It was around six pm on a Wednesday and even though we were assured a rainless afternoon, it had not given up on pouring! Ray and I were relaxing there commenting on the weekend's football results, prepared for the seventh call to come in. In due time we got the call from a girl on a business expedition who had gone to the Texaco petrol station in Burghead and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel BMW hire car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was quite distressed it seemed, telling me "I can not believe I've wrecked the car! I'm so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I completely didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" We told her to calm down and not to be concerned, also that things like this sadly do happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle into a protected area and, seeing that it was no more than a few miles off from our van, we were able to get to the customer right away. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could go home to the hotel she was living in. Despite the fact we got pretty drenched, it was all worth it to see her drive away satisfied and not so concerned. A job in Moray done well in my opinion!

Fuel Drain Burghead - Burghead Fuel Rescue

A person rang us from his residence on a close in Burghead. He exclaimed, "My vehicle (a Skoda) is not starting up and is creating terrible noises when I turn the ignition." He admitted that he put petrol in his diesel car however thought he would resolve the problem by putting additional Diesel on top. We got there quickly, performed the fuel drain and filled him up again with fresh Diesel. He said he would be sure to explain to people not to fill up in addition to the incorrect fuel but to have it drained promptly.

Our Services:

Here is a list of the wrong fuel services we give.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Moray we are encountering more and more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is in part a result of motorists being unsure of the right way to work with it (pay attention: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right next to each other on the car.

Now, what exactly is the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Apart from this, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If you put AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it right away. And definitely take care not to crank the car - not even to move it off of the pump. In cases where you did start the car you may in all probability have to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is certainly a significant matter to take care of in a motor vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Water in your petrol or diesel will often lead to idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed effectively, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. However we can take care of both cases fairly simply.

Take note however that so long as the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one is going to be totally water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to a car or truck parking spot we will be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel tank sitting at the back of your premises full of old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several private and commercial properties in Moray to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even a number of drums in an outbuilding, assuming that we are able to reach it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Burghead (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a complete Moray Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to fill up your automobile any time you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump price) to refill your automobile. They will be able to fix any of the typical troubles that can come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Recent Fuel Drains in Burghead

Several stories:

We carried out a wrong fuel retrieval job outside a beautiful residential home in Burghead a few weeks ago. "I had put petrol in my diesel car and managed to nearly get home when my car stopped." Our specialist went out, regardless that it was quite late at night, and completed a full fuel drain and cleanse on the Renault to everyone's satisfaction.

Petrol in Diesel Burghead - Burghead Fuel Drain

This was exactly the night shift. It was around sunrise and hardly anyone was around. It had been fairly quiet until now, and Brian and I were sitting looking through some old newspapers. This was a rare tranquil hour in Moray. Actually it was so tranquil that the moment my mobile rang it made me start! The customer explained: "I have just finished my overnight shift and stupidly put the wrong fuel in my Lexus in error". I got him to let us know where exactly the car was situated and we headed out, ending up in Burghead only half an hour later. The contaminated fuel was extracted from the vehicle and he said many thanks for arriving so fast. While we were going back to the office we spotted two women on the edge of the road who looked like they had a flat. As a result we stopped to help them change it, to their elation.
