It was about seven pm on a Monday and though we were assured a dry and fresh day, it hadn't stopped raining! Brian and me were sitting there talking about the footy results, at the ready for the next telephone call to come in. Finally we got a phone call from a woman on a company expedition who had gone to the Shell petrol garage in Lockerbie and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Fiat hire car. She was pretty irritated it seemed, telling me "I still cannot believe I've ruined the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle that I had did not remember that I was running a diesel!" I just advised her to relax and not to fret, and also that these things happen. She was able to maneuver the car into a safe position and, since it was only a few minutes from the office, we were able to find the customer almost instantly.

Wrong Fuel in Car Lockerbie - Lockerbie Wrong Fuel Doctor
I'd had a great day golfing on my holiday and was feeling pleased the following morning as I set off to help a young couple who were holidaying in Lockerbie. They had conked out after adding diesel in their Honda, and the car was about half an hour's travel away. I emerged at their location and laughed as I heard to the girl telling her hubby off for actually being so stupid. "Exactly how could you even manage to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she told him. I attempted to tell her that this situation goes on everyday in Dumfries and Galloway and that it's absolutely nothing to fret about, even so he all the same got an earful. I felt sorry for the guy. In any case, I removed the contaminated fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave them some right fuel. Watching them drive down the road I mouthed bon voyage and wondered what my wife would do to me if perhaps I did the very same thing... I'd never hear the end of it!

AdBlue Contamination
All around Dumfries and Galloway we are encountering a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part a result of people not being aware of the right way to use it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly next to one another on the car.
So, what exactly is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel car? As the product is predominantly deionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition to this, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.
In case you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And most definitely never switch on the car - not even to relocate it into a parking area. In cases where you did start the vehicle you would very likely need to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters changed.
Water contaminated fuel
Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is in many cases an important matter to address in a vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water in diesel or petrol will likely produce idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out effectively, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we can take care of both cases pretty quickly.
You should know that so long as the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will be completely water-logged and useless.
Boat Fuel Drains
If you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to a car or truck parking bay we will be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We have done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}
Waste Fuel Disposal
Have an old fuel reservoir lying in the rear of your premises full of unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and industrial premises in Dumfries and Galloway for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps some drums in a storage shed, providing we are able to access it, we can drain it for you.

Recent Fuel Drains in Lockerbie
On the next paragraphs are responses and good examples of wrong fuel removal we have done in Lockerbie:
We a few weeks ago had a call from a driver who had put the wrong fuel in his Toyota in Lockerbie. He had broken down on the road. "After putting petrol in my diesel car I didn't notice the predicament up until the time we conked out. You removed the wrong fuel from my car and had it working once again. I was pleased by both how quick you were and your prices". Obviously we got there punctually and flushed the engine after draining the contaminated fuel from the diesel tank. On arrival the fuel drainer said the motorist was scowling, but was satisfied afterwards.

This was an unsociable time to be awake. It was around 2 in the morning and nobody was about. It had been fairly dead so far, and me and John were sitting perusing a couple of old newspapers. This was an unusual calm hour in Dumfries and Galloway. It was indeed so calm that the moment my mobile ultimately rang it made me jump! The motorist on the phone explained: "I've just completed my evening shift and incredibly filled the wrong fuel in my diesel Chevrolet in error". We asked him to inform us just where he was and we hit the road, getting to him in Lockerbie no more than an hour later. The contaminated fuel was cleaned from the motor and he thanked us for coming so quickly. While we were heading back home we spotted two young ladies at the side of the highway who seemed like they had a puncture. So we pulled up to change it, to their delight.
