It was about five pm on a Thursday and although we were assured a dry day, it hadn't stopped raining! Ray and I were resting talking over the weekend's tennis, at the ready for the next fuel drain that day to come in. Eventually we got the phone call from a girl on a company expedition who had arrived at the Tesco petrol garage in St Andrews and put petrol in her diesel BMW hire car in error. She was quite distressed apparently, stating "I still cannot believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I totally didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" I just told her to take it easy and not to be concerned, also that such things sadly happen. She managed to relocate the car into a secure area and, seeing that it was no more than a short distance off from us, we were able to reach the lady quickly. The wrong fuel was drained so she was able to return to the hotel she was staying at. Although we got thoroughly drenched, it was all rewarding to watch her drive away calm and a lot less concerned. Yet another misfuel correction in Fife done well in my mind!

Services We Offer:

This is exactly what we do best.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Fife we are identifying a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination when a driver has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent as a result of motorists not being totally sure how to to make use of (take note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly next to one another on the car.

Now, what's the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? As the product is mainly ionised water, it's like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Also, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Call us if it turns out you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to correct different types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is usually a significant matter to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel may well produce idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out effectively, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both situations pretty expediently.

Remember however that as long as the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one will likely be wholly wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or parked near to a car or truck parking bay we are able to reach the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel container at the back of your premises containing unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many domestic and commercial properties in Fife to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a number of drums in a garage, assuming that we can access it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in St Andrews (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a full Fife Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to fill up your automobile in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) and fill up your automobile. They are also able to take care of any of the typical troubles that could accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or maybe dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Fuel Drain St Andrews - St Andrews Fuel Drain

A customer had conked out off a street in St Andrews. His MG engine had stopped working and he'd no idea what was awry until eventually he realised he had put unleaded in his diesel vehicle. He called us to request a fuel drain and it was then 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 got very little sleep the evening before and that must have been the key reason why.
