It was about 5 pm on a Saturday and while we were guaranteed a dry night, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ryan and I were seated discussing the recent tennis, waiting for the next job for the day to come in. Eventually we received a phone call from a lady on a business trip who had arrived at the Texaco petrol station in Castle Douglas and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Audi lease car in error. She was rather troubled it seemed, saying "I can not believe I have destroyed the car! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle I totally didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" We advised her to relax and not to worry, and also that things like this sadly often happen. She managed to maneuver the car into a safe area and, seeing that it was just a short distance from us, we were able to find her rather quickly.

Our Areas of Experience :

Here is a list of the incorrect fuel services we deliver.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Dumfries and Galloway we have found a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly as a consequence of motorists not being totally sure how to to make use of (take note: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right adjacent to each other on the car.

Now, what is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If you end up in this position do not fret or panic! Contact us, the UK?s Number 1 fuel contamination company. Our technicians possess the specialised expertise and working experience to get you back on the road promptly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant matter to handle in a vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Water in fuel tank can contribute to idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of properly, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can handle both circumstances quite simply.

Keep in mind that any time the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the previous one will likely be completely wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to a motor vehicle parking bay we will be able to access the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got an old fuel reservoir laying at the rear of your garden with out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of private and commercial properties in Dumfries and Galloway to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps numerous containers in a shed, providing we are able to access it, we can certainly drain it.
