It was after ten pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry day, it hadn't given up on raining! Dan and I were resting talking about the sports, waiting for the seventh telephone call for the day to arrive. Finally we got the call from a young lady on a company trip who had arrived at the BP petrol garage in Shotts and filled petrol in a diesel Vauxhall lease car. The unfortunate lady was somewhat troubled by the sounds of it, saying "I just can't believe that I've destroyed the car! I'm just so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle I had did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" We asked her to settle back and not to worry, and also that such things unfortunately do happen. She was able to get the car into a secure area and, seeing as it was only a few miles away from our van, we could reach the lady without delay. The incorrect fuel was extracted so she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was living in. Even though we got fairly wet, it was all rewarding seeing her drive away relaxed and less worried. A job in North Lanarkshire well done in my books!

Our Areas of Experience :

Helping you get back on the road is our primary goal.

AdBlue In Diesel

In North Lanarkshire we have discovered increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination where a person has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree a result of motorists not understanding the way to use it (remember: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly adjacent to one another on the automobile.

Well, what is the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing as the product is mostly deionised water, it is just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Furthermore, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

Whenever you find yourself in this scenario don?t fret or panic! Contact us, the UK?s Number 1 fuel contamination business. Our technicians possess the practical competence and working experience to get you back on your way quickly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is usually a significant matter to take care of in a motor vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water inside your fuel tank can potentially result in idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed correctly, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain compared to water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both circumstances very easily.

Bear in mind that as long as the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will likely be completely water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. As long as the boat is either on land, or parked near to parking bay we will be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got a fuel tank in the rear of your garden with unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few private and commercial premises in North Lanarkshire to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or possibly even some drums in a shed, as long as we are able to access it, we can empty it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Shotts (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a comprehensive North Lanarkshire Out of Fuel Service. We will come to fill up your car in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump prices) to fill your vehicle. They will handle any of the normal problems that might come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to start, as well as dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Assist Shotts - Shotts Wrong Fuel Drain

Yesterday a motorist phoned us just after his Dacia stopped working in the middle of a street in Shotts. He had accidentally put petrol in the diesel car and drove to the road before having to pull up. It was really early in the morning and our engineer, who lives close by, got to him in less than a quarter hour. We managed to take out the wrong fuel and put clean diesel once again in the vehicle. "Thank you for your fast response, especially at 2 a.m., I am grateful for it."
