It was after 10 pm on a Saturday and while we were promised a dry evening, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Mark and I were sitting discussing the weekend's rugby, waiting around for the next telephone call of the day to arrive. Eventually we got the call from a lovely women on a business expedition who had gone to the Tesco filling garage in Stonehouse and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Dacia rental car in error. She was rather affected by the sounds of it, stating "I simply can't believe I've ruined the vehicle! I'm just so used to putting petrol in my petrol car I completely forgot I was running a diesel!" We asked her to take it easy and not to be concerned, plus that such things unfortunately do happen. She had managed to maneuver the car into a protected spot and, seeing as it was just a short distance off from us, we were able to get to the woman rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was living at. Even though we got extremely wet, it was all rewarding to watch her drive home calm and not so apprehensive. A job in South Lanarkshire done well in my mind!

Do you or your employees often misfuel your vehicle? We can fix any related issues.

AdBlue In Diesel

How to handle it in case you have poured Adblue in a Diesel fuel tank? Adblue is certainly harmful to your car's fuel system, especially in cases where you have had the engine running with Adblue in the diesel tank. The moment the engine has been started the Adblue is going to be pushed into your fuel lines and will immediately begin to crystalise, causing serious and costly problems to your vehicle's fuel system.

In the case you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out at once. And certainly never crank the car - not even to move it from the pump. Assuming you did start the car you may in all likelihood have to have the whole fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is petrol or diesel, is actually a serious issue to address in an automobile - especially in current day common-rail engines. Having water in fuel will often result in idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied properly, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of than water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both circumstances very swiftly.

Remember that in the event that the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one is going to be wholly wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. So long as the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to parking spot we are able to gain access to the tanks and remove the fuel. We've done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

We have been called out to a number of privately owned and industrial premises in South Lanarkshire to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or even some drums in an outbuilding, providing we can access it, we can certainly empty it for you.

We're able to help to refill your car in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home.

They will be able to take care of the common problems which might accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Assist Stonehouse - Stonehouse Petrol in Diesel

A gentleman rang us from his place on a close in Stonehouse. He explained, "My car (a Mitsubishi) is not running and is making dreadful sounds when I turn the ignition." He confessed that he had put petrol in his diesel car but then thought he would remedy the problem by putting extra Diesel on top. We showed up quickly, did the drain and filled it up once more with untainted Diesel. He said that he'd be absolutely sure to explain to people not to fill up over the wrong fuel but to get it drained promptly.
