It was after 10 pm on a Wednesday and even though we were assured a dry evening, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Paul and I were seated there talking about the weekend's footy rankings, at the ready for the seventh telephone call to arrive. Before long we had a phone call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had arrived at the Esso petrol station in Newton Abbot and filled petrol in her diesel Renault hire car in error. She was fairly affected by the sounds of it, stating "I can't believe I have messed up the vehicle! I'm so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car I totally forgot I was driving a diesel!" We told her to relax and not to fret, and also that things like this regrettably happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle to a safe position and, because it was only a few miles off from us, we could get to the lady rather quickly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could get back to the motel she was lodging at. Even though we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth the effort to see her drive home satisfied and less worried. Yet another fuel drain in Devon well done in my mind!

Our Fields of Specialties:

This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Devon we have found increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part stemming from motorists not being totally sure the right way to work with it (be aware: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually right next to one another on the car.

So, what exactly is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Because AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

If perhaps you put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained immediately. And most certainly don't start up the vehicle - not even to shift it to a parking bay. In the instance that you have started the car you would very likely have to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is certainly a serious condition to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel tank is likely to cause idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with properly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove as compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both situations rather easily.

You should know though that any time the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the old one is going to be completely wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or moored close to parking spot we should be able to gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container placed in the back of your garden with unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of private and commercial properties in Devon to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or possibly even several drums in a shed, provided that we are able to reach it, we are able to empty it for you.

We can easily get out to re-fill your automobile in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at your home.
