It was just after five pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry and fresh day, it had not stopped raining! James and I were seated there discussing the rugby, waiting around for the seventh call that day to arrive. In due time we received a phone call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had arrived at the Shell filling garage in Portree and put petrol in her diesel Audi rental in error. The poor lady was quite agitated by the sounds of it, saying "I can not believe that I have destroyed the car! I am so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember I was running a diesel!" We advised her to settle back and not to be concerned, plus that these things regrettably do happen. She had managed to relocate the car into a safe spot and, seeing as it was only a few minutes from us, we were able to get to the lady fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could return to the Premier Inn she was lodging in. Although we got really drenched, it was all worth it to see her drive off contented and not so worried. A fuel drain in Highland done well in my mind!

Services We Provide:

Below are our top services we deliver to our clients.

AdBlue Contamination

In Highland we are noticing more and more examples of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent a result of people not being aware of how to use it (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Well, what exactly is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing as the product is primarily ionised water, it's as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Moreover, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

If perhaps you get in this scenario don?t panic! Contact us, the UK?s Best fuel contamination service. Our engineers have the technical knowledge and working experience to have you back on the road quickly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a serious condition to handle in a car - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your fuel tank can certainly result in idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with fully, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out than water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both circumstances pretty easily.

Take note though that so long as the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to a car or truck parking spot we are able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank placed in the back of your premises full of old, unusable or degraded fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many privately owned and business properties in Highland to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even some containers in an outbuilding, assuming that we can access it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Service

We can easily come to re-fill your car any time you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home.

Petrol in Diesel Portree - Portree Wrong Fuel Doctor

A gentleman rang us from his house on a close in Portree. He said, "My vehicle (a Fiat) is not running and is making terrible sounds when I turn the key." He confessed that he had put petrol in his diesel vehicle but then imagined he would solve the problem by putting further Diesel on top. We got there quickly, performed the fuel drain and filled him up once again with fresh Diesel. He said after that he'd be certain to inform people not to fill up on top of the incorrect fuel but to get it drained promptly.
