A gentleman broken down on a road in Dartmouth required a fuel drain around a month back. His Fiat was broken down roadside after he had filled up with the wrong fuel. He was relaxed when he contacted us but a bit concerned to move his car off the road as he was causing some congestion. We got to him in a quarter-hour because our drainer was in nearby Dartmouth and had just completed his previous job. He said, "I simply do not believe I put unleaded in my diesel car and got stuck ! My car was not running well I needed to pull over and after that it died."

Do you or your employees often misfuel your car? We can resolve any connected problems.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Devon we have identified a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is partially thanks to people not being aware of how to use it (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly adjacent to each other on the car.

Well, what exactly is the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? As the product is mostly ionised water, it's like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Apart from this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it as quickly as possible. And definitely do not start up the engine - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. If you did start the vehicle you may very likely need to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is generally an important condition to handle in a motor vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Water in your diesel or petrol may well lead to idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out properly, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both situations quite easily.

You should know that whenever the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the previous one will probably be thoroughly wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to a car or truck parking bay we are able to reach the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We've succesfully done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir in the back of the garden with out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous privately owned and commercial premises in Devon for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even several containers in a shed, as long as we can reach it, we can drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Dartmouth (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a full Devon Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to re-fill your car in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at cost) and fill the car. They can also take care of any of the usual issues that may go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to start, as well as dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Dartmouth - Dartmouth Fuel Drain

I had enjoyed a terrific day cycling during the weekend and was feeling pleased with myself the next working day as I set off to assist a new couple holidaying in Dartmouth. They'd stopped after inserting the wrong fuel in their Mercedes, and the car was about an hour's travel away. I turned up at their position and smiled while I listened to the wife berating her partner for being so daft. "Exactly how could you even manage to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she told him. I wanted to clarify that this happens continuously in Devon and that it is absolutely nothing to fret about, and yet he still got an earful by his wife. Poor boy. Anyhow, I removed the wrong fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave it some proper fuel. Watching them drive down the road I shouted good bye and thought about what my wife would do to me if perhaps I did the same thing... I would never hear the end of it!
