Services We Provide:

Here is a list of the incorrect fuel services we give.

AdBlue Contamination

In Devon we have noticed an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is mainly caused by people being unsure of the right way to use it (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly next to one another on the car.

Now, what exactly is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Because AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you find yourself in this position do not fret or panic! Contact us, the UK?s Number 1 fuel contamination business. Our engineers possess the specialised know-how and working experience to get you back on the road promptly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, can be a serious matter to take care of in an automobile - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Water in diesel or petrol may well cause idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with correctly, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to solve both cases quite easily.

Remember that as long as the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted as the previous one will likely be completely water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to parking bay we can reach the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

We've been called out to many privately owned and commercial premises in Devon to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even a few drums in an outbuilding, providing we can reach it, we can certainly drain it for you.

We're able to get out to re-fill your vehicle in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home.
