It was just before 9 pm on a Wednesday and though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it hadn't given up on raining! Ray and me were resting going over the footy results, waiting for the next job for the day to arrive. Finally we had the phone call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had pulled into the BP petrol station in Haddington and filled petrol in a diesel MINI lease car. The unfortunate lady was somewhat irritated it seemed, saying "I simply cannot believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I had didn't remember I was running a diesel!" I just asked her to calm down and not to fret, and also that such things regrettably happen. She had managed to get the car into a secure position and, seeing that it was no more than a short distance from our van, we were able to reach the woman fairly quickly. The bad fuel was drained and she could once again go back to the motel she was residing in. Even though we got extremely soaked, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive home satisfied and a lot less apprehensive. Yet another misfuel correction in East Lothian done well in my mind!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over East Lothian we are finding a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to a degree caused by drivers not knowing how to work with it (note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly close to each other on the automobile.

Now, exactly what is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Because AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

If you find yourself in this situation do not fret or panic! Contact us, the UK?s Number 1 fuel contamination business. Our engineers have the specialised expertise and experience to have you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is usually a serious matter to deal with in a car - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water in the petrol or diesel can trigger idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out fully, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of compared to water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both situations rather simply.

You should know though that in the event that the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be installed because the previous one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to a car parking bay we can reach the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We've done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel container placed in the rear of your premises full of old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of private and industrial properties in East Lothian to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered 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 a number of drums in a garage, providing we are able to reach it, we could certainly empty it.
