contamination

In South Lanarkshire we have discovered an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a person has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent thanks to motorists not being totally sure the way to use it (remember: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly adjacent to one another on the automobile.

Now, exactly what is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it's just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Furthermore, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it out at the earliest opportunity. And definitely don't start up the motor - not even to shift it into a parking place. If perhaps you have started the car you would likely need to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is certainly an important issue to address in a vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel tank can easily produce idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed correctly, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both circumstances quite swiftly.

Keep in mind however that whenever the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one will be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to a car or truck parking bay we can access the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

We've been called out to a number of private and commercial properties in South Lanarkshire to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages.

Wrong Fuel Lesmahagow - Lesmahagow Fuel Rescue

A person contacted us from his residence on a close in Lesmahagow. He explained, "My vehicle (a MG) is not starting and is making dreadful noises when I flip the ignition." He confessed that he put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle but then imagined he would solve the problem by putting additional Diesel on top. We were on scene promptly, did the drain and filled it up again with untainted Diesel. He told us that he would be absolutely sure to tell people not to fill up on top of the wrong fuel but to get it drained immediately.
