AdBlue In Diesel

All around Scottish Borders we are finding a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination where a driver has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly due to people not knowing the way to to make use of (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right next to each other on the automobile.

Well, what exactly is the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Because the product is primarily deionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water don't blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Additionally, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

Any time you find yourself in this position don?t panic! Contact us, the UK?s Number one fuel contamination company. Our technicians have the practical knowledge and working experience to have you back on your way swiftly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually an important condition to deal with in an automobile - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank will often cause idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with properly, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both circumstances rather quickly.

Keep in mind though that if the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one will probably be totally water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to a vehicle parking bay we are able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel tank sitting at the rear of your garden full of out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few private and commercial properties in Scottish Borders for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even some containers in a shed, if we can get to it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Innerleithen (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a complete Scottish Borders Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to re-fill your vehicle if you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump price) and fill up your vehicle. They will handle any of the typical issues that could go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Innerleithen - Innerleithen Petrol in Diesel

A man contacted us from his residence on a street in Innerleithen. He exclaimed, "My car (a Hyundai) is not starting up and is creating dreadful sounds when I flip the key." He said that he had put unleaded in his diesel car but then believed he would remedy the problem by putting additional Diesel on top. We were on scene quickly, did the fuel drain and filled him up once more with clean Diesel. He said that he'd be sure to educate people not to fill up in addition to the incorrect fuel but to get it drained right away.

Recent Fuel Drains in Innerleithen

Common fuel drain examples in Innerleithen:

Now I am not ever too excited about doing work on Sundays, and last week was no different. I had just departed home after eating a magnificent Sunday roast made for us by the wife, and I was on the way to sort out a man after he filled the incorrect fuel in his Audi. He was only in Innerleithen hence I arrived with him rapidly. As I pulled up at the rear of the vehicle and started work he said to me "Praise the Almighty! I foolishly had my concentration on stuff and failed to grasp that I've put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. Is it likely I created any kind of problems simply by running it?" I explained that there shouldn't be any kind of damage and also that I'd personally remove the contaminated fuel as soon as possible. Needless to say I got the contaminated fuel drained from the vehicle and filled up with some correct fuel, and thus one more content customer was able to carry on with their ride without the bother. The man did not stop saying thanks to me, and this can make earning a living on weekends in Scottish Borders that little bit easier in my opinion!

Fuel Drain Innerleithen - Innerleithen Fuel Rescue

A motorist driving in Innerleithen called us as soon as she managed to get her wrong fuelled car to the office. She had put the wrong fuel in her diesel Mitsubishi and, like many people prior to her, believed that she would be able to simply fill up her vehicle with diesel and it'd run no problem. The car was coughing and then it stopped when she came to the entrance of her office. We soon started on the fuel drain following her call and had it fixed inside 60 minutes while she was at the office. She came out afterwards and thanked us stating, "I'm very glad you sorted my car."
