Our Fields of Expertise: Services We Provide:

Listed here are our top services we give to our customers.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Scottish Borders we are identifying a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is in part due to people being unsure of the right way to work with it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly next to one another on the vehicle.

Now, exactly what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing as the product is predominantly deionised water, it is as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water will not blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Moreover, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it as soon as possible. And absolutely be careful not to start up the vehicle - not even to shift it to a parking spot. Assuming you did start the vehicle you would in all likelihood have to have the full fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is actually an important matter to deal with in a vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Having water in your petrol or diesel will often cause idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not sorted out properly, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain when compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can take care of both situations quite swiftly.

Bear in mind though that any time the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the old one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to a car parking bay we will be able to access the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel container sitting at the rear of the garden containing aged, useless or degraded fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous privately owned and business properties in Scottish Borders to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or even some containers in a storage shed, provided that we can get to it, we can drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Galashiels (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a full Scottish Borders Run Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to fill up the car in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump price) to fill up your car or truck. They will be able to take care of the normal problems which can go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to start, and even dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Galashiels - Galashiels Wrong Fuel Assist

I had a wonderful day hiking on the weekend and felt contented the next day as I was en route to assist a new family who were on vacation in Galashiels. They'd conked out after filling diesel into their Mitsubishi, and the car was approximately an hour's travel away. I arrived at their car and laughed as I heard to the lady telling her spouse off for being so confused. "Just how could you possibly find a way to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she asked him. I attempted to tell her that this situation occurs frequently in Scottish Borders and that it's actually nothing to get worried about, and yet he yet still got an earful. Poor boy. Anyways, I removed the wrong fuel, flushed the engine and filled it up with the correct fuel. Watching while they drove off I mouthed good-bye and considered what her indoors would do to me if perhaps I made the same error... I'd personally never hear the end of it!
