It was just before seven pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry and fresh day, it hadn't ceased pouring! James and I were resting talking about the recent golf results, at the ready for the sixth job of the day to come in. Finally we got a phone call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had pulled into the Esso petrol garage in Portree and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Chevrolet rental in error. She was rather affected apparently, saying "I can't believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I am so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot I was using a diesel!" We asked her to settle back and not to worry, and also that such things unfortunately happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle to a secure space and, since it was only a few miles away from our van, we were able to get to the customer without delay. The incorrect fuel was drained so she was able to return to the motel she was residing at. Although we got pretty drenched, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive home calm and not so stressed. One more misfuel correction in Highland well done in my opinion!

Our Areas of Specialties:

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

Wrong fuel added in the tank - Petrol fuel in a diesel engine causes a lot of trouble to your engine. It may begin to cough and stall. The exhaust of your vehicle will begin to emit a lot of smoke and starting the engine is really a difficult task, especially if the engine has already cooled off. Reversing the wrong fuel, diesel in a petrol tank, the indications you will notice are similar. Either way, we will fix it for you.

Tank filled up with water - Water can contaminate your engine and it must be taken out of the fuel system in order to avoid damages and rust in your engine. Once you accelerate hard your engine, it may begin to rev up and jolt. Contamination like this is not only common in boats. This can happen to the car too because of the jerry cans that were previously used as a water container then later utilized as fuel container where water was not completely emptied.

Putting AdBlue to your fuel tank - AdBlue contamination takes place when you put AdBlue in your fuel tank, typically by mistake. It occurs when people don't appropriately understand what it's for. AdBlue is not a fuel additive, it's a liquid that minimizes harmful emissions from the exhaust, and it is supposed to go in a special tank reserved for the purpose. A lot of people have been victims of this false belief and we have resolved them easily.

Red diesel added to your tank - Per AA, there are around 1500 garages that sell red diesel. However, there are not too many outlets of this red diesel, still, accident takes place. Red diesel may come into your tank suddenly. You may not observe that you have your tank filled with red diesel as you don?t have the full attention to what you're filling.

Old Fuel in the Tank - As time passes by and your car or truck is idle for some time, the quality of your fuel degrades. This happens if the car or truck is not driven and has been on standby for a long period of time and the fuel has been in the tank unused. Your engine might start and run, but it probably won't run as well. Old fuel should be drained out, and it's a service we offer.

Wrong Fuel in Car Portree - Portree Wrong Fuel Assist

I'd had a fantastic evening cycling during the weekend and felt satisfied with myself the next working day as I was en route to aid a young family who were away in Portree. They stopped after putting diesel into their Chevrolet, and were approximately an hour away. I showed up at their location and smiled to myself while I listened to the wife telling her hubby off for being so daft. "Just how could you actually manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she asked him. I tried to tell her that this situation comes to pass continuously in Highland and that it's in reality nothing to get worried about, however he in spite of everything got an ear bashing by his better half. Unlucky chap. Anyways, I removed the wrong fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled them up with the proper fuel. While watching them drive off I mouthed farewell and thought about what my missus would say to me if I made the same error... I would personally never live it down!
