Local Call-Out and Roadside Wrong Fuel Repair in Dundee

Incorrect fuel in your car in Dundee? You've come to the right place. We are here to assist you in this time of need and get you going again with our specialist fuel drain services.

It was after 9 pm on a Saturday and although we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Ryan and me were resting talking about the weekend's footy rankings, at the ready for the seventh call for the day to come in. Eventually we got the phone call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had pulled into the Shell petrol garage in Dundee and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Audi rental car. The unfortunate thing was rather affected it seemed, telling me "I cannot believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol car I had didn't remember I was running a diesel!" I asked her to calm down and not to worry, also that these things unfortunately do happen. She had managed to move the car to a protected area and, as it was no more than a few miles off from where we were, we were able to get to the woman rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was drained so she could go home to the Premier Inn she was living at. Although we got fairly wet, it was all worth the time to watch her drive home calm and much less anxious. A job in Dundee City well done in my mind!

AdBlue Contamination

All over Dundee City we are finding a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent thanks to people not understanding how to use it (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly near to each other on the automobile.

Well, what exactly is the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing that the product is primarily ionised water, it is as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

In the case you put AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it as quickly as possible. And most certainly don't start the engine - not even to move it into a parking place. In case you have started the car you may almost certainly need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is actually a significant matter to address in a motor vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel is going to produce idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of effectively, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove in comparison with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both situations very easily.

Bear in mind however that any time the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to parking bay we should be able to access the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel tank placed at the back of the garden full of old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many private and industrial properties in Dundee City to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or even several drums in a shed, as long as we can reach it, we can empty it.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Dundee (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a comprehensive Dundee City Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to re-fill the car in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at cost) to fill up your automobile. They can also handle any of the usual problems which can go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to start, and even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Dundee - Dundee Wrong Fuel Doctor

The other day a youngster contacted us just after his Nissan broke down on a street in Dundee. He had unintentionally put unleaded in the diesel motor and got as far as the road before needing to halt. It was yet early in the day and our technical engineer, who lives nearby, got to him in approximately fifteen minutes. We managed to take out the wrong fuel and put clean diesel once again into the vehicle. "Sincere kudos to you for your fast response, particularly at 1 a.m., I appreciate it."
