Services We Offer:

Here is a list of the incorrect fuel services we provide.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Scottish Borders we have noticed a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination when someone has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is mainly a result of drivers not knowing the way to work with it (note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right next to one another on the vehicle.

Well, precisely what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing as the product is mostly deionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Moreover, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank remove it as quickly as possible. And obviously do not turn over the vehicle - not even to maneuver it into a parking place. In case you did start the vehicle you may most likely need to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is definitely an important matter to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel may trigger idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with correctly, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to solve both cases rather simply.

Be aware though that whenever the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the previous one will likely be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or secured close to a car or truck parking spot we should be able to access the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel tank sitting in the rear of your premises containing unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of private and commercial premises in Scottish Borders to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or even some drums in an outbuilding, assuming that we can access it, we are able to drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Melrose (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a full Scottish Borders Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to fill up your automobile any time you are stranded on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at cost) and fill up your car. They will take care of any of the usual problems that may accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Assist Melrose - Melrose Wrong Fuel Assist

A person called us from Melrose to state that he mistakenly piped petrol in to his diesel Renault. "Shocking! How could I put the wrong fuel in my diesel car!" It took our fuel drainer about 50 minutes to fully drain the wrong fuel out of the vehicle. He carefully flushed the fuel lines, filter and pumps and after that put fresh fuel in the vehicle. The customer was very pleased and it didn't cost him dealership prices to have the work professionally performed.
