We are willing to take the wrong fuel work.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Argyll and Bute we are encountering more and more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partly as a result of motorists being unsure of the way to use it (pay attention: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what exactly is the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing that AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Apart from this, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

In the case you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And obviously do not turn over the vehicle - not even to maneuver it into a parking spot. Assuming you did start the car you may likely need to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally an important matter to deal with in a car - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Having water in petrol or diesel is likely to result in idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed properly, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove compared to water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to take care of both situations fairly easily.

Bear in mind however that whenever the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter to be installed since the old one will be completely wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to a car or truck parking bay we will be able to reach the storage and drain out the fuel. We have carried out quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel container lying at the back of your premises full of unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many privately owned and industrial premises in Argyll and Bute for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely.
