It was around ten pm on a Thursday and while we were promised a dry evening, it hadn't ceased raining! Ray and me were sitting there commenting on the recent rugby, prepared for the 6th job of the day to come in. Inevitably we received the phone call from a lovely women on a company trip who had arrived at the Texaco filling station in Penryn and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Land Rover lease car. The unfortunate lady was pretty agitated it seemed, crying "I simply can't believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I completely forgot I was using a diesel!" I just told her to calm down and not to worry, and also that things like this regrettably do happen. She had managed to get the car into a safe area and, seeing as it was just a few miles from our van, we were able to reach her swiftly. The incorrect fuel was drained and she was able to get back to the hotel she was lodging in. Although we got extremely soaked, it was all worth it seeing her drive home satisfied and not so anxious. A misfuel correction in Cornwall done well in my books!

Our Areas of Expertise :

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

AdBlue Contamination

What you should do in case you have poured Adblue into your Diesel tank? Adblue is actually disastrous to your vehicle's fuel system, particularly if you have had the engine running with Adblue in the diesel tank. Whenever the engine has been switched on the Adblue will be pushed into the fuel lines and will quickly start to crystalise, bringing about serious and costly harm to your car's fuel system.

If perhaps you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it as soon as possible. And definitely don't start the engine - not even to move it to a parking place. If you did start the vehicle you will probably need to have the full fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a significant matter to take care of in a vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol can potentially trigger idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of correctly, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can handle both cases quite simply.

Remember that as long as the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter to be installed because the previous one will be completely water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to a vehicle parking bay we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have carried out numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got an old fuel container placed in the back of the garden full of old, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several domestic and business properties in Cornwall to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or even a number of containers in an outbuilding, provided that we are able to access it, we could certainly empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Penryn (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a comprehensive Cornwall Run Out of Fuel Service. We will come to refill your car any time you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump price) to fill up the car. They are also able to fix the usual issues that might go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or even dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Penryn - Penryn Wrong Fuel in Car

I had appreciated a great afternoon golfing on my off day and felt delighted with myself the next working day as I set out to assist a new couple on holiday in Penryn. They pulled over after adding petrol into their MG, and were close to an hour away. I showed up at their car and smirked while I heard to the girl telling off her partner for being so daft. "Exactly how could you actually be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she told him. I attempted to explain that this takes place all the time in Cornwall and that it's truly absolutely nothing to be concerned about, however he in spite of everything had his ear bent by his better half. Unlucky guy. In any case, I removed the contaminated fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled it up with the appropriate fuel. Watching them drive away I waved good bye and considered what my missus would say to me if ever I made the same blunder... I'd personally never ever hear the end of it!
