It was around 8 pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry and fresh day, it had not ceased pouring! Dan and I were sitting there talking over the recent rugby, waiting around for the seventh job for the day to come in. Finally we got the phone call from a woman on a company excursion who had pulled into the BP filling garage in Edinburgh and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Mazda rental. She was very affected apparently, telling me "I still can't believe that I have ruined the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car I had forgot I was operating a diesel!" I asked her to take it easy and not to worry, plus that these things often happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle to a safe space and, seeing as it was just a few minutes away from the office, we were able to reach the woman almost instantly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could return to the Premier Inn she was lodging at. Although we got fairly drenched, it was all worth the effort to see her drive off satisfied and not so stressed. Another misfuel correction in City of Edinburgh well done in my opinion!

Services We Offer:
Here's a list of the wrong fuel services we offer.
AdBlue In Diesel
All over City of Edinburgh we have identified a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination where a driver has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent a result of people being unsure of how to use it (pay attention: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right close to each other on the car.
Now, what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing as AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it's 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 is not going to work. Furthermore, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.
Give us a call in the event that you are suffering from AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and are able to take care of different types of AdBlue fluid contamination.
Fuel contaminated with water
Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant situation to take care of in an automobile - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel is going to cause idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of fully, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of than water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both cases rather quickly.
Be aware that in the event that the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one is going to be wholly water-logged and useless.
Motorboat Fuel Drains
If you've got the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to a vehicle parking spot we will be able to access the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}
Waste Fuel Management
Have a fuel tank laying in the rear of the garden containing aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several domestic and commercial properties in City of Edinburgh to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a few containers in a garage, if we can reach it, we are able to drain it for you.
Run Out of Fuel Support
Run out of fuel in Edinburgh (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a comprehensive City of Edinburgh Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to fill up your automobile if you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at pump price) to fill your vehicle. They are also able to deal with any of the typical issues that may come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or maybe flat batteries due to over-cranking.

A few reviews:
We a few weeks ago got a call from a motorist who had put the incorrect fuel in his Mercedes in Edinburgh. He had ground to a halt on the street. "It was amazing how speedy you people were in sending somebody out to aid me when I stupidly put the wrong fuel in my. Thanks". Naturally we were on-scene promptly and flushed the engine after draining all the petrol from the diesel tank.

A motorist who had unfortunately put the wrong fuel in his diesel Honda contacted us for help at the Tesco petrol filling station in Edinburgh. He had decided to top up before proceeding on to the nearby recreation park but had put the wrong fuel in his car.
