We can assist you with these mis-fuel problems.

AdBlue Contamination

In Scottish Borders we are identifying a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree a result of people not being aware of the way to use it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right near to each other on the car.

Well, what exactly is the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Because the product is mainly ionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Furthermore, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

If you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And certainly take care not to crank the motor - not even to move it to a parking area. In the event that you have started the car you may in all probability have to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious matter to handle in a car - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water in diesel or petrol can produce idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out properly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove in comparison with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can handle both situations rather swiftly.

Take note that if ever the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one is going to be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or situated close to an automobile parking spot we should be able to access the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We've done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel reservoir at the back of the garden containing out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of private and business premises in Scottish Borders to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or even numerous drums in a storage shed, provided that we can reach it, we can certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Melrose (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a complete Scottish Borders Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to fill up your vehicle if you are stranded on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at cost) and refill your car or truck. They can also take care of any of the normal issues that could accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or maybe flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Melrose - Melrose Fuel Drain

I had enjoyed a great afternoon hiking during the weekend and felt cheerful the following working day as I was on the way to assist a new couple holidaying in Melrose. They pulled over after filling the wrong fuel in their MINI, and they were around half an hour's drive away. I emerged at their location and smirked as I heard to the girl telling her man off for actually being so foolish. "How could you possibly manage to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I attempted to clarify that this happens constantly in Scottish Borders and that it is absolutely nothing to fret about, even so he yet still had his ear bent. Poor lad. Anyways, I extracted all the wrong fuel, flushed the motor and gave them some appropriate fuel. While watching them drive down the road I mouthed bon voyage and considered what my wife would tell me if I made the exact same mistake... I would under no circumstances hear the end of it!
