It was close to six pm on a Monday and though we were guaranteed a rainless night, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Ray and me were seated there going over the recent golf, at the ready for the sixth telephone call that day to come in. Before long we received a phone call from a young lady on a business expedition who had gone to the Tesco petrol station in Fraserburgh and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Volvo hire car in error. The poor thing was pretty affected apparently, saying "I simply can't believe I have ruined the car! I am just so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle I totally forgot that I was running a diesel!" I just instructed her to relax and not to worry, and that things like this sadly often happen. She was able to get the vehicle into a secure spot and, as it was just a short distance from us, we were able to arrive at her quickly. The bad fuel was drained so she was able to get back to the motel she was residing in. Despite the fact we got pretty soaked, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive away contented and much less anxious. Yet another misfuel correction in Aberdeenshire done well in my books!

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Aberdeenshire we are encountering a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to some extent caused by motorists being unsure of the way to use it (please note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right next to one another on the car.

So, what's the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing as the product is predominantly ionised water, it's as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water will not blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

In case you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it as quickly as possible. And obviously be careful not to start the vehicle - not even to shift it off of the pump. Assuming you did start the vehicle you may in all probability need to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant situation to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel will lead to idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out effectively, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to take care of both circumstances quite swiftly.

Keep in mind however that if the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the old one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to a vehicle parking spot we should be able to access the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have succesfully done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

We have been called out to numerous privately owned and industrial properties in Aberdeenshire for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even several containers in a garage, assuming that we can reach it, we can certainly empty it for you.
