This is exactly what we do best.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Dumfries and Galloway we have seen increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is in part stemming from motorists being unsure of how to use it (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right next to one another on the vehicle.

So, what exactly is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? As the product is mainly deionised water, it is just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Additionally, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

If you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And obviously never start the motor - not even to move it from the pump. In case you have started the vehicle you will very likely need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually an important issue to address in a vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel will likely trigger idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed fully, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to drain than water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can handle both situations very swiftly.

Take note though that if the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one will undoubtedly be wholly wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or situated near to a car parking bay we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir laying in the back of your garden containing old, unusable or degraded fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous privately owned and industrial premises in Dumfries and Galloway for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or even numerous drums in a shed, if we are able to get to it, we are able to empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Dumfries (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a comprehensive Dumfries and Galloway Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to re-fill your car any time you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump price) and fill up your car or truck. They will handle any of the standard problems which may go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, as well as dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Dumfries - Dumfries Fuel Drain

A gentleman had broken down off a street in Dumfries. His Jaguar engine had ceased running and he had no clue what was faulty until eventually he noticed he put unleaded in his diesel car. He phoned us to get a fuel drain and that's when he informed us: "I can not believe that I did not detect that I put the incorrect fuel in my vehicle." He claimed that he had gotten no sleep the night before and that must have been the reason why.
