It was close to 10 pm on a Tuesday and although we were promised a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Paul and me were resting discussing the weekend's tennis rankings, at the ready for the next telephone call of the day to arrive. Before long we received a phone call from a lady on a company expedition who had pulled into the Tesco petrol garage in Stranraer and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Ford rental car by mistake. She was fairly troubled by the sounds of it, telling me "I still can't believe I have destroyed the car! I am so used to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I totally didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I told her to calm down and not to worry, also that these things regrettably often happen. She was able to get the car into a protected spot and, since it was only a few minutes from us, we were able to get to the woman swiftly. The bad fuel was extracted and she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was residing at. Despite the fact we got really drenched, it was all rewarding seeing her drive home satisfied and less anxious. One more fuel drain in Dumfries and Galloway well done in my books!

AdBlue Contamination
In Dumfries and Galloway we are discovering a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent a result of drivers not being totally sure the way to work with it (be aware: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly near to each other on the car.
So, what is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition to this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.
Whenever you find yourself in this position don?t fret or panic! Contact us, the UK?s Number one fuel contamination business. Our engineers possess the technical competence and working experience to get you back on the road quickly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.
Water contaminated fuel
Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is petrol or diesel, is generally a significant matter to handle in a vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel tank may contribute to idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied properly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to resolve both cases fairly swiftly.
Bear in mind that any time the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and ineffective.
Motorboat Fuel Drains
If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out.

We have completed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}
