It was before 8 pm on a Monday and although we were guaranteed a rainless day, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Mark and I were relaxing there talking about the football rankings, prepared for the 6th fuel drain to come in. Finally we got a call from a woman on a company trip who had arrived at the Texaco petrol station in Newton Stewart and put petrol in her diesel Citroen rental in error. She was pretty agitated it seemed, stating "I just can't believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I had did not remember I was running a diesel!" We asked her to calm down and not to be concerned, and that things like this sadly can happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle into a safe spot and, because it was just a few minutes away from us, we were able to arrive at her quickly. The wrong fuel was extracted so she could get back to the motel she was lodging in. Although we got fairly wet, it was all worth it to watch her drive away satisfied and less apprehensive.

This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue In your Fuel

How to handle it in the event that you have poured Adblue in a Diesel fuel tank? AdBlue is a solution made from a mix of urea and deionized water.Adblue is actually harmful to your vehicle's fuel system, specifically any time you started the car with Adblue in the diesel tank. The moment the engine has been started the Adblue is going to be injected into the fuel lines and will swiftly begin to crystalise, causing serious and costly damage to your car's fuel system.

If perhaps you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it at the earliest opportunity. And absolutely don't switch on the car - not even to maneuver it from the pump. If you did start the car you would almost certainly have to have the full fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is certainly a significant matter to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel tank may well result in idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied properly, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both circumstances quite expediently.

Keep in mind however that if the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will likely be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or parked close to an automobile parking bay we will be able to gain access to the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank at the back of your premises containing unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of domestic and industrial premises in Dumfries and Galloway to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a few drums in an outbuilding, providing we are able to reach it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Newton Stewart (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a complete Dumfries and Galloway Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to refill your car in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) and fill the car. They are also able to take care of the normal problems that may accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
