It was close to six pm on a Saturday and although we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! James and me were resting there discussing the weekend's rugby results, waiting for the 8th job for the day to arrive. Eventually we received a call from a young lady on a business excursion who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol station in Porthleven and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Kia lease car. She was quite irritated apparently, saying "I simply can't believe that I have messed up the car! I am so used to filling up my petrol car I completely did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I advised her to relax and not to worry, and also that these things regrettably often happen. She was able to get the car into a protected space and, seeing as it was just a few minutes from where we were, we could arrive at the woman swiftly. The contaminated fuel was extracted and she could once again go back to the hotel she was staying in. Even though we got really soaked, it was all worth it seeing her drive away satisfied and less anxious. A misfuel correction in Cornwall well done in my opinion!

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

AdBlue Contamination

All around Cornwall we are identifying more and more instances of AdBlue contamination when somebody has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partially as a result of people not understanding the right way to use it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly next to each other on the automobile.

So, what exactly is the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing that the product is predominantly ionised water, it's almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

In case you get in this situation don?t panic! Call us, the UK?s Best fuel contamination service. Our technicians have got the practical knowledge and working experience to have you back on the road rapidly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant condition to deal with in a vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Water in your fuel will often cause idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied correctly, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to solve both circumstances quite swiftly.

Take note that whenever the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one is going to be totally wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to a car or truck parking bay we are able to reach the tanks and drain out the fuel. We've done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got an old fuel container sitting at the rear of the garden containing out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many domestic and industrial premises in Cornwall for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even several drums in an outbuilding, provided that we can access it, we can empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Porthleven (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a complete Cornwall Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to fill up your car in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump price) to fill up your automobile. They are also able to take care of any of the most common problems that might go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Assist Porthleven - Porthleven Wrong Fuel Doctor

A week ago a motorist telephoned us after his MG stopped in the middle of a street in Porthleven. He had mistakenly put the incorrect fuel in his diesel car and was only able to get so far as the road before needing to stop. It was actually in the early hours of the day and our technical engineer, who lives locally, was with him in less than 20 minutes. We managed to take out the incorrect fuel and put fresh diesel yet again into the vehicle. "Sincere kudos to you for your fast response, especially at 4 a.m., I truly appreciate it."
