What a good night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 am on a bright Wednesday and we were off to assist an old lady after she put the wrong fuel in her diesel Lexus in Barnstaple. I had been advised she had driven away from the petrol station and was pulled up on a backwater road along the way to see her family. I popped the location straight into the TomTom and was on-scene in less than 60 minutes. I turned up at the location and removed the contaminated fuel from the car. While I was working she said, "I have been getting fairly forgetful in my senior years and forgot about the car using diesel since I'd only purchased it a short while back when my previous one, which I'd had for about thirty years, inevitably stopped working". I got the job done and she presented me a Murray mint and thanked me for my hard work. What a lovely Devon lady!

Our Fields of Expertise: Services We Provide:
Do you or your employees usually misfuel your car? We can resolve any connected problems.
AdBlue In your Fuel
How to proceed if you?ve put Adblue in a Diesel fuel tank? Adblue is actually devastating to your car's fuel system, specifically any time you have had the engine running with Adblue in your diesel fuel tank. Once the engine has been started up the Adblue is going to be pushed into your fuel lines and will swiftly start to crystalise, bringing about serious and expensive problems to your automobile's fuel system.
If you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out asap. And of course never crank the vehicle - not even to move it off the pump. In the event that you have started the vehicle you will probably have to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.
Fuel contaminated with water
Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important situation to handle in a vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Water in fuel tank can trigger idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied fully, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain than water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can take care of both cases rather quickly.
Keep in mind that any time the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted since the previous one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.
Boat Fuel Drains
If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help get it out.
