It was just before 6 pm on a Saturday and though we were promised a dry evening, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ray and I were seated commenting on the weekend's footy, ready for the seventh job that day to arrive. Eventually we had a call from a lady on a business excursion who had gone to the Shell filling station in Newmachar and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Suzuki rental. The unfortunate thing was quite affected apparently, saying "I still can't believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I had forgot that I was driving a diesel!" We instructed her to relax and not to be concerned, and also that these things sadly happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle to a safe area and, because it was just a few miles away from us, we could arrive at the lady swiftly. The bad fuel was extracted and she was able to go home to the hotel she was staying in. Despite the fact we got really soaked, it was all worth it to watch her drive off relaxed and not so anxious. One more fuel drain in Aberdeenshire done well in my books!

We are ready to take the wrong fuel work.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Aberdeenshire we have found a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly as a result of people being unsure of how to to make use of (note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right adjacent to each other on the automobile.

So, precisely what is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? As the product is primarily deionised water, it is actually like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition to this, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If you end up in this scenario don?t panic! Call us, the UK?s Number one fuel contamination business. Our engineers possess the technical competence and experience to get you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is without question an important condition to handle in a motor vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank can easily cause idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied effectively, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain compared to water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to solve both circumstances fairly swiftly.

Take note however that as long as the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will probably be completely wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to a vehicle parking spot we will be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel reservoir placed in the back of your garden full of unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several private and business premises in Aberdeenshire for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or even several drums in a storage shed, as long as we are able to reach it, we could certainly empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Newmachar (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a full Aberdeenshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to refill the car any time you are stranded on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at cost) and fill up the car. They can also deal with any of the normal issues that may come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.
