Our Areas of Competence :

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

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout East Lothian we are finding a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly as a consequence of drivers not knowing the way to work with it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right near to one another on the automobile.

So, what's the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Since AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it's almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you put AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And obviously never start up the car - not even to shift it off the pump. Assuming you have started the vehicle you will likely have to have the full fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly a significant issue to deal with in a car - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Water in fuel will likely result in idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of correctly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to solve both circumstances pretty swiftly.

Bear in mind however that whenever the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the old one will be totally wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to an automobile parking bay we will be able to gain access to the storage and remove the fuel. We've carried out many fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container sitting in the rear of your premises containing out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several privately owned and industrial premises in East Lothian to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps numerous drums in an outbuilding, providing we can get to it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) and fill your car or truck.

This was most definitely what is called an unsociable time to be on the road. It was about 3:30am and nobody was stirring. It had been rather uneventful up to now, and me and Paul were relaxing looking through a couple of old newspapers. This was an unusual peaceful moment in East Lothian. Actually it was in fact that quiet that when the telephone finally rang it made me jump! The person told me: "I have only just completed my overnight shift and incredibly put the wrong fuel in a Smart". We asked him to tell us where exactly he was and we left, getting to him in Prestonpans no more than 30 minutes later. The fuel was cleaned from the car. He thanked us profusely for coming out so quickly. As we were heading back home we spotted two girls on the edge of the street who appeared to have a flat tyre.
