It was about 6 pm on a Saturday and though we were promised a dry and fresh day, it hadn't ceased raining! James and me were relaxing there talking over the rugby results, waiting for the 8th telephone call of the day to arrive. In due time we received the phone call from a lady on a business expedition who had pulled into the Tesco filling garage in Bude-Stratton and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Mercedes hire car. The unfortunate thing was quite agitated it seemed, crying "I simply cannot believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling my petrol car that I totally did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I advised her to calm down and not to worry, and that such things regrettably can happen. She was able to get the vehicle into a secure spot and, seeing as it was no more than a short distance off from the office, we could get to the lady swiftly. The contaminated fuel was drained and she was able to go home to the Premier Inn she was residing in. Despite the fact we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth the effort to see her drive off calm and less concerned. Yet another job in Cornwall done well in my opinion!

Here are the top services we give to our customers.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

How to handle it in the event that you?ve poured Adblue into your Diesel tank? AdBlue is a solution that is made out of a mix of high-purity urea (32.5%) and deionized water (67.5%).Adblue can be devastating to your automobile's fuel system, especially in cases where you started the car with Adblue in your diesel tank. Whenever the engine has been started up the Adblue will likely be squirted into your fuel lines and will swiftly begin to crystalise, triggering devastating and costly problems to your vehicle's fuel system.

Contact us if you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to fix all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is certainly an important situation to take care of in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Water inside your petrol or diesel can certainly trigger idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed fully, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to take care of both circumstances very swiftly.

You should know that if ever the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will likely be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to an automobile parking bay we should be able to gain access to the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

We've been called out to many privately owned and commercial premises in Cornwall for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps a number of containers in a garage, if we can access it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Fuel Drain Bude-Stratton - Bude-Stratton Fuel Rescue

I had a wonderful afternoon fishing on my day off and was feeling cheerful the next morning as I headed out to assist a new family on holiday in Bude-Stratton. They had pulled over after filling diesel into their Dacia, and the car was about half an hour away. I got there at their position and laughed to myself as I heard to the lady telling her spouse off for actually being so stupid. "Precisely how could you conceivably find a way to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I tried to clarify that this situation occurs constantly in Cornwall and that it's nothing at all to stress about, nevertheless he yet still had his ear bent. Unfortunate chap. Anyways, I removed all the wrong fuel, flushed the motor and gave them some right fuel. While they drove off I mouthed bon voyage and pondered on what my missus would ask me if ever I made the exact same mistake... I'd never live it down!
