Our Areas of Competence :

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

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Scottish Borders we have encountered a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination where someone has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is partially stemming from motorists not knowing the right way to work with it (important: it's actually not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly close to each other on the car.

Well, what is the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing that the product is primarily deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Also, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it as quickly as possible. And definitely never crank the vehicle - not even to maneuver it into a parking bay. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you will very likely need to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is definitely a significant matter to deal with in a vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel may produce idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of effectively, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both situations rather easily.

You should know however that so long as the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the previous one will probably be wholly water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to an automobile parking spot we are able to access the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We've completed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel container laying at the rear of your premises full of unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several private and commercial properties in Scottish Borders for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even numerous containers in an outbuilding, provided that we are able to access it, we could certainly drain it for you.

We will come to re-fill your car in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home.

They are also able to deal with any of the usual problems which might come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, as well as dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Peebles - Peebles Vehicle Misfuel

A gentleman contacted us from his place on a road in Peebles. He said, "My vehicle (a Mazda) is not running and is producing terrible noises when I turn the key." He admitted that he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel car but then imagined he would remedy the issue by putting further Diesel on top. We showed up promptly, carried out the fuel drain and filled him up once more with untainted Diesel. He said he'd be sure to educate people not to fill up in addition to the wrong fuel but to have it cleaned out promptly.
