It was just after ten pm on a Monday and though we were guaranteed a rainless night, it hadn't stopped pouring! Brian and I were seated going over the recent rugby results, at the ready for the sixth fuel drain of the day to arrive. Inevitably we had a phone call from a girl on a company trip who had gone to the BP petrol station in Bradninch and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Citroen rental by mistake. The unfortunate lady was quite distressed apparently, crying "I can not believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I totally did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" We asked her to calm down and not to fret, also that these things regrettably happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle into a protected spot and, seeing that it was just a short distance away from the office, we were able to reach her almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was taken out and she could return to the motel she was staying in. Although we got extremely wet, it was all rewarding to watch her drive home calm and a lot less worried. A job in Devon well done in my mind!

Services We Provide:

We can assist you with these mis-fuel problems.

Tank with incorrect fuel - You may not want petrol in your diesel tank but accidents arise. You will notice some changes in the overall performance of your vehicle like spluttering and stalling. An unusual volume of smoke can be noticed in the exhaust. Other problems may start to appear if this incorrect fuel is not dealt with.

Tank filled with water - Water can contaminate your engine and it must be taken out of the fuel system to prevent damages and rust in your engine. When you accelerate hard your engine, it may start to rev up and jolt. Contamination like this is not only common in boats. This can happen to the vehicle too because of the jerry cans that were previously used as a water container then later used as fuel container where water was not totally emptied.

Tank with AdBlue - This contamination occurs when you directly put AdBlue to your tank or you may have accidentally did it. Misinformation could be one of the reasons. People think it?s a fuel additive, it?s not. AdBlue is a liquid that?s added to reduce the dangerous effect of your engine?s emission in the exhaust. It must be installed in an individual tank for a particular purpose. Lots and lots of drivers are victims of this contamination but don?t worry as we know how to deal with it.

Contaminating your tank with red diesel - Red diesel at times finds its way into fuel tanks accidentally. Distraction or not focused in filling the tank from a tank or jerry can is one of the common reasons of this contamination. This can likely happen because there are 1500 UK garages that sell this kind of diesel. Should this happen to you unexpectedly, just give us a call and we'll do the job for you.

Old Fuel in the Tank - As time passes by and your vehicle is idle for a long time, the quality of your fuel degrades. This happens if the vehicle is not driven and has been on standby for a long time and the fuel has been in the tank unused. The engine may start and run but there will be problems you'll notice. Old fuel should be drained out, and it's a service we provide.

A gentleman had stopped near a road in Bradninch. His Volkswagen motor had ceased running and he'd no clue what was faulty right up until he realised he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel car. He contacted us to request a fuel drain and that is when he informed us: "I can't believe that I didn't detect that I put the incorrect fuel in my vehicle." He said that he had gotten very little rest the day before and that must have been why.
