It was about ten pm on a Wednesday and though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it hadn't given up on pouring! Ryan and me were sitting discussing the weekend's footy results, at the ready for the sixth telephone call for the day to arrive. Finally we received the phone call from a woman on a business excursion who had arrived at the Tesco filling station in Roslin and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Smart rental in error. She was rather agitated apparently, telling me "I still can't believe that I've destroyed the car! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I completely forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I asked her to calm down and not to be concerned, also that such things unfortunately can happen. She had managed to move the vehicle to a protected area and, seeing that it was only a few miles from the office, we could reach the customer fairly quickly. The bad fuel was removed so she could return to the hotel she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive off calm and a lot less stressed. One more misfuel correction in Midlothian well done in my opinion!

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Midlothian we are discovering more and more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent a result of drivers being unsure of the right way to to make use of (please note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right next to one another on the vehicle.

Now, exactly what is the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Since AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Apart from this, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

In the case you put AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it as soon as possible. And certainly take care not to crank the motor - not even to move it into a parking bay. If you have started the car you will very likely need to have the full fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant situation to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Water inside your diesel or petrol will often cause idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of effectively, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to clean out compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both situations quite quickly.

Take note that so long as the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will likely be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or parked close to parking bay we are able to reach the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've carried out many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel container in the rear of your premises containing old, useless or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of private and industrial premises in Midlothian to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a few containers in a shed, assuming that we can reach it, we can certainly drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Roslin (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a comprehensive Midlothian Out of Fuel Service. We can help to re-fill your automobile any time you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) to fill up your automobile. They are also able to handle the normal troubles that might go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or maybe flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Roslin - Roslin Wrong Fuel Drain

A gentleman had stopped near a road in Roslin. His Citroen motor had ceased working and he'd no clue what was the problem till he realised he had put petrol in his diesel vehicle. He phoned us to request a fuel drain and that is when he said to us: "I can not believe that I did not realise that I had put the incorrect fuel in my car." He stated that he had gotten very little rest the night before and that must have been the reason.
