It was close to ten pm on a Thursday and even though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh night, it hadn't stopped pouring! Paul and me were sitting there going over the recent sports, ready for the 6th fuel drain to come in. Eventually we received the phone call from a young lady on a business expedition who had pulled into the Texaco petrol station in Portlethen and put petrol in her diesel Skoda hire car in error. She was somewhat irritated it seemed, telling me "I can not believe I have ruined the vehicle! I am so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I completely forgot that I was operating a diesel!" I just instructed her to calm down and not to fret, and that things like this happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle into a safe position and, seeing that it was no more than a short distance away from us, we were able to reach her quickly. The contaminated fuel was removed and she was able to return to the hotel she was staying at. Although we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth the effort to see her drive home satisfied and much less anxious. One more fuel drain in Aberdeenshire done well in my books!

Fuel Drain Portlethen - Portlethen Petrol in Diesel
I had enjoyed a perfect evening golfing on my afternoon off and felt pleased the following day as I was on the way to aid a new couple who were on holiday in Portlethen. They had pulled over after adding diesel in their Land Rover, and were approximately half an hour away. I emerged at their location and smiled while I listened to the girl berating her hubby for actually being so confused. "Just how could you conceivably be able to fill the vehicle up with the wrong fuel?" she told him. I wanted to clarify that this kind of thing happens regularly in Aberdeenshire and that it's nothing at all to be anxious about, and yet he yet still got an earful. Unfortunate lad. At any rate, I extracted all of the contaminated fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled it up with the appropriate fuel. As they drove off I shouted so long and thought about what my wife would ask me if perhaps I did the exact same thing... I would never ever live it down!

Here's a list of the wrong fuel services we provide.
AdBlue In Your Diesel
All over Aberdeenshire we have noticed a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a person has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly due to people being unsure of the way to to make use of (important: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right near to each other on the automobile.
Now, exactly what is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Because AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.
Assuming you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained at once. And of course take care not to start the vehicle - not even to move it away from the pump. In the event that you have started the vehicle you may very likely need to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.
Water contaminated fuel
Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded or diesel, tends to be a serious condition to deal with in a vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel will likely cause idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed fully, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both situations very expediently.
Take note that as long as the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one is going to be wholly wet and useless.
Motorboat Fuel Drains
If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to a car or truck parking spot we should be able to gain access to the storage and drain out the fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}
Disposal of Waste Fuel
Have an old fuel tank lying in the rear of the garden containing out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many private and commercial properties in Aberdeenshire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a number of drums in a shed, providing we are able to access it, we can empty it for you.
Out of Fuel Support
Out of fuel in Portlethen (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a full Aberdeenshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to refill the car in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump price) to fill your car or truck. They will be able to fix the most common problems which might come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, as well as dead batteries because of over-cranking.
Fuel Drain Portlethen - Portlethen Wrong Fuel in Car
I appreciated a terrific afternoon fishing during the weekend and felt pleased with myself the next day as I set off to assist a young family who were away in Portlethen. They'd stopped after filling petrol in their BMW, and they were about half an hour away. I turned up at their location and laughed to myself while I heard to the girl chastising her man for turning out to be so stupid. "How could you conceivably find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she said to him. I attempted to clarify that this situation takes place regularly in Aberdeenshire and that it's truly absolutely nothing to fret about, but he yet still got his ear bent. Unlucky guy. In any case, I extracted the polluted fuel, flushed the motor and gave them some correct fuel. Watching them drive away I shouted hasta la vista and considered what my wife would say to me in the event that I made the very same mistake... I would personally never hear the end of it!

We fairly recently received a phone call from a motorist who had put the incorrect fuel in his Mazda in Portlethen. He had broken down on the road. "After inserting unleaded in my diesel car I didn't recognise the predicament until I broke down. You took the wrong fuel from my car and got it running again. I was happy as a result of both how swift you were and your rates". Obviously we arrived promptly and flushed the engine after draining all of the wrong fuel from the diesel tank.

It truly was what we call an unsociable time to be awake. It was around dawn and nobody was about. It was quite uneventful thus far, and me and Ryan were sitting perusing a number of old papers. It was a rare tranquil time in Aberdeenshire. It was indeed that calm that when the telephone finally rang it made me jump! The motorist explained: "I have finished my evening shift and stupidly put the wrong fuel in the SEAT by mistake". We told him to tell us exactly where the car was located and we hit the road, getting to him in Portlethen not as much as half an hour later. The contaminated fuel was removed from the vehicle. He said thanks a lot for coming so quickly. As we were heading back home we saw two young women on the side of the street who looked like they had a flat tyre. As a result we pulled up to change it, to their elation.
