These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Devon we are identifying an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination where somebody has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to a degree as a result of drivers not understanding the right way to use it (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly next to one another on the car.

Well, what's the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? As the product is mostly ionised water, it is as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Also, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out asap. And obviously do not crank the car - not even to shift it off of the pump. In case you have started the car you would probably have to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, tends to be an important issue to take care of in an automobile - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Water inside your diesel or petrol can certainly cause idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out effectively, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can handle both situations very expediently.

Take note that whenever the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the previous one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. So long as the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to a car parking bay we are able to access the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have carried out numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank laying in the back of the garden with unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many private and commercial premises in Devon for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a few drums in a garage, as long as we can reach it, we can certainly empty it.

Run out of fuel in Bovey Tracey (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a comprehensive Devon Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to re-fill your vehicle in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home.
