It was about 8 pm on a Friday and though we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Ray and me were seated there talking over the weekend's sports results, waiting for the 8th job for the day to come in. Before long we had the call from a lovely women on a company expedition who had gone to the Texaco filling station in Thurso and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Porsche lease car by mistake. She was quite affected by the sounds of it, telling me "I can not believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car I completely didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" We asked her to calm down and not to worry, plus that these things regrettably happen. She managed to get the vehicle into a secure position and, as it was no more than a few miles off from where we were, we could find the customer without delay. The bad fuel was removed so she could get back to the Travelodge she was lodging at. Despite the fact we got fairly soaked, it was all rewarding to see her drive off contented and less anxious. Yet another job in Highland well done in my opinion!

Our Areas of Competency :

Do you or your drivers frequently misfuel your car? We can resolve any connected issues.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Highland we are finding more and more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly a result of drivers being unsure of how to work with it (please note: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly close to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what exactly is the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Since the product is primarily deionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Furthermore, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you find yourself in this position do not fret or panic! Call us, the UK?s Number 1 fuel contamination service. Our engineers have got the specialised knowledge and experience to have you back on the road swiftly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually a serious issue to take care of in a motor vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel can potentially lead to idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not remedied fully, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to take care of both circumstances fairly quickly.

Bear in mind that whenever the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one will be completely water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Providing the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we will be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got a fuel container sitting at the rear of your premises full of old, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few domestic and business premises in Highland to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or even a few containers in an outbuilding, providing we are able to get to it, we could certainly drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Thurso (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a full Highland Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to re-fill your car if you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at pump prices) to fill up your automobile. They will be able to fix the standard problems which might go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue Thurso - Thurso Petrol in Diesel

A person contacted us from his place on a close in Thurso. He said, "My vehicle (a Lexus) is not starting up and is making terrible noises when I flip the ignition." He confessed that he had put unleaded in his diesel vehicle but then thought he would fix the problem by putting more Diesel on top. We were on scene promptly, carried out the fuel drain and filled it up again with clean Diesel. He told us he'd be sure to educate people not to fill up over the incorrect fuel but to get it cleaned out promptly.
