AdBlue Contamination

Throughout North Ayrshire we have identified progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination when someone has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to a degree a result of people not understanding the right way to use it (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly next to one another on the vehicle.

So, what exactly is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Additionally, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank get it drained as quickly as possible. And certainly take care not to start up the motor - not even to relocate it to a parking area. If you did start the car you will probably need to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important condition to handle in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Putting water in petrol or diesel will lead to idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied fully, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to take care of both circumstances very simply.

Keep in mind though that if ever the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter to be installed as the old one will probably be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to an automobile parking bay we are able to gain access to the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir placed at the rear of your garden containing aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several private and industrial premises in North Ayrshire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a few drums in a shed, providing we are able to access it, we can empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Beith (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a comprehensive North Ayrshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to refill your vehicle in cases where you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) and refill your automobile. They will be able to take care of any of the typical issues that can go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to start, as well as flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Beith, North Ayrshire

Wrong Fuel Beith - Beith Wrong Fuel

A motorist had conked out just near a street in Beith. His MG motor had stopped operating and he had no idea what was awry until he realised he had put unleaded in his diesel car. He contacted us to get a fuel drain and that's when he said to us: "I cannot believe that I did not detect that I had put the incorrect fuel in my car." He stated that he had got zero rest the night before and that must have been the reason.
