It was just after 7 pm on a Friday and though we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Brian and I were resting there talking about the recent rugby rankings, waiting around for the next telephone call to come in. In due time we got a call from a woman on a company expedition who had gone to the Tesco petrol station in Longniddry and put petrol in a diesel MG rental in error. The unfortunate thing was rather agitated apparently, stating "I simply cannot believe that I have messed up the car! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I completely didn't remember I was running a diesel!" We advised her to settle back and not to fret, also that such things can happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle into a protected area and, because it was only a few miles away from our van, we were able to reach the woman almost instantly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could return to the motel she was living at. Despite the fact that we got fairly soaked, it was all rewarding to watch her drive away calm and much less worried. Yet another fuel drain in East Lothian well done in my opinion!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

What you should do in the event that you have put Adblue into a Diesel fuel tank? It can be disastrous to your car's fuel system, especially if you run the engine with Adblue in your diesel tank. As soon as the engine has been started up the Adblue will likely be pulled into the fuel lines and will promptly begin to crystalise, triggering disastrous and costly damage to your vehicle's fuel system.

In the case you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it as quickly as possible. And of course never crank the engine - not even to move it to a parking area. Assuming you have started the car you would in all likelihood have to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important condition to address in an automobile - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Water in your fuel will cause idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out correctly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both cases quite quickly.

Take note however that so long as the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will probably be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to parking bay we will be able to reach the tanks and remove the fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

We have been called out to several domestic and industrial premises in East Lothian to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally.

Run out of fuel in Longniddry (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a full East Lothian Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to fill up your vehicle in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) and refill the car. They can also handle the standard issues that can go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe flat batteries because of over-cranking.
