It was just before five pm on a Monday and even though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it had not ceased pouring! James and I were seated commenting on the weekend's footy rankings, prepared for the 8th telephone call that day to arrive. In due time we received a phone call from a girl on a business trip who had pulled into the Shell petrol station in Lochmaben and put petrol in her diesel Volkswagen lease car in error. She was somewhat irritated apparently, telling me "I just can't believe that I've ruined the car! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I had did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I instructed her to relax and not to fret, and that things like this often happen. She managed to maneuver the car into a protected area and, seeing that it was just a few miles away from us, we could reach the lady fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was taken out so she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was residing in. Although we got fairly soaked, it was all worth the time to watch her drive off contented and a lot less stressed. One more fuel drain in Dumfries and Galloway well done in my books!

Services We Provide:

Listed here are the top services we deliver to our customers.

AdBlue Contamination

What you should do in case you may have put Adblue into your Diesel tank? Adblue can be devastating to your car's fuel system, especially if you run the engine with Adblue in the diesel fuel tank. Once the engine has been started the Adblue will undoubtedly be pulled into your fuel lines and will rapidly begin to crystalise, resulting in disastrous and costly damage to your automobile's fuel system.

If you find you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank remove it at once. And certainly never crank the car - not even to relocate it from the pump. In case you have started the vehicle you would almost certainly have to have the entire fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is without question a serious issue to handle in a car - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Having water inside your diesel or petrol can lead to idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied fully, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain in comparison with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both circumstances fairly easily.

Keep in mind that as long as the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one will probably be wholly wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to a motor vehicle parking bay we can gain access to the tanks and remove the fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got an old fuel tank in the rear of your garden full of unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many private and industrial properties in Dumfries and Galloway for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even a few drums in a shed, as long as we can reach it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Lochmaben (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a comprehensive Dumfries and Galloway Run Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to refill your car in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) and refill your car. They are also able to deal with the typical problems which may accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or maybe dead batteries caused by over-cranking.
