Services We Give:

Listed below are our top services we offer to our customers.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Devon we are noticing an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partially stemming from drivers being unsure of how to to make use of (important: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly near to each other on the car.

Now, what exactly is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Because the product is mostly ionised water, it's as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

If perhaps you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained as quickly as possible. And most certainly take care not to start the vehicle - not even to move it into a parking bay. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you will probably need to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important condition to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Water in your fuel tank can potentially produce idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out properly, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out when compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. However we can deal with both cases fairly easily.

Take note that if ever the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one is going to be wholly wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to a car parking bay we will be able to reach the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've carried out many fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank sitting in the rear of your premises containing aged, useless or degraded fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several privately owned and business properties in Devon to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even numerous drums in a shed, assuming that we are able to get to it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Ilfracombe (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a full Devon Out of Fuel Service. We can come to refill your automobile in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) and fill up your automobile. They can also deal with the common troubles which could accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.


Wrong Fuel Assist Ilfracombe - Ilfracombe Fuel Drain

I enjoyed a great evening fishing during the weekend and felt pleased the following working day as I was en route to assist a new couple who were holidaying in Ilfracombe. They had pulled over after adding the wrong fuel in their Chevrolet, and the car was roughly an hour's drive away. I arrived at their location and smiled while I listened to the gal chastising her partner for turning out to be so stupid. "Just how could you actually manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she demanded of him. I attempted to tell her that this situation goes on on a regular basis in Devon and that it's really nothing to be concerned about, but he in spite of everything had an ear bashing. Poor boy. Anyhow, I extracted the wrong fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave it some appropriate fuel. While watching them drive down the road I mouthed so long and pondered on what my missus would do to me if perhaps I made the same mistake... I would never hear the end of it!

All of our engineers are skilled on the latest motor vehicles and their fuel systems. We go to more than 4 thousand contaminated fuel removals annually in the United Kingdom (indeed, there are that many people today who make the mistake - you are definitely not on your own). Our call centres are open twenty four hours a day and seven days a week. Our technicians are on duty any time you want them.

Reports from our own Ilfracombe personnel:

We were phoned by a gentleman whose Vauxhall had broken down on a road because he put the wrong fuel in it. "I got the pumps mixed up and pumped the wrong fuel in my car in error. These guys came out and sorted out the issue after my car gave up." We drained the wrong fuel from the diesel tank and flushed the fuel lines thoroughly and the motorist could then proceed with his deliveries.

Vehicle Misfuel Ilfracombe - Ilfracombe Fuel Removal

A man phoned us from his Citroen where he had conked out on the bustling road. "I incorrectly put the wrong fuel in my diesel car and I ultimately found out all about it a number of miles down the road!" Luckily we were in a position to have an fuel drainer out to him in a reasonably short time, taking into account the fact it was rush-hour, and he was shortly back on the road.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Ilfracombe - Ilfracombe Wrong Fuel Doctor

A gentleman contacted us from his residence on a close in Ilfracombe. He said, "My car (a Mitsubishi) is not running and is making very bad sounds when I flip the ignition." He said that he put unleaded in his diesel vehicle but then thought he would fix the problem by putting further Diesel on top. We arrived promptly, carried out the drain and filled it up again with untainted Diesel. He said after that he'd be certain to inform people not to fill up on top of the wrong fuel but to have it drained promptly.
