It was close to six pm on a Wednesday and even though we were guaranteed a dry evening, it hadn't stopped raining! James and I were seated discussing the recent sports rankings, at the ready for the 8th telephone call of the day to come in. Eventually we got the phone call from a lady on a company trip who had pulled into the BP filling station in Banff and filled petrol in a diesel Kia hire car in error. The unfortunate thing was somewhat affected by the sounds of it, crying "I can not believe that I have destroyed the car! I'm so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I completely didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" We advised her to settle back and not to worry, and also that these things sadly often happen. She managed to maneuver the car to a protected area and, as it was just a few minutes from where we were, we were able to reach the customer rather quickly. The bad fuel was extracted so she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was lodging at. Despite the fact we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth the time to watch her drive away relaxed and not so anxious. Yet another fuel drain in Aberdeenshire well done in my opinion!

Services We Provide:

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

AdBlue In your Fuel

What you can do in case you?ve poured Adblue in your Diesel tank? AdBlue is a chemical that?s composed of a mixture of urea (32.5%) and ionized water.It is certainly harmful to your vehicle's fuel system, especially if you run the engine with Adblue in the diesel fuel tank. As soon as the engine has been switched on the Adblue is going to be pushed into your fuel lines and will rapidly begin to crystalise, causing serious and costly damage to your car's fuel system.

If you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank remove it right away. And most definitely be careful not to switch on the vehicle - not even to relocate it to a parking spot. In the event that you did start the car you will almost certainly have to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious issue to deal with in an automobile - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Water in fuel is likely to bring about idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied effectively, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can handle both cases quite easily.

You should know however that whenever the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or situated close to a car or truck parking bay we can access the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've performed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}
