It was before 6 pm on a Friday and although we were assured a dry and fresh day, it hadn't ceased pouring! James and me were relaxing there talking over the footy results, ready for the sixth job that day to arrive. In due time we received the call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had pulled into the Tesco filling station in Anstruther and Cellardyke and put petrol in a diesel Citroen hire car. The unfortunate lady was quite troubled it seemed, saying "I simply cannot believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car that I had forgot I was using a diesel!" I instructed her to relax and not to worry, also that things like this regrettably do happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle into a secure position and, because it was no more than a few minutes off from where we were, we could find the customer rather quickly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was living at. Despite the fact that we got very soaked, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive home relaxed and less stressed. One more job in Fife well done in my books!

We are all set to take the wrong fuel job.

AdBlue In Diesel

What to do in case you may have poured Adblue into your Diesel fuel tank? Adblue is certainly harmful to your vehicle's fuel system, particularly any time you started the car with Adblue in your fuel tank. Whenever the engine has been switched on the Adblue will undoubtedly be squirted into your fuel lines and will quickly start to crystalise, causing devastating and expensive problems to your car's fuel system.

If you find you put AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And certainly don't turn over the motor - not even to maneuver it from the pump. In the event that you have started the car you would most likely need to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a serious situation to handle in a car - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Having water inside your diesel or petrol can potentially result in idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not taken care of correctly, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both situations pretty simply.

Take note though that as long as the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter to be installed because the old one will likely be wholly wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to a vehicle parking bay we can gain access to the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel reservoir laying at the back of the garden containing out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to numerous privately owned and business premises in Fife to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps numerous containers in a shed, provided that we can get to it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Anstruther and Cellardyke (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a comprehensive Fife Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to fill up your automobile in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at pump price) and fill your car or truck. They can also handle any of the common problems which can accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as dead batteries due to over-cranking.

Fuel Removal Anstruther and Cellardyke - Anstruther and Cellardyke Wrong Fuel Drain

A gentleman called us from his home on a close in Anstruther and Cellardyke. He explained, "My vehicle (a Peugeot) is not starting and is making terrible sounds when I flip the key." He said that he had put petrol in his diesel car but then imagined he would fix the issue by putting additional Diesel on top. We arrived promptly, performed the fuel drain and filled it up once more with fresh Diesel. He said after that he would be absolutely sure to inform people not to fill up over the wrong fuel but to get it cleaned out right away.
