It was after 9 pm on a Thursday and although we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it had not given up on raining! Brian and me were resting there commenting on the recent sports, waiting for the sixth job that day to arrive. Before long we got a call from a woman on a business excursion who had pulled into the BP petrol garage in Harthill and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Peugeot rental in error. The poor lady was somewhat troubled by the sounds of it, crying "I can not believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I totally did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I advised her to take it easy and not to be concerned, also that such things can happen. She managed to maneuver the car to a secure position and, seeing as it was only a short distance from where we were, we were able to get to the woman right away. The wrong fuel was extracted and she could go home to the hotel she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got pretty soaked, it was all worth it to watch her drive away calm and much less apprehensive. Yet another misfuel correction in North Lanarkshire done well in my books!

AdBlue Contamination

All over North Lanarkshire we have seen more and more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partly as a result of drivers not being totally sure the way to use it (take note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly adjacent to one another on the automobile.

So, precisely what is the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing as the product is mainly deionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Additionally, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If you put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained as quickly as possible. And most certainly be careful not to start up the engine - not even to maneuver it to a parking area. If perhaps you did start the car you will probably have to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious situation to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel tank may cause idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of correctly, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to solve both situations quite easily.

Remember however that as long as the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the previous one will be totally wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to a car parking bay we should be able to access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel reservoir lying at the rear of your garden containing aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous private and commercial properties in North Lanarkshire to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps a few drums in an outbuilding, if we are able to access it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Harthill (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a comprehensive North Lanarkshire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to refill your vehicle any time you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at pump prices) to fill your automobile. They can also handle the usual troubles which might accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to start, and even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Harthill - Harthill Wrong Fuel Assist

A customer phoned us from his place on a close in Harthill. He said, "My vehicle (a Chevrolet) is not starting up and is creating terrible noises when I turn the key." He admitted that he put unleaded in his diesel car but then believed he would remedy the problem by putting more Diesel on top. We got there quickly, carried out the drain and filled him up again with clean Diesel. He said that he'd be sure to tell people not to fill up over the incorrect fuel but to get it cleaned out promptly.
