Here are the top services we give to our clients.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Midlothian we are finding a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination where an individual has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mainly thanks to motorists not being aware of the way to to make use of (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly close to each other on the automobile.

Well, what exactly is the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing as the product is mainly ionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If you put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained immediately. And absolutely don't switch on the car - not even to shift it off of the pump. Assuming you have started the vehicle you would most likely have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is usually a significant situation to handle in a motor vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Having water in petrol or diesel can produce idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not dealt with properly, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can handle both cases rather expediently.

Bear in mind though that as long as the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the previous one will likely be completely wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we are able to access the storage and drain out the fuel. We've succesfully done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Fuel Drain Roslin - Roslin Fuel Drain

I'd had a great day fishing during my afternoon off and was feeling pleased with myself the next day as I set off to help a new couple who were holidaying in Roslin. They conked out after filling the wrong fuel in their Chevrolet, and were close to half an hour's drive away. I arrived at their position and smiled to myself while I heard to the woman telling her partner off for being so foolish. "How could you actually be able to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I wanted to tell her that this takes place on daily basis in Midlothian and that it is absolutely nothing to worry about, nonetheless he all the same had an earful by his missus. Unlucky lad. In any case, I extracted the contaminated fuel, flushed the motor and filled it up with the proper fuel. Watching as they drove away I shouted farewell and pondered on what her indoors would do to me if ever I made the exact same error... I would personally under no circumstances hear the end of it!
