It was about 8 pm on a Friday and although we were promised a dry and fresh day, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! James and me were relaxing talking about the recent football, prepared for the next job for the day to arrive. In due time we had a phone call from a girl on a business excursion who had gone to the Sainsburys filling garage in Bathgate and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Vauxhall rental by mistake. The poor thing was very agitated by the sounds of it, telling me "I can not believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I'm so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I completely did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" We asked her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and that such things unfortunately happen. She had managed to move the vehicle into a secure area and, because it was only a few minutes off from our van, we could reach the customer rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was taken out and she was able to return to the motel she was residing in. Despite the fact that we got pretty soaked, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive away contented and less apprehensive. Another misfuel correction in West Lothian done well in my books!

Fuel Drain Bathgate - Bathgate Vehicle Misfuel
What a great night of sleep! 7:30 am on a sunny Tuesday and I was off to help an old lady after she had put petrol in her diesel Audi in Bathgate. I had been told she had left the filling station forecourt and was broken down on a rural road en route to visit her grandchildren. I got the location punched straight into the TomTom and was on-scene within an hour. I got to the destination and removed the contaminated fuel from the vehicle. While I was doing the work she told me, "I'm becoming somewhat absent-minded in my senior years and did not remember about the car working with diesel since I'd only purchased it a few days back because my old one, which I used for in excess of twenty years, inevitably broke down". I completed the drain and she gave me a toffee and said thank you. Such a precious West Lothian woman!

Our Areas of Experience :
Here are the top services we give to our customers.
AdBlue In Your Diesel
What you can do if you have poured Adblue into your Diesel fuel tank? Adblue tends to be disastrous to your car's fuel system, particularly if you run the engine with Adblue in your fuel tank. Once the engine has been started up the Adblue is going to be dragged into your fuel lines and will rapidly start to crystalise, resulting in disastrous and expensive harm to your vehicle's fuel system.
In the event that you find yourself in this predicament don?t panic! Call us, the UK?s Premium fuel contamination service. Our engineers have the specialised knowledge and experience to get you back on the road promptly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.
Water contaminated fuel
Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant issue to address in a vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel is going to cause idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not sorted out effectively, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove than water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to handle both cases fairly simply.
Take note however that if the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the previous one will undoubtedly be totally wet and useless.
Motorboat Fuel Drains
If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to a vehicle parking spot we can access the storage and drain out the fuel. We've undertaken numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

We've been called out to many privately owned and business premises in West Lothian to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally.

Recent Fuel Drains in Bathgate
Some of the more routine things we hear from our technicians in Bathgate:
I wouldn't like breaking down in a vehicle full of the improper fuel halfway down the street. One of our most recent customers who filled her diesel car with petrol (Citroen) in Bathgate had exactly that kind of nightmare: "Obviously I foolishly put petrol in my diesel car last week. I was so distressed about contaminating my fuel that I was actually in tears. However I shouldn't have concerned myself simply because you were terrific in sorting the problem out."
Wrong Fuel Drain Bathgate - Bathgate Petrol in Diesel
A woman from Bathgate with a full car of little ones in her diesel Dacia had put £30 of petrol at the Co Op station. She contacted us weeping and really worried as she had never put petrol in a diesel previously and didn't know what could happen to her car in doing so. We told her that the car would be fine and that she would be on the road in no time at all. When we arrived she was visible upset but as our fuel drainer got to work on the fuel drain she simmered down because she saw that help was at hand and her vehicle wasn't unfixable. She soon cheered up and was up and running saying, "I just can't believe my misfortune putting petrol in my diesel vehicle! Especially with the little ones in the back."
