It was after ten pm on a Monday and although we were assured a rainless afternoon, it had not given up on raining! Dan and I were resting there talking about the footy rankings, at the ready for the 8th call for the day to arrive. Finally we received a call from a woman on a company excursion who had arrived at the Esso filling garage in Glenrothes and put the wrong fuel in a diesel MG hire car in error. She was somewhat agitated it seemed, telling me "I cannot believe that I have messed up the car! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I completely did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I just instructed her to take it easy and not to be concerned, plus that things like this sadly often happen. She had managed to maneuver the car into a protected spot and, seeing that it was no more than a few minutes from our van, we could find the lady swiftly. The wrong fuel was removed so she was able to return to the Travelodge she was residing at. Although we got fairly wet, it was all worth the time to see her drive off relaxed and less apprehensive. A job in Fife done well in my books!

Helping you get back on the road is our number 1 goal.

Tank filled with wrong fuel - Diesel engine filled with petrol fuel is hazardous and should be given attention straight away. Your car will begin to show some signs like an abnormal amount of smoke in the exhaust. It will cough and splutter too. Not only that, starting the engine back is almost impossible once you've switched it off.

Water accidentally added in the tank - If your tank is contaminated with water, it is crucial that water has to be flushed out. Otherwise, your engine may start to rev up, splutter or jolt when you push the accelerator. This does not include your engine starting to build rust. An incident like this doesn't happen to boats only; this can happen to your car too. It must be drained out of the fuel system. Luckily we are professionals on this type of work.

AdBlue directly added to your tank - Mistakenly adding AdBlue to your tank can contaminate your fuel system. People commonly don?t have a concrete idea of what AdBlue is for. It?s not a fuel additive. It?s a liquid that helps lessen the unfavorable effect on our environment simply by reducing the emissions in the car?s exhaust. It should be added via a separate tank, not straight to the fuel tank. Should you fall victim to this contamination, let?s us do the flushing work.

Red diesel contamination - Another wrong fuel that ends up in the wrong place at the wrong time is red diesel. It enters your vehicle by your own mistake or of a gas stop worker isn't too experienced in the different types of diesel. If that happens, your vehicle will experience the same symptoms like it would with diesel petrol mix up. It will run low and coughs like a middle-aged lifelong smoker. But do not fret. Our team knows how to deal with red diesel contamination.

Old fuel unused for a long period - Another service we readily give is drainage of old fuel. People might believe that fuel can't go bad, that when stored it can last a long time on end, but that just is not true. Fuel degrades with time. The more it has degraded the more damage it can possibly cause on your engine. Don't be tricked if your car runs fine on degraded fuel. It's a disaster waiting to happen.

Wrong Fuel in Car Glenrothes - Glenrothes Fuel Removal

I'd had a great evening golfing on my day off and felt pleased the next day as I set out to assist a young couple on vacation in Glenrothes. They stopped after filling the wrong fuel in their Mitsubishi, and the car was approximately half an hour away. I showed up at their car and laughed as I heard to the girl berating her partner for being so daft. "Just how could you conceivably manage to fill the car up using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I wanted to explain that this goes on on a regular basis in Fife and that it's nothing to stress about, nonetheless he yet still had an ear bashing by his better half. Unfortunate lad. Anyways, I extracted the polluted fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled it up with the correct fuel. While they drove away I waved good bye and wondered what her indoors would say to me in the event that I did the same thing... I'd never ever live it down!
