Below are the top services we deliver to our customers.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout North Lanarkshire we are finding more and more instances of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly caused by people not being aware of the way to work with it (take note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what is the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it's like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Apart from this, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

In the case you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it right away. And certainly never crank the motor - not even to move it into a parking area. In case you did start the vehicle you may probably need to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important situation to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Water in your fuel can potentially result in idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with fully, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of compared to water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both circumstances fairly swiftly.

Keep in mind however that in the event that the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted since the previous one will undoubtedly be wholly wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to parking spot we can reach the storage and drain out the fuel. We have completed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

We've been called out to numerous privately owned and commercial premises in North Lanarkshire to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely.

Fuel Removal Overtown - Overtown Wrong Fuel Drain

I had a great afternoon hiking during my holiday and felt pleased the next working day as I headed out to help a young family who were away in Overtown. They'd conked out after filling petrol in their Chevrolet, and were about an hour's drive away. I emerged at their position and smiled to myself while I listened to the girl telling her husband off for actually being so foolish. "Exactly how could you actually manage to fill the vehicle up with the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I tried to tell her that this kind of thing takes place regularly in North Lanarkshire and that it is nothing at all to be concerned about, however he still got an ear bashing. I felt genuine sympathy for the guy. Anyway, I cleaned up and removed all of the polluted fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled them up with the appropriate fuel. As they drove down the road I shouted bon voyage and wondered what my wife would say to me in the event that I did the same thing... I would under no circumstances live it down!
