Our Areas of Competence :

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

AdBlue Contamination

All over Devon we have noticed a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is partially a result of drivers being unsure of the way to work with it (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly adjacent to one another on the car.

Now, exactly what is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing that the product is mainly deionised water, it's like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Apart from this, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

If you get in this predicament don?t panic! Call us, the UK?s Number 1 fuel contamination company. Our technicians have got the technical skills and working experience to get you back on the road promptly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, can be an important situation to deal with in a vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Having water in the diesel or petrol can potentially contribute to idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with correctly, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove in comparison with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can deal with both circumstances fairly swiftly.

You should know however that so long as the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one will likely be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to a car or truck parking bay we can access the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have performed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel reservoir laying in the rear of the garden containing old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous private and industrial properties in Devon for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or even a number of drums in a storage shed, if we can access it, we are able to empty it.

Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Torpoint (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a comprehensive Devon Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to re-fill your vehicle if you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at pump price) to fill up your automobile. They are also able to fix the standard problems which could go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Torpoint - Torpoint Wrong Fuel Doctor

I had a wonderful afternoon fishing on my afternoon off and was feeling cheerful the following morning as I was on the way to aid a young couple who were vacationing in Torpoint. They'd pulled over after putting diesel in their Lexus, and the car was around half an hour's travel away. I turned up at their position and smiled to myself while I heard to the lady telling her husband off for actually being so foolish. "Precisely how could you possibly find a way to fill the car up using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I wanted to explain that this problem comes to pass regularly in Devon and that it's absolutely nothing to fret about, but he in spite of everything had an ear bashing by his better half. Unlucky boy. At any rate, I extracted all the polluted fuel, flushed the motor and filled it up with the proper fuel. While watching them drive away I mouthed goodbye and thought about what my missus would ask me if perhaps I made the same mistake... I'd personally under no circumstances live it down!
