It was just before 8 pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry evening, it hadn't ceased pouring! Ryan and I were seated commenting on the weekend's footy rankings, waiting around for the 8th telephone call that day to arrive. Eventually we had the call from a young lady on a company trip who had arrived at the Esso filling garage in Redruth and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Dacia rental. She was quite affected apparently, crying "I simply can't believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol car I totally didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" We told her to take it easy and not to be concerned, also that things like this regrettably do happen. She had managed to move the car to a safe spot and, because it was only a short distance away from us, we were able to get to her swiftly.

Wrong Fuel Drain Redruth - Redruth Vehicle Misfuel
I had a perfect afternoon hiking during my holiday and was feeling satisfied with myself the following morning as I was en route to aid a new couple who were away in Redruth. They'd pulled over after adding the wrong fuel into their Vauxhall, and were approximately half an hour's travel away. I showed up at their car and smirked while I heard to the wife telling her husband off for turning out to be so daft. "Exactly how could you possibly manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she asked him. I wanted to tell her that this situation comes to pass on a regular basis in Cornwall and that it's really nothing at all to stress about, but he still got an earful. Unfortunate chap. Anyway, I drained all of the contaminated fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave them some appropriate fuel. As they drove off I waved good bye and wondered what my wife would tell me if perhaps I did the exact same thing... I'd never live it down!

AdBlue In your Fuel
All around Cornwall we are encountering a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent as a result of people being unsure of the right way to use it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly near to one another on the vehicle.
Well, what is the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Since the product is mainly ionised water, it is like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Additionally, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.
If perhaps you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained at once. And obviously be careful not to start up the motor - not even to shift it off the pump. In cases where you did start the car you will in all likelihood have to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.
Fuel contaminated with water
Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is actually a significant issue to deal with in a vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Having water inside your diesel or petrol can easily lead to idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out correctly, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to drain than water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. However we can handle both situations quite swiftly.
Keep in mind however that whenever the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one will probably be completely wet and useless.
Motorboat Fuel Drains
If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we can access the tanks and drain out the fuel.

Wrong Fuel Redruth - Redruth Wrong Fuel in Car
I appreciated a fantastic day hiking on my afternoon off and felt satisfied the next working day as I set out to assist a young couple holidaying in Redruth. They had conked out after inserting diesel in their Jaguar, and the car was roughly an hour away. I emerged at their position and laughed to myself as I listened to the woman telling her husband off for being so confused. "How could you actually be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she told him. I wanted to explain that this situation takes place all the time in Cornwall and that it's in reality nothing to be anxious about, however he in spite of everything had his ear bent. I felt sorry for the guy. Anyway, I removed all of the polluted fuel, flushed the engine and filled it up with the appropriate fuel. Watching them drive off I waved so long and pondered on what my missus would say to me if I made the very same error... I'd never hear the end of it!

Recent Fuel Drains in Redruth
Tales from our own Redruth team:
We recently had a call about a driver who put the wrong fuel in his Kia in Redruth. He had come to a stand-still on the street. "After inserting petrol in my diesel car I didn't recognise the problem before we broke down. You removed the wrong fuel from my car and had it working . I was happy because of both your speed and your value for money". As you can imagine we arrived on the scene promptly and flushed the engine after flushing all the contaminated fuel from the diesel tank. When he arrived the engineer said the client was scowling, but was really happy afterwards.
Wrong Fuel Assist Redruth - Redruth Wrong Fuel in Car
A woman from Redruth with a full car of youngsters in her diesel Kia had filled her vehicle with £50 of petrol at the Sainsburys petrol station. She contacted us crying and genuinely upset as she had never put petrol in a diesel car previously and didn't know what would happen to her vehicle in doing so. We assured her that the vehicle should be okay and that she would be back in action very quickly. When we arrived she was still upset but while our technician started work on the fuel drain she simmered down since she discovered that something could be done and her car wasn't ruined. She soon cheered up and was up and running saying, "I really can't believe my misfortune putting the wrong fuel in my car! Especially with the children on board."
