It was after seven pm on a Monday and though we were guaranteed a dry evening, it had not stopped raining! Mark and I were relaxing there talking about the recent footy, at the ready for the seventh telephone call for the day to arrive. Eventually we got a call from a lovely women on a business excursion who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol station in Travistock and put petrol in her diesel Honda hire car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was fairly agitated by the sounds of it, saying "I just can't believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I'm just so used to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I had forgot that I was using a diesel!" We asked her to take it easy and not to fret, and that such things often happen. She had managed to get the vehicle to a secure space and, because it was no more than a few miles away from the office, we could get to her swiftly. The wrong fuel was taken out so she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was living at. Despite the fact that we got fairly drenched, it was all worth the effort to see her drive home contented and much less worried. Another misfuel correction in Camden well done in my mind!

AdBlue Contamination

In Camden we are discovering more and more instances of AdBlue contamination when a driver has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree due to motorists not knowing the way to use it (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right adjacent to each other on the automobile.

So, exactly what is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel car? As the product is primarily ionised water, it is actually just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Additionally, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it right away. And absolutely don't turn over the car - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. In cases where you did start the vehicle you will in all probability need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important matter to address in an automobile - especially in current day common-rail engines. Having water in fuel tank can produce idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not remedied fully, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove compared to water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can deal with both cases very easily.

Keep in mind however that so long as the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will undoubtedly be totally wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to a vehicle parking bay we can reach the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We have succesfully done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have a fuel container laying in the rear of the garden containing out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous privately owned and commercial premises in Camden for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps several drums in an outbuilding, providing we are able to reach it, we are able to empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Travistock (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a comprehensive Camden Out of Fuel Service. We can come to refill your vehicle in cases where you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump price) and fill up your car. They will handle the most common issues that could go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Travistock - Travistock Fuel Removal

I'd had a fantastic day cycling during the weekend and felt delighted the next morning as I set out to assist a young couple away in Travistock. They had conked out after putting diesel in their Mitsubishi, and were close to half an hour away. I turned up at their position and laughed while I heard to the gal telling her spouse off for being so daft. "How could you possibly manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she told him. I attempted to explain that this situation takes place regularly in Camden and that it's in reality nothing at all to get worried about, even so he all the same got an earful by his wife. Unlucky lad. Anyway, I removed the wrong fuel, flushed the motor and gave it some proper fuel. Watching them drive down the road I shouted good bye and wondered what my missus would tell me if perhaps I made the very same error... I would personally never hear the end of it!
