Here's a list of the incorrect fuel services we offer.
AdBlue In Your Diesel
All over Cornwall we are noticing progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly as a consequence of motorists not being aware of the way to work with it (be aware: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right next to one another on the automobile.
Now, what exactly is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing as AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Additionally, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.
Any time you end up in this scenario don?t panic! Contact us, the UK?s Best fuel contamination company. Our technicians have got the practical knowledge and working experience to have you back on the road promptly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.
Fuel contaminated with water
Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is actually a significant situation to address in a car - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in your diesel or petrol can easily trigger idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of effectively, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove as compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to resolve both cases pretty swiftly.
Take note though that so long as the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one is going to be totally wet and unusable.
Motorboat Fuel Drains
If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. As long as the boat is either on land, or parked close to a car parking spot we can reach the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}
Waste Fuel Management
Got a fuel reservoir in the rear of your garden with old, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and industrial premises in Cornwall for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a few containers in a storage shed, providing we can reach it, we can empty it.
Run Out of Fuel Assistance
Out of fuel in Penzance (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a full Cornwall Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to refill your vehicle any time you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at cost) to fill the car.

Stories from our own Penzance team:
We performed a wrong fuel retrieval exercise near a spectacular residential home in Penzance not so long ago.

Our technician went out, despite the fact that it was rather late at night, and performed a full fuel drain and cleanse on the Suzuki .
Wrong Fuel in Car Penzance - Penzance Fuel Removal
This was most definitely what we call the night shift. It was about 3 in the morning and nobody was around. It was pretty quiet so far, and Mark and I were sitting around reading through several old articles. This was an uncommon quiet moment in Cornwall. Actually it was indeed so calm that the instant the phone inevitably rang I leaped with surprise! The customer said: "I've ended my overnight shift and foolishly filled the wrong fuel in my diesel Land Rover by mistake". I asked him to let us know exactly where the car was and we left, reaching him in Penzance under half an hour later. The contaminated fuel was extracted from the car. He thanked us profusely for showing up so promptly. As we were returning to the depot we found two women at the side of the highway who looked like they suffered a flat tyre. As a result we got out to help them change it, to their delight.
