It was close to 7 pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were promised a rainless day, it hadn't stopped raining! Brian and I were relaxing there discussing the football results, prepared for the next job to come in. Before long we got the call from a young lady on a business expedition who had gone to the BP filling garage in Portlethen and filled petrol in her diesel BMW rental. The unfortunate lady was very troubled apparently, telling me "I still can't believe I have messed up the vehicle! I am so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I had didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" We told her to relax and not to fret, and also that such things regrettably can happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle into a secure spot and, as it was only a few miles from where we were, we were able to reach the lady almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was drained so she could return to the hotel she was living in. Despite the fact we got fairly soaked, it was all worth it to see her drive away satisfied and not so worried.

Services We Provide:
Here's a list of the incorrect fuel services we deliver.
AdBlue Contamination
In Aberdeenshire we have noticed progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination when someone has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to a degree thanks to drivers being unsure of how to work with it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly close to each other on the automobile.
So, what exactly is the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Additionally, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.
Phone us if you are suffering from AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to correct every type of AdBlue contamination.
Water contaminated fuel
Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is usually a significant condition to address in a vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol will produce idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out correctly, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of than water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both situations very quickly.
You should know that if ever the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one will probably be thoroughly wet and ineffective.
Boat Fuel Drains
If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to a car or truck parking bay we should be able to reach the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}
Waste Fuel Management
Got an old fuel reservoir lying in the rear of your premises with aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many privately owned and business premises in Aberdeenshire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or even several drums in a garage, providing we can access it, we can drain it for you.
Re-Fueling Service
Run out of fuel in Portlethen (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a complete Aberdeenshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to refill your vehicle any time you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump price) and refill the car. They can also deal with the standard problems which might accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Tales from our Portlethen team:
We got a phone call from a gentleman whose Jaguar had broken down on a road after a misfuel. "I got the pumps mixed up and pumped the wrong fuel in my car by mistake. These guys arrived and resolved the situation when my vehicle died." We drained the wrong fuel from the diesel tank and flushed the system thoroughly afterwards and the driver could then proceed with his sheduled delivery.
Wrong Fuel Doctor Portlethen - Portlethen Wrong Fuel in Car
A young lady from Portlethen with a full car of little ones in her diesel Nissan had filled her vehicle with £45 of petrol at the petrol station. She called us crying and very worried as she had never wrong fuelled and didn't know what would happen to her vehicle in doing so. We assured her that the vehicle should be alright and that she would be back up and running soon. When we arrived she was visible distressed but while our engineer started work on the fuel drain she calmed down since she noticed that something could be done and her car wasn't unfixable. She soon cheered up and was up and running saying, "I simply can't believe my misfortune putting petrol in my diesel car! Especially with the youngsters on board."
