It was after 9 pm on a Wednesday and while we were promised a dry evening, it had not given up on pouring! Dan and me were seated going over the weekend's rugby, at the ready for the next job to arrive. Inevitably we received the call from a girl on a business trip who had arrived at the Shell petrol station in Truro and filled petrol in her diesel Land Rover hire car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was fairly agitated it seemed, saying "I simply cannot believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car that I had didn't remember I was using a diesel!" We instructed her to relax and not to worry, plus that things like this regrettably often happen. She had managed to move the car into a secure space and, seeing that it was only a few miles from where we were, we could reach her swiftly. The bad fuel was extracted so she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was lodging at. Although we got fairly soaked, it was all worth it to see her drive home calm and much less apprehensive. A fuel drain in Cornwall well done in my mind!

Services We Provide:

Do you or your employees frequently misfuel your vehicle? We can fix any connected problems.

AdBlue In your Fuel

How to proceed in the event that you?ve poured Adblue into your Diesel fuel tank? It tends to be damaging to your car's fuel system, particularly any time you run the engine with Adblue in the diesel fuel tank. Whenever the engine has been started up the Adblue will be squirted into the fuel lines and will rapidly begin to crystalise, leading to disastrous and costly problems to your automobile's fuel system.

Give us a call if it turns out you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can take care of every type of AdBlue contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant issue to deal with in a motor vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank can lead to idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out fully, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove when compared with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to take care of both situations pretty expediently.

Remember however that if ever the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one is going to be totally wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. As long as the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to a car or truck parking spot we will be able to reach the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank lying at the back of your garden full of out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several private and business properties in Cornwall to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps some containers in a storage shed, providing we are able to reach it, we are able to empty it.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Truro (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a complete Cornwall Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to refill the car any time you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at cost) and fill up your automobile. They are also able to take care of any of the common problems which could accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to start, and even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Fuel Removal Truro - Truro Wrong Fuel in Car

I'd had a perfect afternoon fishing during my afternoon off and felt pleased with myself the following day as I set out to aid a new couple who were vacationing in Truro. They broken down after filling petrol into their Porsche, and the car was close to half an hour away. I got there at their location and smiled as I listened to the woman telling her man off for being so daft. "Just how could you conceivably be able to fill the car up by using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I tried to tell her that this comes to pass quite frequently in Cornwall and that it's absolutely nothing to be concerned about, and yet he still had his ear bent. Unfortunate guy. Anyway, I drained all of the wrong fuel, flushed the engine and gave them some correct fuel. Watching them drive away I mouthed so long and considered what her indoors would do to me in the event that I did the very same thing... I would personally under no circumstances hear the end of it!
