It was just after 6 pm on a Saturday and though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Ray and I were resting there talking about the golf rankings, ready for the 6th call that day to come in. Before long we had a call from a girl on a business trip who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling garage in Dawlish and put petrol in a diesel Jaguar rental. The poor thing was fairly affected by the sounds of it, saying "I can not believe that I've destroyed the car! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle I totally didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" We asked her to relax and not to fret, plus that such things unfortunately can happen. She managed to move the vehicle to a secure area and, seeing that it was no more than a few minutes away from our van, we could reach the lady without delay. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was residing at. Even though we got really soaked, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive off calm and much less concerned. Another fuel drain in Devon well done in my books!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Devon we are identifying an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination when somebody has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is mostly a result of motorists not understanding the way to to make use of (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right close to one another on the vehicle.

Now, exactly what is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing as the product is predominantly ionised water, it is actually just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water don't mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Apart from this, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

Any time you find yourself in this position don?t panic! Contact us, the UK?s Number 1 fuel contamination business. Our technicians possess the technical competence and experience to have you back on the road promptly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually an important issue to address in a vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel tank can certainly bring about idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not remedied properly, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both cases pretty swiftly.

You should know that so long as the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will likely be completely water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Providing the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to a vehicle parking bay we are able to access the tanks and remove the fuel. We've done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

We have been called out to numerous privately owned and industrial premises in Devon for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even a few containers in a storage shed, assuming that we can access it, we are able to empty it.

Fuel Rescue Dawlish - Dawlish Wrong Fuel Drain

A motorist had conked out near a street in Dawlish. His MG engine had ceased working and he had no clue what was wrong right up until he noticed he had put petrol in his diesel vehicle. He rang us to request a fuel drain and that is when he told us: "I can't believe that I did not realise that I put the wrong fuel in my car." He claimed that he had gotten no rest the night before and that could have been the key reason why.
