It was around ten pm on a Tuesday and while we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Paul and I were resting commenting on the recent footy rankings, waiting around for the 8th job that day to come in. Eventually we received a call from a woman on a business expedition who had gone to the BP petrol garage in Glasgow and filled petrol in a diesel Volkswagen rental. She was very distressed it seemed, crying "I still cannot believe I have wrecked the car! I am just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I had forgot that I was running a diesel!" We asked her to relax and not to worry, plus that such things regrettably do happen. She had managed to get the vehicle into a protected area and, as it was no more than a short distance off from where we were, we were able to arrive at the lady fairly quickly. The bad fuel was taken out so she could return to the Premier Inn she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got very wet, it was all rewarding to watch her drive away satisfied and much less worried. A fuel drain in Glasgow City well done in my books!

Our Services:

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

AdBlue In Your Diesel

How to proceed in case you?ve put Adblue into a Diesel fuel tank? Adblue can be harmful to your car's fuel system, especially any time you have had the engine running with Adblue in the diesel fuel tank. Once the engine has been started the Adblue is going to be dragged into the fuel lines and will promptly begin to crystalise, triggering catastrophic and costly harm to your vehicle's fuel system.

In case you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it right away. And absolutely be careful not to crank the car - not even to shift it into a parking bay. In case you have started the vehicle you would almost certainly need to have the full fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be an important condition to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your fuel can easily contribute to idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed effectively, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain than water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to take care of both situations quite swiftly.

You should know though that in the event that the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will probably be totally wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to a motor vehicle parking bay we will be able to reach the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have carried out quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel container lying at the rear of the garden with old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few domestic and industrial premises in Glasgow City to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a few containers in a garage, as long as we can access it, we can certainly drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Glasgow (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a full Glasgow City Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to re-fill your vehicle in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) and fill up your automobile. They will fix the normal troubles that may accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to start, as well as flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Glasgow - Glasgow Fuel Drain

A man phoned us from Glasgow to state that he stupidly piped petrol in to his diesel Jaguar. "Unbelievable! How could I put unleaded in my nice diesel car!" It took our engineer approximately fifty minutes to completely drain the contaminated fuel from the car. He meticulously cleaned the fuel lines, filter and pumps and then put clean fuel in the car. The customer was very pleased and it hadn't cost him dealership prices to get the job properly done.
