Wrong Fuel Bodmin - Bodmin Wrong Fuel Assist

Ahhh, that was a great night of sleep! It was 7:30 on a warm Tuesday and we were off to help an elder sweetheart who put petrol in her diesel Ford in Bodmin. I had been told she had driven away from the filling station and was pulled up along a rural road en route to visit her family. I popped the location straight into the Satnav and got there in less than an hour. I arrived at the vehicle and drained the contaminated fuel out of the car. While I was doing the drain she said, "I have been getting fairly absent-minded in my senior years and forgot about the car needing diesel as I'd only just acquired it a short while back when my former car, which I had used for in excess of 25 years, inevitably died on me". I finished the job and she gave me a Murray mint and said thanks. What a lovely Cornwall lady!

Services We Deliver:

Here is a list of the incorrect fuel services we offer.

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Cornwall we are discovering more and more instances of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part a result of people not being aware of how to to make use of (important: it's not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly next to each other on the automobile.

So, what exactly is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? As AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out immediately. And certainly take care not to start up the engine - not even to move it off the pump. If you did start the vehicle you may likely have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant issue to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel tank can easily trigger idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied effectively, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain as compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to resolve both cases quite quickly.

Take note that in the event that the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one will be totally wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to parking spot we will be able to access the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container sitting at the rear of your garden full of unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few private and business premises in Cornwall to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a few containers in a shed, provided that we can get to it, we could certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Bodmin (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a full Cornwall Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to refill your car if you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at cost) to refill your car. They can also handle the typical problems which might come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even flat batteries because of over-cranking.


Wrong Fuel in Car Bodmin - Bodmin Wrong Fuel Doctor

A guy had broken down just near a street in Bodmin. His MG car had stopped running and he had no clue what was awry until he noticed he had put petrol in his diesel car. He called us to request a fuel drain and that's when he said to us: "I cannot believe that I didn't realise that I put the incorrect fuel in my vehicle." He claimed that he had gotten virtually no sleep the night before and that must have been the reason.


Recent Fuel Drains in Bodmin

Some of the more ordinary stories we see from many of our technicians in Bodmin:

A young person who had just passed his driving test had misfueled his Vauxhall by having petrol in the diesel at the filling station close to Bodmin. He said, "This is only the second occasion I have fuelled my car from the time when I paid for it and I don't know how to proceed." He was also scared as his dad had just purchased him the car. He came across us on the internet and so called us immediately, afraid about what he ought to do. Our individual on the telephones explained to him that we would be there inside forty five minutes and to not do anything to the vehicle while he waited. We finished the fuel drain on his car and he said how astonished he was it was dealt with so swiftly and with not much complication at all.

Wrong Fuel Assist Bodmin - Bodmin Wrong Fuel Assist

This was what we call the night shift. It was close to dawn and hardly anyone was around. It was fairly uneventful until now, and Brian and I were loafing browsing a few old papers. It was an uncommon peaceful hour in Cornwall. It was that quiet that the instant my mobile eventually rang it made me jump! The motorist said: "I concluded my night shift and incredibly poured the wrong fuel in the Peugeot in error". I got him to let us know where exactly he was located and we left, arriving in Bodmin only 30 minutes later. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed from the engine. He said thanks a lot for arriving so promptly. As we were coming back to the depot we noticed two girls on the edge of the highway who seemed like they had a flat tyre. As a result we pulled up to change it, to their delight.

Fuel Removal Bodmin - Bodmin Wrong Fuel in Car

A couple of days ago a driver telephoned us because his Porsche cut out in the middle of a road in Bodmin. He had inadvertently put unleaded in the diesel car and drove as far as the street before needing to halt. It was in the early hours of the day and our technician, who stays nearby, reached him in less than a quarter hour. We managed to remove the incorrect fuel and put fresh diesel once again in to the vehicle. "Thank you for your fast response, and in particular at 6 a.m., I genuinely appreciate it."
