It was just before ten pm on a Wednesday and even though we were assured a rainless night, it had not ceased raining! Ray and me were sitting talking over the tennis results, waiting for the 8th job of the day to come in. Finally we got a call from a girl on a business trip who had arrived at the Tesco petrol station in Wick and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Toyota rental car by mistake. She was somewhat irritated apparently, saying "I still cannot believe I have destroyed the car! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol car that I had did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" We advised her to settle back and not to be concerned, also that these things happen. She was able to get the car into a secure position and, as it was only a few miles off from where we were, we could arrive at the customer without delay. The bad fuel was removed so she could go home to the Premier Inn she was staying in. Even though we got pretty wet, it was all worth the time to watch her drive away contented and much less worried. Another misfuel correction in Highland done well in my opinion!

This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue Contamination

All around Highland we are identifying an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination when a driver has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is mainly caused by motorists not understanding the way to to make use of (note: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right next to each other on the car.

Well, what exactly is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing as the product is predominantly ionised water, it is actually just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition to this, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Contact us if you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and have the ability to fix all types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly an important issue to deal with in a car - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol is likely to contribute to idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out correctly, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain than water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can handle both cases pretty simply.

Take note that any time the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one is going to be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out.

Wrong Fuel Assist Wick - Wick Fuel Rescue

I had enjoyed a perfect evening fishing on my afternoon off and was feeling pleased the following morning as I set off to assist a young couple who were on holiday in Wick. They'd pulled over after adding petrol into their Lexus, and were approximately an hour's travel away. I showed up at their car and smirked to myself while I listened to the wife telling her hubby off for actually being so foolish. "Just how could you conceivably manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she said to him. I wanted to tell her that this problem happens all the time in Highland and that it is nothing at all to be anxious about, nonetheless he all the same got an ear bashing by his better half. Poor guy. Anyways, I removed the wrong fuel, flushed the engine and filled it up with the appropriate fuel. As they drove down the road I waved goodbye and considered what my wife would ask me if I made the same mistake... I would personally never live it down!
