Red diesel in the tank in Kirkcaldy

Short answer

Red diesel in a road vehicle is a legal problem as well as a mechanical one. It is drained, flushed and disposed of under licence.

Anywhere in Kirkcaldy, a unit attends the vehicle where it stands. Typically 1-2 hours on site, and the price is agreed with you on the phone first.

Do not start the engine, and do not drive to a garage. Moving the vehicle is what turns a drain into a repair.

Whether you are in Anstruther, Burntisland or Cowdenbeath, the vehicle is not driven anywhere. The unit comes to it. What changes the bill is not how much went in, but whether the engine has run since.
