Our Areas of Competence :

Below are the top services we give to our clients.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Devon we are noticing more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent due to people not knowing the way to work with it (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly adjacent to one another on the car.

So, exactly what is the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Since the product is primarily deionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition to this, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained right away. And most definitely be careful not to crank the motor - not even to maneuver it into a parking bay. In cases where you have started the vehicle you would in all probability have to have the full fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a serious condition to take care of in an automobile - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Water in your fuel will trigger idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with fully, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out when compared with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to handle both situations very quickly.

Bear in mind though that in the event that the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be installed because the old one will probably be totally water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. So long as the boat is either on land, or secured near to a vehicle parking spot we are able to gain access to the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel tank placed at the back of your premises full of aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and commercial premises in Devon for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable 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 possibly even numerous containers in a shed, if we are able to reach it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Exeter (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a full Devon Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to fill up your vehicle in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at cost) to fill the car. They will be able to handle the most common issues which could come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, as well as dead batteries due to over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Exeter - Exeter Wrong Fuel Assist

I had a fantastic afternoon golfing on my holiday and was feeling cheerful with myself the following morning as I set out to help a new couple vacationing in Exeter. They'd conked out after filling diesel into their Land Rover, and the car was roughly half an hour's drive away. I turned up at their position and smiled while I heard to the woman telling her hubby off for being so foolish. "How could you conceivably find a way to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she told him. I wanted to explain that this takes place continuously in Devon and that it is nothing at all to worry about, and yet he in spite of everything got an ear bashing by his missus. Poor chap. At any rate, I extracted the wrong fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled them up with the appropriate fuel. While watching them drive down the road I mouthed good bye and pondered on what her indoors would ask me if perhaps I made the very same error... I'd personally never hear the end of it!
