It was around 5 pm on a Saturday and though we were guaranteed a rainless day, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Brian and I were resting there talking about the weekend's sports results, prepared for the 6th call for the day to arrive. Eventually we had the call from a lovely woman on a company excursion who had arrived at the BP filling garage in Colyton and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Mitsubishi hire car by mistake. She was somewhat agitated apparently, crying "I can't believe I have messed up the car! I'm so used to filling my petrol car that I totally did not remember that I was running a diesel!" I advised her to calm down and not to be concerned, and that such things sadly do happen. She was able to get the vehicle into a safe position and, since it was only a short distance away from us, we were able to arrive at her rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was taken out and she could get back to the motel she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got extremely soaked, it was all worth the effort to see her drive off calm and much less concerned. Another job in Devon well done in my books!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Devon we have found a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part as a result of drivers not being totally sure the right way to use it (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right near to each other on the car.

Now, what exactly is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing that the product is primarily ionised water, it is like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

In the event that you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained as quickly as possible. And most certainly don't start the car - not even to relocate it off of the pump. Assuming you did start the car you will likely have to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually an important issue to take care of in a motor vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Having water in your diesel or petrol will bring about idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed fully, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out as compared with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both circumstances very quickly.

Bear in mind though that any time the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will probably be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. So long as the boat is either on land, or moored near to a vehicle parking bay we will be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've completed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel tank lying in the back of your premises with aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous domestic and commercial properties in Devon for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or even some containers in a garage, assuming that we can get to it, we can certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Colyton (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a comprehensive Devon Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to refill your vehicle in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump prices) and fill up the car. They can also take care of the usual issues which could accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, and even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Colyton - Colyton Petrol in Diesel

A customer had conked out just off a road in Colyton. His MG engine had stopped functioning and he'd no idea what was awry right up until he realised he had put unleaded in his diesel car. He phoned us to request a fuel drain and that is when he said to us: "I can't believe that I didn't know that I had put the incorrect fuel in my car." He claimed that he had gotten absolutely no rest the evening before and that could have been the key reason why.
