It was before eight pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were promised a rainless afternoon, it had not stopped raining! Dan and I were resting there going over the sports results, at the ready for the seventh call of the day to arrive. Before long we received the phone call from a girl on a company expedition who had pulled into the Esso petrol station in West Kilbride and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Peugeot hire car by mistake. The poor lady was pretty agitated by the sounds of it, saying "I simply can't believe that I've destroyed the car! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol car I completely didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I instructed her to settle back and not to be concerned, and also that such things unfortunately often happen. She managed to move the vehicle into a secure area and, seeing as it was just a short distance away from where we were, we were able to get to the woman rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was extracted so she was able to go home to the hotel she was living at. Although we got fairly soaked, it was all rewarding to see her drive away contented and much less stressed. One more misfuel correction in North Ayrshire done well in my opinion!

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In Diesel

All over North Ayrshire we are finding more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is partly caused by drivers not being totally sure the right way to to make use of (please note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually right near to each other on the automobile.

So, what is the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing that the product is predominantly ionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Additionally, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you find yourself in this scenario don?t fret or panic! Contact us, the UK?s Number one fuel contamination service. Our experts have got the practical skills and working experience to have you back on the road rapidly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually a significant situation to deal with in an automobile - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol can cause idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed correctly, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out as compared to water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both cases pretty simply.

Take note however that if ever the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will likely be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Providing the boat is either on land, or moored near to a car or truck parking bay we will be able to gain access to the tanks and drain out the fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel container at the rear of your garden containing unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few private and commercial premises in North Ayrshire for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps numerous drums in a garage, if we are able to access it, we can certainly drain it.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in West Kilbride (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a full North Ayrshire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to refill your vehicle in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at pump prices) to fill the car. They will be able to handle the usual troubles that can go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or maybe flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel West Kilbride - West Kilbride Fuel Rescue

A customer called us from his place on a close in West Kilbride. He said, "My car (a Mitsubishi) is not starting up and is making dreadful sounds when I flip the key." He said that he put unleaded in his diesel vehicle but then imagined he would solve the issue by putting extra Diesel on top. We arrived promptly, did the drain and filled him up again with untainted Diesel. He told us that he'd be sure to tell people not to fill up on top of the incorrect fuel but to have it cleaned out promptly.
