It was about 10 pm on a Thursday and although we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it hadn't ceased raining! Mark and I were resting there going over the recent footy rankings, prepared for the seventh job to arrive. Eventually we had the call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had gone to the Esso petrol station in Fairlie and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Chevrolet hire car by mistake. The poor thing was fairly distressed it seemed, saying "I can't believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I completely forgot I was driving a diesel!" I just asked her to take it easy and not to fret, plus that things like this regrettably happen. She had managed to relocate the car to a safe spot and, as it was no more than a few minutes away from the office, we were able to arrive at her almost instantly. The bad fuel was drained so she could return to the motel she was living at. Although we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth it to see her drive off contented and not so worried. One more fuel drain in North Ayrshire done well in my mind!

AdBlue In Diesel

In North Ayrshire we are encountering a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to a degree as a result of motorists not understanding the right way to work with it (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly near to each other on the automobile.

So, what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? As the product is mainly ionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Furthermore, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

Phone us in the event that you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will attend to different types of AdBlue contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's petrol or diesel, is without question a significant matter to deal with in a vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water in fuel tank can cause idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied properly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove when compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to take care of both cases rather expediently.

Bear in mind however that as long as the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one will likely be wholly water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to a vehicle parking bay we can gain access to the storage and remove the fuel. We've succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container laying at the back of your garden full of aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many domestic and commercial premises in North Ayrshire to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps some drums in an outbuilding, providing we are able to reach it, we can certainly drain it.

Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Fairlie (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a full North Ayrshire Out of Fuel Service. We will come to fill up your car any time you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at cost) to refill your car or truck.

Fuel Drain Fairlie - Fairlie Fuel Drain

A customer rang us from his home on a road in Fairlie. He pronounced, "My car (a Volvo) is not starting and is creating terrible noises when I turn the key." He admitted that he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle but then believed he would remedy the problem by putting further Diesel on top. We got there quickly, did the drain and filled him up once again with clean Diesel. He said after that he would be absolutely sure to inform people not to fill up in addition to the incorrect fuel but to get it drained immediately.
