It was after 10 pm on a Saturday and even though we were assured a rainless night, it hadn't stopped raining! Dan and me were sitting discussing the recent football results, waiting for the next fuel drain for the day to come in. Finally we had a call from a girl on a business expedition who had gone to the Sainsburys filling station in Newmachar and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Citroen lease car. She was very affected by the sounds of it, stating "I can't believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I am so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot I was running a diesel!" I just advised her to settle back and not to be concerned, plus that these things regrettably often happen. She had managed to move the car to a protected space and, seeing that it was only a few minutes off from us, we could reach the woman without delay. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was staying at. Even though we got pretty drenched, it was all rewarding to see her drive home satisfied and much less worried. Yet another misfuel correction in Aberdeenshire well done in my opinion!

Do you or your employees often misfuel your car? We can resolve any associated problems.

AdBlue Contamination

All around Aberdeenshire we are noticing progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination when an individual has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part stemming from people not knowing the right way to work with it (take note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what exactly is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Since the product is predominantly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water don't mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Also, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

In case you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it immediately. And of course never start up the motor - not even to move it to a parking area. Assuming you did start the vehicle you will most likely have to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is usually a serious matter to handle in a car - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel is likely to bring about idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed properly, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to handle both circumstances fairly swiftly.

Keep in mind however that so long as the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one will be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. As long as the boat is either on land, or situated close to a vehicle parking bay we will be able to access the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We've carried out numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir at the back of your premises full of aged, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and business properties in Aberdeenshire to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even several drums in a garage, providing we can get to it, we can empty it.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Newmachar (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a comprehensive Aberdeenshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to refill your car any time you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) and fill your car or truck. They will fix the usual troubles that may go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, as well as flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Newmachar - Newmachar Wrong Fuel Drain

A man called us from his residence on a street in Newmachar. He explained, "My vehicle (a Kia) is not starting and is producing awful sounds when I turn the key." He said that he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel car but then thought he would remedy the problem by putting more Diesel on top. We got there quickly, carried out the drain and filled it up once again with untainted Diesel. He said after that he'd be absolutely sure to advise people not to fill up over the wrong fuel but to have it drained immediately.
