Listed here are our top services we deliver to our customers.
AdBlue Contamination
All around Argyll and Bute we have identified more and more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partly as a result of drivers not understanding how to work with it (be aware: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly adjacent to one another on the vehicle.
So, what's the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing as the product is mostly ionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition to this, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.
In the case you put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And most certainly don't start up the vehicle - not even to relocate it into a parking area. Assuming you did start the car you may in all likelihood need to have the whole fuel system purged and filters replaced.
Water contaminated fuel
Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually an important condition to handle in a vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Water in fuel tank can bring about idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not taken care of properly, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain than water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can handle both circumstances pretty quickly.
Take note however that if ever the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter to be installed since the old one will probably be completely wet and unusable.
Boat Fuel Drains
If you find you have the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Providing the boat is either on land, or secured near to a car parking spot we are able to gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

We've been called out to a number of privately owned and industrial properties in Argyll and Bute to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally.
