It was before 8 pm on a Friday and though we were promised a dry and fresh night, it hadn't stopped raining! Brian and I were sitting there discussing the footy, prepared for the 6th fuel drain to come in. In due time we had a call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had arrived at the Sainsburys petrol station in Colyton and put the wrong fuel in a diesel SEAT hire car. The unfortunate thing was quite distressed apparently, saying "I still cannot believe that I've wrecked the car! I am so used to filling up my petrol vehicle that I had forgot I was driving a diesel!" I just instructed her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and that these things regrettably can happen. She had managed to get the car to a secure space and, as it was no more than a short distance off from us, we were able to get to the lady swiftly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to return to the motel she was residing at. Although we got fairly soaked, it was all worth the time to see her drive off contented and not so worried. One more job in Devon done well in my books!

Our Areas of Competency :

Listed here are our top services we offer to our clients.

AdBlue In your Fuel

What you should do in the event that you?ve poured Adblue in a Diesel tank? AdBlue is a solution that is made from a blend of urea and deionized water (67.5%).Adblue is definitely damaging to your vehicle's fuel system, especially any time you run the engine with Adblue in your fuel tank. As soon as the engine has been started up the Adblue is going to be pushed into the fuel lines and will quickly start to crystalise, triggering catastrophic and expensive harm to your car's fuel system.

If perhaps you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out at once. And absolutely be careful not to start the engine - not even to relocate it to a parking spot. Assuming you did start the vehicle you will probably have to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a significant matter to deal with in a car - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel is likely to trigger idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed fully, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove than water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both cases quite swiftly.

Take note that in the event that the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one will likely be completely water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to a car parking bay we are able to access the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We have undertaken many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel reservoir laying in the back of the garden with aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and industrial premises in Devon to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps a few drums in a storage shed, assuming that we are able to get to it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Colyton (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a full Devon Run Out of Fuel Service. We can help to fill up your automobile in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at pump price) to refill your vehicle. They can also take care of any of the common troubles that might go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or even flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Fuel Removal Colyton - Colyton Petrol in Diesel

A customer contacted us from his residence on a close in Colyton. He pronounced, "My car (a Mazda) is not starting and is generating terrible sounds when I turn the ignition." He confessed that he had put petrol in his diesel car but then imagined he would solve the problem by putting further Diesel on top. We got there promptly, performed the drain and filled him up once more with clean Diesel. He said after that he'd be certain to explain to people not to fill up over the incorrect fuel but to have it cleaned out immediately.
