AdBlue In Diesel

In Dumfries and Galloway we are noticing more and more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent a result of drivers not being aware of how to work with it (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly close to each other on the automobile.

Now, exactly what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? As AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Furthermore, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you put AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it as soon as possible. And obviously take care not to switch on the vehicle - not even to relocate it into a parking place. In the event that you have started the vehicle you will most likely need to have the full fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is actually a significant issue to deal with in an automobile - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Water in your diesel or petrol can easily bring about idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not remedied properly, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove compared to water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both situations fairly expediently.

Remember though that in the event that the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the old one will be totally wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. As long as the boat is either on land, or secured near to an automobile parking bay we are able to gain access to the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank lying at the rear of the garden containing old, useless or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few domestic and business premises in Dumfries and Galloway for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or even some drums in a storage shed, providing we are able to get to it, we are able to empty it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Locharbriggs (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a comprehensive Dumfries and Galloway Run Out of Fuel Service. We will help to re-fill your automobile in cases where 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 correct fuel (purchased at cost) and fill your car or truck. They are also able to handle the typical issues which could go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Locharbriggs - Locharbriggs Vehicle Misfuel

I enjoyed a great afternoon golfing during my day off and was feeling satisfied with myself the next working day as I headed out to help a young couple vacationing in Locharbriggs. They'd stopped after filling the wrong fuel into their Volkswagen, and were approximately an hour's travel away. I arrived at their position and laughed to myself while I heard to the girl telling her man off for actually being so daft. "How could you actually be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she asked him. I wanted to explain that this problem comes to pass regularly in Dumfries and Galloway and that it's actually nothing at all to get worried about, even so he in spite of everything got an earful. Poor lad. Anyways, I removed all the wrong fuel, flushed the engine and filled them up with the correct fuel. While they drove down the road I mouthed goodbye and considered what her indoors would tell me if ever I did the exact same thing... I'd never ever live it down!

Fuel Drain Locharbriggs - Locharbriggs Wrong Fuel

This was certainly the night shift. It was about 2:30am and nobody was about. It had become pretty quiet so far, and Ray and I were loafing around looking at several old newspapers. It was an uncommon restful time in Dumfries and Galloway. Actually it was indeed so peaceful that the instant the phone eventually rang it made me start! The voice said: "I've only just finished my night shift and incredibly filled petrol in a diesel Skoda in error". I instructed him to let us know just where he was and we left, reaching him in Locharbriggs half an hour later. The contaminated fuel was extracted from the car. He said thanks a lot for coming so promptly. As we were returning home we found two young ladies on the edge of the highway who seemed to have a puncture. Obviously we stopped and helped them change it, much to their delight.
