Wrong Fuel in Car Chudleigh - Chudleigh Fuel Drain

Just had a good night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 am on a bright Saturday and I was off to help an old woman after she put petrol in her diesel Peugeot in Chudleigh. She told us that she had driven away from the filling station forecourt and pulled up on a rural road en route to see her godchildren. I got the location plugged in the Satnav and got there in less than an hour. I got to the stricken lady and extracted the wrong fuel from the car. Whilst I was doing the work she told me, "Now I'm getting rather absent-minded in my senior years and did not remember about the vehicle taking diesel seeing that I'd only got it several days ago when my former one, which I'd used for over 30 years, finally stopped working". I got the job completed and she gifted me a toffee and thanked me for my efforts. Such a pleasant Devon woman!

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Devon we have discovered progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination where a person has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree as a result of motorists not being totally sure the way to work with it (please note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly close to each other on the car.

So, what exactly is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing that the product is predominantly deionised water, it is as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Apart from this, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out immediately. And certainly take care not to start the motor - not even to relocate it into a parking bay. Assuming you did start the vehicle you will very likely have to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is generally a serious situation to take care of in an automobile - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel may result in idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of properly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain as compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can take care of both cases fairly quickly.

You should know though that as long as the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one will undoubtedly be completely wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to a vehicle parking spot we should be able to gain access to the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir in the back of your premises with unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous private and business properties in Devon for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even a few drums in a garage, provided that we are able to get to it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Chudleigh (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a full Devon Run Out of Fuel Service. We can help to re-fill your car in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at pump prices) and fill up the car. They will handle the typical problems which might go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, and even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Fuel Removal Chudleigh - Chudleigh Fuel Drain

This was the night shift. It was around sunrise and hardly anyone was stirring. It was rather uneventful thus far, and me and Ray were relaxing reading through several old articles. This was a rare restful moment in Devon. It was indeed so quiet that when my mobile inevitably rang it made me jump! The motorist told me: "I only just completed my evening shift and stupidly filled the wrong fuel in the Chevrolet". We instructed him to let us know where exactly the vehicle was and we left, getting to him in Chudleigh less than 30 minutes later. The wrong fuel was taken out from the engine and he thanked us for coming so promptly. While we were heading back home we spotted two young women on the edge of the highway who looked like they suffered a flat tyre. Obviously we pulled up and helped them change it, much to their delight.

Wrong Fuel in Car Chudleigh - Chudleigh Fuel Drain

A man phoned us from his residence on a close in Chudleigh. He pronounced, "My vehicle (a Chevrolet) is not starting up and is producing awful sounds when I flip the key." He confessed that he put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle but then thought he would remedy the problem by putting extra Diesel on top. We were on scene quickly, carried out the drain and filled it up once more with clean Diesel. He said he'd be absolutely sure to educate people not to fill up on top of the incorrect fuel but to have it cleaned out right away.
