Our Fields of Expertise:

Listed here are the top services we offer to our customers.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Devon we have found an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a person has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent a result of drivers not understanding how to to make use of (important: it's not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right next to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what is the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel car? As AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it at once. And certainly don't start the engine - not even to move it into a parking bay. If you have started the car you will most likely need to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, can be an important matter to handle in a car - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water in petrol or diesel may well trigger idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied effectively, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to handle both situations rather simply.

Be aware that as long as the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one will likely be wholly wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to an automobile parking spot we are able to reach the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel container placed in the rear of your premises full of unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many private and business premises in Devon to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or even a few drums in a shed, provided that we are able to reach it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Plymouth (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a complete Devon Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to refill your automobile any time you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at cost) to fill up your car or truck. They will deal with the typical problems which can come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

It was yet in the early hours of the morning and our technical engineer, who stays locally, got to him in about twenty minutes. We were able to remove the wrong fuel and put fresh diesel yet again in the vehicle. "Sincere thanks to you for your timely response, especially at 2 a.m., I am grateful for it."
