It was before 5 pm on a Tuesday and although we were guaranteed a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring! Dan and I were seated there going over the rugby rankings, waiting for the 6th fuel drain to arrive. Eventually we received the phone call from a lady on a company excursion who had gone to the BP petrol garage in St Just-in-Penwith and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Citroen rental by mistake. The unfortunate lady was quite distressed by the sounds of it, stating "I still cannot believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I am so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I just told her to settle back and not to worry, and that such things do happen. She was able to get the vehicle to a safe area and, since it was only a short distance off from where we were, we were able to get to the customer rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was extracted and she could return to the motel she was staying in. Even though we got pretty wet, it was all rewarding to see her drive off contented and much less concerned. Another fuel drain in Cornwall well done in my opinion!

Services We Offer:

Helping you get back on the road is our primary goal.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

What you can do in case you?ve poured Adblue into a Diesel fuel tank? Adblue can be disastrous to your car's fuel system, specifically in cases where you started the car with Adblue in your diesel fuel tank. Once the engine has been started the Adblue will undoubtedly be pulled into the fuel lines and will immediately start to crystalise, bringing about disastrous and costly damage to your automobile's fuel system.

Give us a call if it turns out you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to take care of different types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually a serious situation to take care of in an automobile - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Water inside your petrol or diesel will often trigger idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed correctly, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can deal with both cases quite easily.

Keep in mind that if ever the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the previous one will undoubtedly be totally wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or moored close to a car or truck parking spot we should be able to gain access to the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've succesfully done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got an old fuel tank placed in the back of the garden with old, useless or contaminated fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of private and industrial properties in Cornwall for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even several drums in an outbuilding, assuming that we are able to reach it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in St Just-in-Penwith (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a comprehensive Cornwall Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to refill the car if you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at pump prices) and fill up the car. They will be able to handle any of the usual issues that can go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even flat batteries due to over-cranking.
