Our Areas of Competence :

Listed here are the top services we deliver to our clients.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Midlothian we are noticing a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination when an individual has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly as a consequence of motorists not knowing how to to make use of (remember: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly close to each other on the vehicle.

So, exactly what is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is actually like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Additionally, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

Give us a call if it turns out you are affected by AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will fix all kinds of AdBlue contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious issue to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Water in your petrol or diesel will result in idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with effectively, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can deal with both cases fairly quickly.

You should know however that if the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to a car or truck parking bay we can reach the tanks and drain out the fuel. We've done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel reservoir placed in the back of your garden containing out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and business properties in Midlothian to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even some containers in a garage, assuming that we can get to it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Penicuik (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a complete Midlothian Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to refill the car in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home.
