It was around six pm on a Thursday and although we were assured a dry afternoon, it had not stopped raining! Mark and me were sitting talking over the weekend's rugby rankings, at the ready for the 6th job for the day to come in. Eventually we got a call from a girl on a business trip who had gone to the Tesco filling station in Tayport and filled petrol in a diesel SEAT hire car in error. The unfortunate thing was fairly irritated it seemed, telling me "I simply can't believe that I have messed up the car! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" We advised her to relax and not to be concerned, and also that things like this unfortunately do happen. She was able to maneuver the car to a secure spot and, as it was only a short distance off from where we were, we were able to get to the woman without delay. The contaminated fuel was extracted and she could return to the Travelodge she was residing in. Despite the fact that we got extremely wet, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive home relaxed and a lot less apprehensive. A fuel drain in Fife done well in my opinion!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Fife we have discovered more and more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent as a consequence of people not being aware of how to use it (important: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly near to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what exactly is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Also, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

Contact us if you are affected by AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and have the ability to attend to all kinds of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is usually a serious issue to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Water in fuel tank will likely bring about idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not remedied correctly, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out as compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both situations fairly quickly.

Bear in mind that any time the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will undoubtedly be completely wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to parking spot we should be able to access the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container laying in the rear of the garden full of aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several domestic and industrial premises in Fife to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or even a number of drums in a shed, assuming that we can get to it, we could certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Tayport (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a complete Fife Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to re-fill the car in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at cost) and fill your car or truck. They are also able to fix the usual problems which may accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or maybe flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

A man called us from Tayport saying he pumped unleaded into his diesel Renault. "I can't believe it! How could I put unleaded in my lovely diesel car!" It only took the technician roughly fifty minutes to completely drain the wrong fuel out of the car. He thoroughly cleaned the fuel system and put fresh diesel in the vehicle. The customer was very pleased and it didn't cost him dealership rates to get the work properly completed.
