It was after eight pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were promised a rainless night, it hadn't stopped raining! James and I were sitting discussing the recent tennis results, at the ready for the seventh call that day to arrive. In due time we had the call from a lady on a business excursion who had pulled into the BP filling station in Camborne and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Audi hire car in error. She was quite troubled it seemed, stating "I simply can't believe that I have messed up the car! I am just so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot that I was using a diesel!" We advised her to relax and not to be concerned, plus that these things do happen. She had managed to move the car to a protected space and, since it was no more than a few miles off from the office, we were able to find the customer rather quickly. The bad fuel was drained so she was able to return to the Travelodge she was living in. Despite the fact we got really soaked, it was all worth the time to see her drive off relaxed and much less stressed. A misfuel correction in Cornwall well done in my books!

We are ready to take the wrong fuel work.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Cornwall we are finding progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is mostly as a consequence of motorists being unsure of how to work with it (pay attention: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Now, precisely what is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing as AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is actually just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition to this, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

Assuming you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it right away. And obviously don't crank the car - not even to relocate it off the pump. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you may very likely have to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is without question a serious matter to address in a motor vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines. Having water in fuel can potentially result in idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of effectively, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove when compared with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to handle both cases rather quickly.

Take note however that any time the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the old one will probably be wholly wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to a car parking bay we will be able to access the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We've completed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel reservoir placed in the back of your garden containing unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few domestic and business premises in Cornwall to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even a few drums in an outbuilding, provided that we are able to get to it, we are able to empty it.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Camborne (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a full Cornwall Out of Fuel Service. We can help to fill up your automobile if you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) and refill your automobile. They are also able to fix any of the usual problems that might go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Camborne - Camborne Wrong Fuel Drain

A gentleman called us from Camborne to say he had foolishly pumped unleaded in his diesel Smart. "Shocking! How could I put the wrong fuel in my beautiful diesel car!" It only took our engineer roughly fifty minutes to fully drain the wrong fuel from the vehicle. He completely cleaned the fuel lines, filter and pumps and after that put fresh fuel in the vehicle. The customer was happy and it didn't cost him dealer prices to get the task professionally performed.
