As we'd stated she was exactly that, but not before declaring: "Your business is very service driven, I'm extremely pleased that my vehicle is working," and that she'd endorse us to anyone.

Here are the top services we offer to our clients.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Scottish Borders we are identifying an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to some extent due to drivers not knowing the right way to use it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and partly because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly adjacent to one another on the automobile.

So, what's the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? As AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it's like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Apart from this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you put AdBlue into a fuel tank drain it immediately. And obviously be careful not to crank the vehicle - not even to move it to a parking area. In the instance that you did start the car you would likely have to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a serious matter to take care of in a car - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water in petrol or diesel can potentially cause idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not dealt with properly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove as compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both cases fairly simply.

Bear in mind that in the event that the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one will be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to a car parking bay we are able to reach the storage and remove the fuel. We have carried out numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have a fuel tank sitting in the rear of the garden full of out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous privately owned and commercial properties in Scottish Borders to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps several drums in a storage shed, if we are able to get to it, we could certainly empty it.

Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Melrose (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a full Scottish Borders Run Out of Fuel Service. We will help to re-fill your automobile in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump price) to fill your car. They are also able to take care of the most common issues which may go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or maybe dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Melrose - Melrose Wrong Fuel in Car

A week ago a man telephoned us after his Volvo broke down in the middle of a street in Melrose. He had by mistake put unleaded in the diesel vehicle and got to the street before needing to pull up. It was actually early in the morning and our engineer, who lives nearby, arrived with him in approximately a quarter hour. We were able to get rid of the wrong fuel and put fresh diesel yet again into the car. "Thank you for your fast response, and in particular at 6 a.m., I truly am grateful for it."
