This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Cornwall we are discovering a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is partially due to motorists not being totally sure how to work with it (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly adjacent to one another on the car.

Well, precisely what is the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Because AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Apart from this, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it as soon as possible. And obviously be careful not to crank the vehicle - not even to shift it away from the pump. In cases where you did start the vehicle you will almost certainly have to have the entire fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, tends to be a significant condition to address in a vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel tank may cause idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed correctly, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of than water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both circumstances pretty easily.

Keep in mind that whenever the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will probably be totally water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or moored near to a motor vehicle parking bay we are able to access the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel container laying in the rear of the garden containing old, useless or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous private and commercial properties in Cornwall to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps numerous containers in a garage, providing we are able to access it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Porthleven (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a complete Cornwall Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to re-fill your car if you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at cost) to fill up your automobile. They are also able to deal with the common troubles that might go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to start, and even flat batteries caused by over-cranking.
