It was after seven pm on a Friday and although we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Brian and I were resting there commenting on the recent footy results, at the ready for the next telephone call that day to come in. Eventually we got the phone call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had pulled into the Sainsburys filling garage in Carluke and put petrol in a diesel BMW rental. The poor thing was rather troubled by the sounds of it, crying "I still can't believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm so used to putting petrol in my petrol car that I had didn't remember I was running a diesel!" We instructed her to relax and not to be concerned, plus that these things unfortunately often happen. She managed to relocate the car to a secure spot and, seeing as it was no more than a few minutes from our van, we were able to get to the customer right away. The bad fuel was drained so she could get back to the motel she was living in. Even though we got fairly drenched, it was all rewarding seeing her drive away satisfied and less anxious. Yet another fuel drain in South Lanarkshire done well in my opinion!

AdBlue In Diesel

In South Lanarkshire we have discovered more and more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly as a consequence of motorists not understanding the right way to use it (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing that the product is primarily deionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Whenever you discover youself to be in this situation don?t panic! Contact us, the UK?s Best fuel contamination service. Our technicians have the specialised knowledge and working experience to have you back on your way promptly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant condition to deal with in a car - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel is going to produce idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not addressed correctly, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain when compared with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can handle both situations rather expediently.

You should know that as long as the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the previous one is going to be wholly wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to parking bay we should be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel reservoir sitting in the rear of your garden containing aged, useless or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several domestic and industrial properties in South Lanarkshire to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps a few drums in a shed, if we can access it, we can drain it for you.

Out of fuel in Carluke (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a complete South Lanarkshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to fill up your vehicle any time you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home.
