It was after seven pm on a Saturday and though we were promised a dry and fresh night, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Paul and me were seated there commenting on the recent rugby, waiting around for the 6th call to arrive. In due time we received the phone call from a girl on a company trip who had arrived at the Esso filling station in Lochmaben and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Vauxhall hire car by mistake. She was pretty irritated apparently, saying "I simply can't believe I've ruined the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I totally didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I instructed her to take it easy and not to worry, and also that things like this sadly do happen. She managed to maneuver the car into a safe position and, seeing that it was no more than a few miles away from us, we could arrive at the lady rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was extracted so she was able to get back to the motel she was lodging at. Despite the fact we got extremely soaked, it was all worth the effort to see her drive away contented and not so apprehensive. A misfuel correction in Dumfries and Galloway well done in my mind!

Listed below are our top services we give to our clients.

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Dumfries and Galloway we are identifying more and more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part as a consequence of drivers not knowing the right way to use it (be aware: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right next to one another on the automobile.

Well, precisely what is the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

Give us a call if it turns out you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will attend to every type of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant issue to deal with in a car - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Water inside your petrol or diesel can certainly cause idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied fully, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can deal with both situations very swiftly.

Keep in mind that so long as the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will likely be totally water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to a car parking bay we can gain access to the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel container in the back of your garden full of unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and industrial properties in Dumfries and Galloway for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps several drums in a shed, provided that we can get to it, we are able to empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Lochmaben (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a full Dumfries and Galloway Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to re-fill your automobile in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at pump prices) and fill the car. They will be able to take care of any of the usual problems that may go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.
