It was close to six pm on a Wednesday and although we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Paul and I were sitting there going over the weekend's tennis results, waiting around for the sixth call to come in. Inevitably we received the phone call from a young lady on a company expedition who had gone to the Tesco petrol garage in Lochmaben and filled petrol in a diesel MG rental car. She was very irritated it seemed, saying "I just can't believe I have messed up the car! I'm so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I totally did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just advised her to settle back and not to fret, and also that things like this regrettably often happen. She was able to get the vehicle into a safe spot and, as it was only a short distance off from us, we could find the woman almost instantly. The incorrect fuel was taken out so she could get back to the motel she was lodging at. Even though we got pretty drenched, it was all rewarding seeing her drive away contented and not so worried.

Services Our Company Offers:

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue Contamination

All over Dumfries and Galloway we are finding more and more examples of AdBlue contamination when somebody has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is mostly as a consequence of motorists being unsure of the way to work with it (be aware: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly near to one another on the automobile.

Now, what exactly is the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Because AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Apart from this, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

If perhaps you find yourself in this position do not panic! Call us, the UK?s Premium fuel contamination company. Our experts have the practical expertise and experience to have you back on the road quickly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a serious issue to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Water in fuel tank can certainly lead to idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied properly, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can take care of both situations fairly expediently.

Take note that if ever the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will be thoroughly wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or situated near to a motor vehicle parking bay we can access the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We have carried out numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

We have been called out to many domestic and industrial premises in Dumfries and Galloway to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages.

Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps a number of containers in a storage shed, as long as we are able to access it, we can drain it for you.

A motorist had stopped off a road in Lochmaben. His MG engine had stopped operating and he had no idea what was awry until eventually he realised he put petrol in his diesel car. He rang us to get a fuel drain and that's when he said to us: "I cannot believe that I did not realise that I put the incorrect fuel in my car." He stated that he had gotten no sleep the day before and that must have been the reason.
