Our Areas of Expertise:

We are ready to take the wrong fuel work.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Stirling we are encountering progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to a degree as a result of drivers not knowing how to use it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly near to one another on the automobile.

So, what is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing as the product is predominantly deionised water, it is almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Additionally, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

In case you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it immediately. And of course do not switch on the car - not even to move it into a parking spot. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you may in all likelihood need to have the complete fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, can be a serious situation to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Having water in petrol or diesel will often bring about idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied fully, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to take care of both circumstances very expediently.

Remember though that in the event that the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will be wholly wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Providing the boat is either on land, or moored near to a vehicle parking spot we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have succesfully done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel reservoir sitting in the rear of your premises with out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of domestic and industrial premises in Stirling to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a number of containers in an outbuilding, providing we can get to it, we can drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Callander (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a complete Stirling Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to re-fill your automobile in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) and refill your car or truck. They can also fix any of the most common issues which could accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, and even flat batteries caused by over-cranking.
