Do you or your employees frequently misfuel your car? We can resolve any associated problems.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Glasgow City we are discovering an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination where an individual has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is partly as a result of drivers not knowing how to work with it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly close to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what's the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? As the product is primarily deionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Additionally, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

In the case you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it at once. And most certainly be careful not to turn over the vehicle - not even to move it to a parking bay. If you did start the car you would in all probability have to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a serious matter to address in a vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel tank will likely produce idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not taken care of fully, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain compared to water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both circumstances quite swiftly.

Keep in mind though that as long as the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or secured near to a car or truck parking spot we are able to reach the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got an old fuel tank sitting at the back of your premises with unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many domestic and commercial properties in Glasgow City to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a number of drums in a shed, if we can reach it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Glasgow (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a full Glasgow City Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to refill the car in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at pump price) to fill up your car. They can also handle any of the standard troubles which might accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or even dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Glasgow - Glasgow Wrong Fuel in Car

A gentleman had broken down off a street in Glasgow. His Mercedes motor had ceased operating and he had no idea what was faulty till he noticed he put petrol in his diesel vehicle. He phoned us to get a fuel drain and it was then when he explained to us: "I can't believe that I didn't know that I had put the wrong fuel in my vehicle." He claimed that he had got zero rest the day before and that must have been the key reason why.
