It was before 7 pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry and fresh day, it had not stopped raining! James and I were resting there going over the weekend's footy rankings, waiting around for the 8th telephone call to arrive. Inevitably we received a phone call from a young lady on a company excursion who had arrived at the Esso filling station in Lesmahagow and put petrol in her diesel Skoda rental in error. She was very agitated it seemed, stating "I still cannot believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to filling up my petrol car I had didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just advised her to settle back and not to worry, and that such things sadly can happen. She managed to get the vehicle to a secure area and, as it was no more than a few minutes off from where we were, we were able to find the lady right away. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could return to the Travelodge she was living at. Despite the fact that we got extremely wet, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive away contented and a lot less worried. Another job in South Lanarkshire done well in my opinion!

AdBlue In your Fuel

In South Lanarkshire we have seen an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination where a person has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly caused by motorists not understanding how to work with it (note: it's not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly near to one another on the automobile.

So, exactly what is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Because the product is mainly ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't mix 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 pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Should you get in this position don?t panic! Call us, the UK?s Number 1 fuel contamination service. Our engineers have the practical competence and working experience to get you back on the road quickly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually a significant issue to deal with in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Water inside your diesel or petrol can bring about idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out effectively, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to handle both circumstances pretty simply.

Be aware that if ever the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will probably be wholly wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we can reach the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank sitting in the back of the garden containing aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several private and commercial premises in South Lanarkshire to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a number of containers in a garage, provided that we are able to get to it, we can empty it.

Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Lesmahagow (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a comprehensive South Lanarkshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to re-fill the car in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at pump prices) to fill your automobile. They will take care of the normal troubles that can accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Lesmahagow - Lesmahagow Vehicle Misfuel

A person called us from his home on a street in Lesmahagow. He exclaimed, "My vehicle (a Mazda) is not running and is making very bad sounds when I flip the key." He said that he put the wrong fuel in his diesel car but then imagined he would remedy the problem by putting extra Diesel on top. We showed up promptly, performed the fuel drain and filled him up once again with clean Diesel. He said that he would be certain to inform people not to fill up on top of the wrong fuel but to get it drained immediately.
