It was just after eight pm on a Saturday and even though we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it had not stopped raining! Ryan and me were seated there talking over the golf, at the ready for the 8th call for the day to arrive. Before long we got a phone call from a woman on a company trip who had gone to the Tesco petrol station in Prestonpans and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel SEAT hire car. She was fairly distressed it seemed, stating "I still can't believe that I've ruined the car! I'm just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car that I completely didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" We asked her to relax and not to be concerned, plus that things like this regrettably do happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle to a secure area and, seeing as it was only a few miles away from the office, we were able to find the lady quickly. The wrong fuel was extracted and she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was residing at. Although we got very wet, it was all worth it to watch her drive home satisfied and not so worried. Yet another job in East Lothian done well in my opinion!

Here's a list of the wrong fuel services we deliver.
AdBlue In your Fuel
All around East Lothian we are noticing more and more cases of AdBlue contamination when a driver has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly due to drivers not being aware of how to to make use of (please note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly next to each other on the automobile.
Now, what's the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Because AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.
Contact us in the event that you are suffering from AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can handle every type of AdBlue contamination.
Water contaminated fuel
Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, tends to be an important situation to handle in a car - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel tank is going to result in idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed correctly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove when compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to handle both situations pretty swiftly.
Take note that in the event that the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the old one will be thoroughly wet and unusable.
Motorboat Fuel Drains
If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or parked near to a car parking bay we can gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}
Waste Fuel Disposal
Have an old fuel reservoir in the rear of your premises full of old, useless or degraded fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of private and business properties in East Lothian to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps several containers in an outbuilding, if we are able to reach it, we can certainly drain it.
Out of Fuel Assistance
Run out of fuel in Prestonpans (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a comprehensive East Lothian Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to refill your automobile in the event that you are having difficulty 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 (at pump prices) and fill up your automobile. They can also take care of the common troubles that may go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or maybe dead batteries because of over-cranking.
Fuel Removal Prestonpans - Prestonpans Vehicle Misfuel
I'd had a perfect evening fishing on my off day and felt contented with myself the next working day as I set out to help a young family who were on holiday in Prestonpans. They'd broken down after inserting the wrong fuel into their Land Rover, and were roughly half an hour's drive away. I showed up at their position and smiled to myself while I listened to the girl telling her partner off for turning out to be so daft. "Exactly how could you actually be able to fill the car up with the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I tried to tell her that this occurs on a regular basis in East Lothian and that it's nothing at all to be anxious about, and yet he still got an earful by his missus. Poor lad. At any rate, I extracted all of the contaminated fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled them up with the correct fuel. While watching them drive down the road I waved goodbye and pondered on what her indoors would tell me if ever I did the same thing... I would never live it down!
Recent Fuel Drains in Prestonpans
Reports from our Prestonpans mechanics:
It can't be fun breaking down in a car filled with the wrong fuel in the middle of the road. Recently a customer who filled up her tank with the wrong fuel (Citroen) in Prestonpans encountered exactly that issue: "As you know I wrongly put unleaded in my diesel car a few days ago. I was so troubled about it that I was in tears. However I needn't have worried seeing as you were outstanding in dealing with the problem."
Vehicle Misfuel Prestonpans - Prestonpans Vehicle Misfuel
A young lady living in Prestonpans contacted us as soon as she had tried to get her wrong fuelled vehicle to the office. She had put petrol in her diesel Honda and, like countless before her, imagined that she could simply fill up the vehicle with diesel and it'd run okay. The vehicle was coughing and then it died when she arrived at the entrance of her work. We immediately started on the fuel drain following her call and had it fixed inside 60 minutes while she was in the office. She came outside when we finished and thanked us stating, "I'm extremely happy you repaired my car."
Vehicle Misfuel Prestonpans - Prestonpans Vehicle Misfuel
A customer had conked out just off a street in Prestonpans. His SEAT motor had stopped operating and he'd no idea what was wrong right up until he realised he put petrol in his diesel vehicle. He phoned us to get a fuel drain and it was then when he explained to us: "I can not believe that I did not comprehend that I had put the incorrect fuel in my car." He said that he had got zero rest the day before and that could have been the reason why.
