Wrong Fuel in Car Padstow, Cornwall

Our Areas of Competency :

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

AdBlue In Diesel

In Cornwall we have found a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to a degree caused by drivers not being totally sure the right way to use it (important: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually right close to one another on the car.

Now, precisely what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? As AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Additionally, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And certainly don't turn over the motor - not even to relocate it from the pump. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you would probably need to have the whole fuel system purged and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, can be a significant condition to deal with in a vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in your diesel or petrol is going to produce idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not sorted out properly, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain than water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both circumstances rather swiftly.

Be aware however that whenever the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the previous one will be wholly wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we will be able to gain access to the tanks and drain out the fuel. We have undertaken many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have a fuel reservoir in the rear of the garden full of old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many private and commercial properties in Cornwall to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or even some drums in a storage shed, provided that we can access it, we can drain it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Padstow (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a complete Cornwall Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to refill your car in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) and refill your automobile. They will handle any of the common problems which might go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to start, and even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Recent Fuel Drains in Padstow

Below are feedback and good examples of wrong fuel removal we have undertaken in Padstow:

Now I am not necessarily overly inclined to doing the job on weekends, and 2 weeks ago was the same. I had just left the wife and kids after eating a superb dinner prepared for us by the wife, and I was on my way to sort out a man after he had put the wrong petrol in his Nissan. He was only in Padstow so I was there almost immediately. As I drove up at the car and stepped out he told me "Praise the Lord! I stupidly had my concentration on other considerations and failed to perceive I'd put diesel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I caused problems as a result of running it?" I determined that truth be told there shouldn't be any kind of problems and also I would personally drain the wrong fuel right away for him. Obviously I got the wrong fuel drained from the vehicle and put in some appropriate fuel, and yet another pleased motorist was able to continue his travelling without the need for bother. The gentleman couldn't stop thanking me, and that is what helps make carrying out work on weekends in Cornwall just that small bit better for me personally!

Wrong Fuel Assist Padstow - Padstow Petrol in Diesel

A young lady from Padstow with a full car of youngsters in her diesel Smart had put £40 of petrol at the Shell filling station. She contacted us crying and very distraught as she had never filled up with the wrong fuel previously and did not know what might happen to her vehicle in doing so. We reassured her that the car should be ok and that she would be back on the road soon. When we arrived on scene she was still upset but while our fuel drainer got to work on the fuel drain she calmed down since she saw that something could be done and her car wasn't wrecked. She quickly brightened up and was on the road again saying, "I really can't believe my luck putting petrol in my diesel car! Specifically with the children in the back."
