It was just before ten pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it hadn't given up on pouring! Dan and I were sitting there talking about the recent football results, at the ready for the next call for the day to come in. Finally we had a call from a woman on a business excursion who had pulled into the Tesco petrol garage in Luncarty and put petrol in her diesel Suzuki rental by mistake. She was somewhat agitated it seemed, crying "I still can't believe that I have wrecked the car! I am so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car that I totally didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" I advised her to settle back and not to worry, plus that such things often happen. She had managed to get the vehicle to a secure space and, since it was only a few miles off from the office, we could get to the woman without delay. The bad fuel was extracted and she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got extremely wet, it was all worth the time to watch her drive away relaxed and not so concerned. Yet another fuel drain in Perth and Kinross well done in my mind!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Perth and Kinross we are noticing increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is mostly due to motorists not being totally sure how to work with it (note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right close to one another on the car.

Now, what's the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Because the product is predominantly deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition to this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you end up in this situation don?t fret or panic! Contact us, the UK?s Premium fuel contamination business. Our experts have got the practical skills and experience to get you back on your way promptly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, can be a serious situation to address in a vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in your petrol or diesel is likely to contribute to idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not sorted out fully, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to drain in comparison with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both circumstances rather swiftly.

Take note however that if the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will likely be wholly water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to a car parking spot we should be able to reach the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got an old fuel reservoir placed at the back of your garden containing aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous private and commercial properties in Perth and Kinross to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a few containers in a garage, providing we can get to it, we can drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Luncarty (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a comprehensive Perth and Kinross Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to fill up your car any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at pump prices) to refill your car or truck. They are also able to fix the usual issues that can come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or even dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Luncarty - Luncarty Wrong Fuel in Car

Yesterday a customer contacted us right after his Mitsubishi ground to a halt along a street in Luncarty. He had unintentionally put unleaded in the diesel car and drove to the street before needing to give up. It was really in the early hours of the day and our engineer, who lives locally, was with him in approximately 20 minutes. We managed to remove the wrong fuel and put clean diesel back in to the vehicle. "Thank you for your prompt response, especially at 2 a.m., I appreciate it."
