It was before eight pm on a Tuesday and though we were promised a rainless day, it hadn't stopped raining! Mark and I were seated commenting on the weekend's football results, ready for the seventh call for the day to come in. Eventually we received the phone call from a woman on a business expedition who had pulled into the Shell filling station in Oban and filled petrol in her diesel Lexus hire car by mistake. She was rather agitated apparently, stating "I can not believe I have ruined the vehicle! I am so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car that I totally did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I instructed her to calm down and not to be concerned, and also that these things unfortunately often happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle to a secure position and, since it was only a few miles away from us, we could arrive at her almost instantly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to go home to the hotel she was staying at. Even though we got fairly drenched, it was all worth the time seeing her drive away calm and less apprehensive. A fuel drain in Argyll and Bute done well in my opinion!

He told us; "I can't believe I put the wrong fuel in my car. And the chap who was sent to do the fuel drain was genuinely very good - he didn't make me look and feel like an idiot."

We showed up promptly, performed the drain and filled him up once more with untainted Diesel.

AdBlue In Diesel
In Argyll and Bute we are identifying more and more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is mostly caused by people not being aware of the way to to make use of (note: it's not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally right close to each other on the car.
So, exactly what is the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? As AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Also, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.
Contact us in the event that you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and have the ability to handle every type of AdBlue fluid contamination.
Water contaminated fuel
Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, can be an important matter to handle in a car - especially in modern common-rail engines. Water in diesel or petrol can certainly cause idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with effectively, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out when compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both cases fairly quickly.
Be aware though that if the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will probably be totally water-logged and unusable.
Marine Fuel Drains
If there is the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to a car parking spot we are able to gain access to the tanks and drain out the fuel. We've done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Got a fuel tank lying at the back of your garden containing aged, useless or degraded fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many domestic and commercial properties in Argyll and Bute for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages.

Wrong Fuel Assist Oban - Oban Wrong Fuel in Car
I appreciated a wonderful afternoon fishing during my off day and felt pleased the following morning as I set off to aid a young family holidaying in Oban. They had pulled over after putting the wrong fuel in their MG, and the car was around an hour away. I got there at their car and laughed to myself while I heard to the gal telling her partner off for being so daft. "Precisely how could you possibly be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she asked him. I attempted to tell her that this comes to pass on a regular basis in Argyll and Bute and that it's absolutely nothing to get worried about, even so he still got an ear bashing by his missus. I felt sorry for the lad. Anyway, I cleaned up and removed the contaminated fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave it some correct fuel. Watching as they drove down the road I mouthed good-bye and wondered what her indoors would say to me if ever I did the exact same thing... I'd never live it down!

We a few weeks ago got a call from a businessman who put the wrong fuel in his BMW in Oban. He had ground to a halt on the road. "I was surprised at how speedy you guys were in getting a technician out to assist me after I mistakenly filled my car with the wrong fuel. I'm very grateful". Of course we got there rapidly and purged the engine after draining all the wrong fuel from the diesel tank. The customer was delighted by the time we were done and he went away satisfied and content.
Wrong Fuel Drain Oban - Oban Wrong Fuel in Car
A lady from Oban with a full car of children in her diesel Toyota had filled her car with £20 of petrol at the service station. She phoned us weeping and very upset as she had never put petrol in a diesel before and did not know what might happen to her vehicle in doing so. We reassured her that the vehicle would be okay and that she would be on the road in no time at all. When we got there she was still distressed but as our engineer began work on the fuel drain she calmed down as she recognised that help was at hand and her vehicle wasn't unfixable. She soon cheered up and was up and running saying, "I just can't believe my bad luck putting petrol in my diesel car! Particularly with the kids in the back."
