It was just before 6 pm on a Saturday and while we were promised a rainless day, it hadn't stopped pouring! James and I were relaxing commenting on the recent football rankings, ready for the sixth job that day to arrive. Finally we received a call from a lovely woman on a company excursion who had pulled into the Texaco petrol garage in Dawlish and filled petrol in her diesel Ford rental car in error. The poor lady was fairly agitated it seemed, stating "I cannot believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling my petrol car I had did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I advised her to relax and not to fret, plus that such things sadly often happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle to a secure position and, seeing as it was just a short distance off from the office, we could get to her almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was taken out and she was able to go home to the motel she was lodging in. Although we got fairly drenched, it was all worth the time to see her drive away relaxed and much less concerned. A job in Devon well done in my books!

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Devon we are identifying increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is partially due to people being unsure of the right way to use it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually right next to each other on the automobile.

Well, what's the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Furthermore, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it as soon as possible. And obviously don't turn over the motor - not even to shift it off of the pump. Assuming you did start the vehicle you would most likely have to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important condition to handle in a vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Putting water inside your diesel or petrol may well bring about idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied effectively, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both situations quite expediently.

Take note though that if the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the previous one will be completely wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to parking bay we should be able to reach the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got an old fuel container sitting in the rear of your garden containing aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of domestic and industrial properties in Devon to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even numerous drums in a garage, provided that we are able to access it, we can empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Dawlish (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a full Devon Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to refill your vehicle if you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) to fill your car or truck. They are also able to handle any of the typical issues which can go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or maybe dead batteries due to over-cranking.
