It was just after six pm on a Friday and though we were promised a dry and fresh night, it hadn't ceased raining! Mark and I were seated there talking about the football rankings, waiting for the seventh telephone call to come in. Inevitably we had a call from a lovely women on a business trip who had gone to the Tesco filling garage in Lochgilphead and filled petrol in a diesel Volkswagen lease car. She was rather distressed apparently, saying "I simply cannot believe that I've messed up the car! I'm so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I had did not remember I was using a diesel!" We asked her to relax and not to fret, also that such things sadly often happen. She was able to get the car to a secure area and, seeing as it was only a few minutes away from our van, we could reach the customer almost instantly. The bad fuel was extracted so she could get back to the Premier Inn she was lodging at. Even though we got extremely soaked, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive home calm and not so concerned. A job in Argyll and Bute well done in my opinion!

Services We Offer:

Here are the top services we deliver to our clients.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Argyll and Bute we have encountered progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where someone has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly caused by motorists not being aware of how to use it (note: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right next to one another on the car.

Well, what exactly is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Because AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you end up in this position do not panic! Call us, the UK?s Best fuel contamination business. Our technicians have the practical know-how and working experience to have you back on your way swiftly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is definitely a significant condition to take care of in an automobile - especially in modern common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel tank is likely to trigger idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with fully, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can handle both circumstances fairly swiftly.

You should know though that if ever the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Providing the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to a vehicle parking bay we will be able to reach the tanks and drain out the fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel tank sitting in the back of your garden full of unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several private and industrial premises in Argyll and Bute to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even several containers in an outbuilding, providing we can get to it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Lochgilphead (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a comprehensive Argyll and Bute Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to re-fill your car if 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 (bought at pump prices) and fill up the car. They will be able to fix any of the usual issues that might go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Recent Fuel Drains in Lochgilphead

Tales from our Lochgilphead team:

We performed a wrong fuel retrieval job on the drive of a beautiful house in Lochgilphead recently. "I had put the wrong fuel in my diesel car and managed to more or less get home when my car broke down." Our technician went out, regardless that it was pretty late at night, and performed a full fuel drain and purge on the MG to everyone's satisfaction.

Fuel Drain Lochgilphead - Lochgilphead Fuel Removal

A lady from Lochgilphead with a full car of little ones in her diesel Volvo had filled her vehicle with £40 of petrol at the Texaco petrol station. She called us sobbing and very worried as she had never wrong fuelled before and didn't know what could happen to her vehicle because of it. We told her that the vehicle should be okay and that she would be back ready to go soon. When we arrived she was still upset but while our engineer got to work on the fuel drain she simmered down because she recognised that something could be done and her vehicle wasn't ruined. She soon cheered up and was up and running saying, "I just can't believe my misfortune putting the wrong fuel in my car! Especially with the little ones in the back."
