Helping you get back on the road is our main goal.

AdBlue In your Fuel

How to proceed in the event that you?ve poured Adblue in a Diesel fuel tank? AdBlue is a chemical made out of a blend of ionized water (67.5%) and urea (32.5%).It can be devastating to your automobile's fuel system, especially in cases where you started the car with Adblue in the diesel tank. As soon as the engine has been switched on the Adblue will undoubtedly be squirted into the fuel lines and will rapidly start to crystalise, resulting in serious and expensive damage to your automobile's fuel system.

If perhaps you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it out asap. And definitely don't start the car - not even to maneuver it off the pump. In the event that you have started the vehicle you may very likely have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is actually an important matter to handle in a car - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Having water in fuel will often contribute to idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out properly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both situations quite expediently.

Be aware though that so long as the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will likely be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked near to a motor vehicle parking bay we can access the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel container sitting at the rear of the garden with out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of domestic and commercial properties in Aberdeenshire to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps numerous containers in a shed, assuming that we are able to get to it, we could certainly empty it.

We can easily come to fill up your automobile if you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at home.
