Our Areas of Expertise: Services We Provide:

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

AdBlue In Diesel

In Cornwall we are noticing increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is in part a result of drivers not being aware of how to to make use of (remember: it is actually not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right close to one another on the automobile.

Well, precisely what is the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? As the product is mostly deionised water, it's just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water will not blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Furthermore, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

Assuming you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out at once. And most certainly be careful not to turn over the engine - not even to maneuver it off of the pump. In the instance that you have started the car you would in all likelihood have to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is actually an important situation to take care of in a car - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your petrol or diesel can bring about idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not addressed effectively, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can deal with both situations very simply.

Be aware though that if ever the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one is going to be totally wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to parking bay we will be able to access the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel tank laying at the rear of the garden with aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several privately owned and commercial properties in Cornwall for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps some drums in an outbuilding, as long as we can get to it, we can drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Launceston (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a complete Cornwall Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to fill up your automobile in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) to refill your car or truck. They are also able to deal with the normal issues which may go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even flat batteries due to over-cranking.

I had enjoyed a perfect evening fishing during my afternoon off and was feeling satisfied the next morning as I was en route to assist a new family who were on vacation in Launceston. They had pulled over after inserting petrol in their Smart, and they were around an hour's drive away. I turned up at their car and smirked to myself while I heard to the woman berating her spouse for actually being so silly. "Precisely how could you even be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she asked him. I attempted to tell her that this problem happens constantly in Cornwall and that it is nothing to be anxious about, even so he all the same got an earful by his missus. Unfortunate boy. In any case, I cleaned up and removed all the contaminated fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave it some correct fuel. Watching them drive off I shouted so long and wondered what her indoors would ask me if ever I did the exact same thing... I'd never live it down!

We have fuel drainers on call in the neighborhood ready and waiting to arrive and empty your vehicle of the incorrect fuel or polluted fuel. We operate 24/7 every day of the year. All of our experts are thoroughly competent and knowledgeable in taking on all sorts of automobiles.

I wouldn't like conking out in a vehicle full of the improper fuel halfway down the street. We had a customer who filled up her tank with the wrong fuel (Skoda) in Launceston encountered precisely this nightmare: "Your technician got my car from the road. He drained it and had it functioning once more after only a half-hour. Highly recommended."

This was what is called the graveyard shift. It was about 2:30am and almost noone was about. It was fairly quiet so far, and Ryan and I were relaxing reading a number of old articles. It was an unusual calm time in Cornwall. Actually it was in fact so peaceful that the moment my mobile rang I jumped! The voice said: "I've only just ended my night shift and foolishly filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Mazda in error". We asked him to let us know where he was located and we headed out, getting to him in Launceston not as much as an hour later. The wrong fuel was cleared from the engine. He said many thanks for showing up so promptly. As we were coming back home we noticed two ladies at the edge of the highway who seemed to have a flat tyre. As a result we pulled over and helped them change it, to their elation.

Wrong Fuel Assist Launceston - Launceston Fuel Removal

A person called us from Launceston to state that he had stupidly pumped petrol in to his diesel Nissan. "Unbelievable! How could I put unleaded in my lovely diesel car!" It took our specialist around 50 minutes to completely drain the contaminated fuel out of the car. He meticulously cleaned the fuel lines, filter and pumps and after that put clean diesel in the car. The customer was delighted and it didn't cost him dealership rates to get the job properly completed.
