It was about 7 pm on a Wednesday and while we were promised a dry evening, it had not stopped raining! Mark and me were resting there discussing the recent golf, waiting around for the sixth job that day to come in. Eventually we received the phone call from a girl on a business trip who had arrived at the Esso filling station in St Just-in-Penwith and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Fiat rental. She was pretty affected apparently, stating "I can't believe that I've destroyed the car! I'm so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot that I was driving a diesel!" We asked her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and also that these things do happen. She had managed to move the vehicle to a protected position and, because it was just a few minutes away from our van, we could arrive at the woman right away. The contaminated fuel was removed and she was able to go home to the hotel she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got extremely soaked, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive home satisfied and much less concerned. One more job in Cornwall well done in my books!

Our Fields of Expertise: Services We Offer:

We are willing to take the wrong fuel work.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Cornwall we have encountered an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partly caused by drivers being unsure of the way to use it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly adjacent to one another on the automobile.

Well, what's the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Since the product is mostly deionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Additionally, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If you get in this situation do not panic! Call us, the UK?s Number 1 fuel contamination company. Our engineers have the practical competence and working experience to get you back on the road swiftly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's petrol or diesel, is usually a significant matter to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol is likely to trigger idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out correctly, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both cases quite easily.

Keep in mind though that any time the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be installed because the previous one is going to be completely water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Providing the boat is either on land, or secured near to a motor vehicle parking bay we should be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel reservoir sitting at the rear of your garden containing unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many privately owned and business properties in Cornwall for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even some drums in a storage shed, provided that we can get to it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in St Just-in-Penwith (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a complete Cornwall Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to fill up your car if you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) to fill up the car. They can also take care of any of the usual issues that could accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car St Just-in-Penwith - St Just-in-Penwith Wrong Fuel Assist

I'd had a wonderful day hiking on my holiday and was feeling pleased with myself the following day as I set off to help a young family on vacation in St Just-in-Penwith. They pulled over after adding diesel in their Skoda, and were approximately half an hour's travel away. I showed up at their position and laughed as I heard to the wife telling her hubby off for actually being so foolish. "Precisely how could you conceivably be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she demanded of him. I wanted to explain that this problem takes place on a regular basis in Cornwall and that it's in reality nothing to be concerned about, however he in spite of everything got an earful by his wife. Unfortunate chap. Anyhow, I extracted all the polluted fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave them some right fuel. While watching them drive away I shouted goodbye and pondered on what my missus would ask me if I did the exact same thing... I'd under no circumstances hear the end of it!
