It was about 6 pm on a Wednesday and even though we were assured a dry evening, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Ryan and I were relaxing there talking about the golf rankings, waiting around for the seventh job to arrive. Eventually we got a phone call from a girl on a company trip who had gone to the Texaco petrol garage in Lochgilphead and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Peugeot rental car. The poor thing was pretty troubled apparently, crying "I simply cannot believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I am so used to filling up my petrol car I had forgot I was operating a diesel!" We told her to relax and not to fret, also that these things sadly do happen. She had managed to maneuver the car into a safe space and, seeing that it was only a short distance from the office, we were able to arrive at the woman right away. The wrong fuel was removed so she could get back to the Premier Inn she was staying in. Even though we got fairly soaked, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive home calm and not so apprehensive. Yet another misfuel correction in Argyll and Bute done well in my mind!

What a fantastic night of sleep! It was 7:00 am on a sunny Monday and we were off to help an elder lady who had put contaminated fuel in her diesel Hyundai in Lochgilphead. She told us that she had left the petrol station and stranded in a rural road on route to pay a visit to her godchildren. I got her location plugged straight into the TomTom and was on-scene in less than 60 minutes. I turned up at the destination and drained the contaminated fuel out of the car. As I was working she told me, "I am getting quite absent-minded in my senior years and forgot about the car working with diesel because I had only just purchased it a few days back because my former car, which I had used for about twenty five years, inevitably stopped working". I got the drain done and she gifted me a Murray mint and said thanks a lot. What a precious Argyll and Bute woman!

AdBlue In your Fuel
Throughout Argyll and Bute we have found increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination where an individual has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is in part as a result of people not being aware of how to to make use of (remember: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right adjacent to one another on the car.
So, what exactly is the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? As AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Apart from this, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.
Whenever you end up in this scenario do not fret or panic! Call us, the UK?s Best fuel contamination business. Our engineers have the practical knowledge and experience to get you back on the road swiftly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.
Fuel contaminated with water
Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, tends to be an important matter to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel tank can potentially lead to idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not sorted out correctly, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to take care of both situations very quickly.
Be aware however that any time the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and useless.
Boat Fuel Drains
If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or moored near to a vehicle parking spot we are able to access the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

We a few weeks ago got a phone call about a motorist who had put the wrong fuel in his BMW in Lochgilphead. He had conked out on the road. "I was pleased at how rapid you were in having a fuel drainer out to aid me when I erroneously put the wrong fuel in my. I'm very grateful".

Fuel Drain Lochgilphead - Lochgilphead Petrol in Diesel
It truly was the graveyard shift. It was around 2am and noone was about. It was fairly uneventful so far, and Brian and I were loafing reading through a few old magazines. This was an unusual tranquil moment in Argyll and Bute. Actually it was indeed that peaceful that the instant my mobile rang it made me jump! The person said: "I've completed my evening shift and incredibly filled petrol in a diesel BMW in error". I instructed him to tell us where exactly he was situated and we set off, getting to him in Lochgilphead under half an hour later. The fuel was cleaned up and removed from the car. He thanked us profusely for arriving so fast. As we were returning home we spotted two young ladies at the side of the highway who seemed like they suffered a flat. So we got out to help them change it, much to their elation.
