It was close to 5 pm on a Saturday and even though we were assured a dry night, it hadn't stopped raining! Mark and me were relaxing there talking over the weekend's tennis results, waiting for the seventh job of the day to arrive. Inevitably we got the phone call from a young lady on a business expedition who had arrived at the Tesco petrol station in Melrose and filled petrol in a diesel Citroen rental car in error. The unfortunate thing was rather distressed by the sounds of it, saying "I cannot believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I had didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" I asked her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and that these things regrettably can happen. She managed to relocate the car to a protected area and, because it was just a few miles off from where we were, we could reach the woman rather quickly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could return to the Travelodge she was living at. Despite the fact that we got very wet, it was all worth it to watch her drive home satisfied and not so anxious. One more misfuel correction in Scottish Borders done well in my books!

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Scottish Borders we are finding increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination when an individual has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly stemming from people not knowing how to work with it (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Now, precisely what is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing as the product is mainly ionised water, it is actually like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

Give us a call if it turns out you are struggling with AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and have the ability to take care of every type of AdBlue contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is without question an important condition to deal with in a car - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel can lead to idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed effectively, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain compared to water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both circumstances rather swiftly.

Keep in mind however that whenever the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to parking spot we are able to gain access to the tanks and remove the fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir sitting in the back of the garden with unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several private and industrial properties in Scottish Borders to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even some drums in a shed, if we can get to it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Melrose (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a comprehensive Scottish Borders Run Out of Fuel Service. We can help to re-fill your automobile any time you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at cost) to refill your vehicle. They can also handle any of the most common issues that may go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Melrose - Melrose Wrong Fuel

A customer had conked out just off a street in Melrose. His Renault motor had stopped working and he'd no idea what was wrong until eventually he noticed he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle. He rang us to get a fuel drain and it was then when he told us: "I can't believe that I did not realise that I had put the wrong fuel in my vehicle." He said that he had gotten absolutely no sleep the night before and that could have been why.
