Here is a list of the incorrect fuel services we provide.
AdBlue Contamination
All over Cornwall we have identified more and more instances of AdBlue contamination where someone has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mainly as a result of drivers not being totally sure the right way to to make use of (important: it's not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right next to one another on the vehicle.
Now, precisely what is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Since AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Furthermore, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.
In case you put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained right away. And absolutely be careful not to switch on the car - not even to shift it into a parking area. In the instance that you did start the car you would probably have to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters changed.
Water contaminated fuel
Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is actually a serious situation to address in a car - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel may well contribute to idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of properly, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove when compared with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both cases quite swiftly.
You should know though that if ever the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one will likely be totally water-logged and useless.
Marine Fuel Drains
In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to a car or truck parking spot we will be able to access the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Recent Fuel Drains in Penzance
A few reviews:
We did a wrong fuel retrieval job outside a lovely residential home in Penzance recently. "I put unleaded in my diesel car and was able to almost get home when my car quit." Our specialist went out, even though it was quite late at night, and completed a thorough fuel drain and cleanse on the Jaguar to everyone's satisfaction.
Vehicle Misfuel Penzance - Penzance Fuel Drain
This was certainly the night shift. It was about dawn and nobody was about. It had become pretty quiet thus far, and me and Mark were loafing around browsing a few old papers. It was a rare quiet time in Cornwall. It was so calm that when the telephone eventually rang I jumped with surprise! The motorist on the phone explained: "I just finished my night shift and incredibly put the wrong fuel in the diesel BMW". I instructed him to inform us just where the vehicle was located and we hit the road, ending up in Penzance no more than an hour later. The wrong fuel was cleaned from the engine and he thanked us profusely for getting there so fast. While we were returning to the office we found two ladies on the side of the road who looked like they had a puncture. As a result we pulled up to change it, much to their elation.
