It was before 5 pm on a Friday and even though we were assured a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Dan and me were seated there commenting on the recent footy, waiting for the 8th job of the day to arrive. Eventually we had the phone call from a young lady on a business expedition who had gone to the Sainsburys filling garage in Colyton and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Nissan rental by mistake. The poor thing was quite irritated by the sounds of it, stating "I can not believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I had didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just told her to take it easy and not to worry, and that these things often happen. She was able to move the vehicle into a safe space and, seeing that it was only a few miles from us, we were able to arrive at her swiftly. The bad fuel was drained so she could return to the hotel she was staying at. Despite the fact we got very wet, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive away satisfied and less stressed. A misfuel correction in Devon done well in my opinion!

Below are our top services we offer to our customers.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Devon we are encountering progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to some extent caused by motorists being unsure of the right way to use it (please note: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly near to each other on the automobile.

Well, exactly what is the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing as the product is primarily ionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Also, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

In the case you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it asap. And of course don't start the car - not even to move it off the pump. In cases where you have started the vehicle you will most likely have to have the whole fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, can be a serious issue to address in an automobile - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel is likely to produce idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed properly, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain as compared with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. However we can deal with both circumstances pretty quickly.

Bear in mind that if the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will probably be wholly wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to a vehicle parking spot we should be able to access the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel container placed in the rear of your premises with unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous privately owned and business properties in Devon for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even some containers in an outbuilding, assuming that we can get to it, we are able to drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Colyton (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a comprehensive Devon Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to fill up the car in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at cost) to fill your automobile. They can also take care of any of the most common problems that can come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Colyton - Colyton Wrong Fuel in Car

A man called us from Colyton to say he had foolishly piped the wrong fuel in his diesel BMW. "Shocking! I can't believe I put petrol in my nice diesel car!" It took our engineer about 50 minutes to fully drain the wrong fuel out of the car. He completely purged the fuel system and put fresh diesel in the vehicle. The customer was thrilled and it didn't cost him dealer rates to have the job properly done.
