Services We Give:

Below are the top services we offer to our clients.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Devon we are discovering more and more examples of AdBlue contamination when somebody has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is mostly as a result of people being unsure of the right way to work with it (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to one another on the car.

Well, what exactly is the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? As the product is mainly deionised water, it's as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water don't blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Additionally, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

If in case you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained right away. And most certainly take care not to turn over the car - not even to relocate it off the pump. If you have started the car you will probably have to have the full fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant matter to take care of in a motor vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel tank can potentially produce idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out fully, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain as compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both cases pretty simply.

Take note however that any time the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one will likely be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or moored close to a motor vehicle parking spot we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've performed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir lying at the rear of your garden containing aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and commercial premises in Devon for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even some drums in a storage shed, assuming that we are able to get to it, we are able to drain it.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Colyton (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a complete Devon Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to refill your car in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump price) to fill the car. They are also able to fix any of the typical problems that could go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Colyton - Colyton Fuel Removal

I had appreciated a terrific evening golfing on my off day and was feeling contented the following day as I headed out to aid a new family who were away in Colyton. They'd pulled over after inserting the wrong fuel into their Toyota, and they were close to an hour's travel away. I arrived at their car and smiled to myself as I heard to the girl telling her hubby off for being so stupid. "Just how could you actually find a way to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I wanted to clarify that this occurs everyday in Devon and that it's truly absolutely nothing to worry about, but he all the same had an ear bashing. Unlucky guy. Anyway, I removed all of the polluted fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled it up with the correct fuel. Watching them drive off I mouthed farewell and wondered what my missus would ask me if perhaps I did the same thing... I would never hear the end of it!
