It was about seven pm on a Tuesday and though we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Dan and I were relaxing going over the weekend's rugby results, at the ready for the next telephone call for the day to arrive. Eventually we received the call from a girl on a business excursion who had arrived at the Tesco petrol garage in Longniddry and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Kia rental. The unfortunate thing was fairly irritated by the sounds of it, telling me "I still cannot believe I have messed up the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I asked her to settle back and not to worry, and also that such things regrettably do happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle to a protected space and, seeing as it was no more than a short distance from where we were, we were able to reach the customer quickly. The wrong fuel was taken out and she could return to the Premier Inn she was living at. Even though we got really drenched, it was all worth it seeing her drive off contented and less worried.

Our Areas of Competence :

Listed here are our top services we offer to our customers.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

What you can do in case you?ve put Adblue in a Diesel tank? AdBlue is a chemical that?s made out of a blend of deionized water and urea (32.5%).It is actually damaging to your vehicle's fuel system, specifically if you started the car with Adblue in the fuel tank. The moment the engine has been started up the Adblue will undoubtedly be pulled into your fuel lines and will rapidly start to crystalise, bringing about devastating and expensive damage to your car's fuel system.

Give us a call if it turns out you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and are able to handle all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually an important situation to address in a car - especially in current day common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel will often bring about idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not dealt with properly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain when compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both circumstances quite expediently.

Bear in mind though that if the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will be totally wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we should be able to access the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank sitting at the rear of your premises full of out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and commercial properties in East Lothian to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or even several drums in a storage shed, assuming that we can access it, we are able to empty it.
