Wrong Fuel Drain Ormiston - Ormiston Vehicle Misfuel

I appreciated a wonderful afternoon golfing during my holiday and felt contented with myself the next day as I was on the way to aid a new family away in Ormiston. They'd pulled over after adding petrol into their Jaguar, and the car was about an hour's travel away. I turned up at their location and laughed to myself while I heard to the wife telling her partner off for actually being so stupid. "Just how could you actually be able to fill the car up by using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I wanted to explain that this takes place all the time in East Lothian and that it's absolutely nothing to worry about, but he still had an ear bashing. Poor lad. Anyways, I extracted all of the contaminated fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave it some appropriate fuel. As they drove off I waved farewell and wondered what her indoors would tell me if perhaps I made the very same mistake... I'd personally under no circumstances live it down!

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue Contamination

All around East Lothian we have seen progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partly as a result of people not being totally sure the right way to to make use of (important: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right adjacent to each other on the automobile.

So, precisely what is the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing that the product is predominantly ionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition to this, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In the case you put AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it immediately. And most definitely be careful not to start the motor - not even to maneuver it from the pump. In cases where you have started the car you would very likely have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important situation to handle in an automobile - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Having water in the petrol or diesel can certainly contribute to idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out correctly, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove than water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both situations rather simply.

You should know however that whenever the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. As long as the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to parking spot we can access the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Recent Fuel Drains in Ormiston

A few stories:

Now I am not actually very hot for working weekends, and last week was no different. I'd just come away from the family following a lovely Sunday roast cooked by the better half, and I was en route to help a fellow who had filled the incorrect fuel in his Ford. He was somewhere in Ormiston and so I was with him very quickly. Just as I drove up at the rear of the vehicle and got out he explained to me "Thank the Almighty! I foolishly had my mind on something else and didn't ascertain I had put diesel in my petrol car. Is it likely I brought about damage through running it?" I said there shouldn't be harm and that also I would personally get the contaminated fuel drained quickly for him. Obviously I drained the fuel from the vehicle and filled up with some appropriate fuel, and another happy motorist was able to carry on with their travelling without the need for fuss. The guy did not stop saying thanks to me, and that is exactly what makes working on Sundays in East Lothian just that tiny bit less painful for me!

Petrol in Diesel Ormiston - Ormiston Fuel Removal

A lady from Ormiston with a full car of kids in her diesel SEAT had filled her vehicle with £40 of petrol at the BP filling station. She contacted us crying and really upset as she had never filled up with the wrong fuel previously and did not know what would happen to her vehicle in doing so. We assured her that everything would be ok and that she would be back ready to go in no time at all. When we arrived on scene she was visible distressed but while our technician started work on the fuel drain she calmed down as she discovered that help was at hand and her vehicle wasn't wrecked. She soon enough cheered up and was up and running saying, "I really can't believe my luck putting petrol in my diesel car! Specifically with the little ones in the back."
