Services We Deliver:

This is exactly what we do best.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Devon we are finding increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially stemming from drivers not understanding the right way to use it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right adjacent to one another on the automobile.

Well, what is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Because AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it's just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Also, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

Phone us in the event that you are struggling with AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and are able to take care of every type of AdBlue contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant condition to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel tank will likely produce idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out fully, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both situations fairly simply.

Keep in mind though that so long as the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the previous one will be thoroughly wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you have the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or secured near to a vehicle parking spot we can access the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've carried out many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir lying in the back of the garden containing unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous private and business premises in Devon for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a number of drums in a garage, assuming that we are able to get to it, we can empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Honiton (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a complete Devon Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to refill your vehicle in cases where you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at cost) and refill your automobile. They are also able to take care of any of the standard troubles that can accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Honiton - Honiton Fuel Drain

A person phoned us from his home on a street in Honiton. He pronounced, "My vehicle (a Volvo) is not starting up and is producing terrible sounds when I flip the ignition." He said that he had put unleaded in his diesel car but then reckoned he would resolve the issue by putting extra Diesel on top. We were on scene quickly, carried out the fuel drain and filled him up once again with fresh Diesel. He told us that he would be certain to inform people not to fill up in addition to the incorrect fuel but to get it drained promptly.
