Do you or your employees usually misfuel your car? We can solve any connected problems.

AdBlue Contamination

All around Devon we have noticed a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part as a consequence of people not being aware of the way to work with it (take note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly close to one another on the car.

So, exactly what is the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? As the product is primarily ionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Also, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained right away. And absolutely take care not to start up the vehicle - not even to move it away from the pump. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you would likely have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is generally an important situation to handle in an automobile - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel may cause idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not addressed properly, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can take care of both cases quite swiftly.

Take note though that if ever the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one is going to be totally wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to a motor vehicle parking spot we are able to gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel container laying in the rear of your garden full of old, useless or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several privately owned and industrial premises in Devon for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a few containers in a shed, if we are able to reach it, we are able to empty it.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Paignton (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a comprehensive Devon Run Out of Fuel Service. We can come to refill your automobile in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at pump prices) and fill your car or truck. They can also fix any of the normal troubles that might go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to start, as well as dead batteries due to over-cranking.
