It was before 10 pm on a Wednesday and even though we were guaranteed a rainless night, it had not stopped pouring! Dan and me were seated talking about the recent sports, ready for the 8th fuel drain of the day to arrive. Eventually we received the call from a woman on a business trip who had gone to the Esso petrol garage in Brixham and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Lexus rental by mistake. The poor thing was somewhat agitated it seemed, telling me "I still cannot believe that I have ruined the vehicle! I am just so used to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I had forgot I was running a diesel!" I just told her to take it easy and not to worry, and that these things regrettably do happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle into a secure area and, because it was only a few miles off from us, we were able to find the lady fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could get back to the Premier Inn she was lodging in. Although we got very wet, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive away satisfied and much less concerned. Yet another misfuel correction in Devon done well in my books!

Services We Give:

Listed here are the top services we give to our clients.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Devon we have discovered a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where someone has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partially as a result of people not knowing the way to work with it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly near to each other on the car.

Well, what exactly is the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? As the product is mainly ionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Furthermore, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

Contact us if it turns out you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and are able to fix all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is usually an important issue to take care of in a car - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Water in diesel or petrol may result in idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out properly, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can deal with both cases quite simply.

Remember that whenever the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or parked close to parking spot we can gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We've done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank at the back of the garden containing out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several domestic and industrial premises in Devon to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or even several containers in a shed, assuming that we can reach it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Brixham (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a complete Devon Run Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to re-fill the car in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) and refill your vehicle. They are also able to fix any of the usual problems which may go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, as well as dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue Brixham - Brixham Fuel Rescue

A gentleman rang us from his home on a close in Brixham. He explained, "My car (a Porsche) is not starting up and is producing very bad noises when I flip the ignition." He admitted that he put the wrong fuel in his diesel car but then believed he would resolve the issue by putting further Diesel on top. We arrived quickly, performed the drain and filled it up once again with fresh Diesel. He said after that he would be absolutely sure to explain to people not to fill up over the wrong fuel but to have it drained promptly.
